Lip blush
Lip blush
"Lip blushing is a form of semi-permanent or makeup where people are looking to rejuvenate the colour of their lip border or the actual substance of the lips. It's natural for people to lose colour as they get older, especially women's lips and lip lines. Many women use lip liner to compensate for the loss of colour and lip definition and to give the lips a little plumper appearance. Once performed, this procedure produces very natural results. Lip filler works well for adding volume to your lips, but lip blush offers the appearance of makeup all the time.
Lips blushing will last for 2- 3 years. Follow up treatments are to be done between 4 weeks to 8 weeks following the procedure. Sometimes follow up can be a bit longer depending on the healing of your lip. In most cases lip blush will for 2-3 years and as the years go by the colour will diminish bit by bit and eventually your natural lip colour will appear

Post care instructions
1) Intense lip moisturizer to use for 7 days, apply with a clean q-tip a very . Only a very thin layer is needed to allow the lip skin to breathe.
2) Damp gauze to gently dab your lips to remove any lymph fluid every hour for 5 hours after the appointment ONLY for the first day. This is a very important step because if this mostly clear, yellowish fluid is not removed, it can cause scabbing, and more scabbing means less retention of the pigment. Don't be alarmed if a little pigment comes off onto the gauze. That is from the lymph fluid and completely normal.
3) If you should experience swelling, an ice pack may be applied using a thin protective barrier such as a paper towel. Icing is most effective in the first 24 hours following the procedure.
4) If your lips are really sore or swollen, you can take a pain reliever or anti-inflammatory medication
5) Avoid touching the lip and do not pick scab
Phases of healing after lip blush
Within 21 days, lips go through 3 phases:
-
1st phase "looks too dark": About 3 days with chapping (day 1-3)
-
2nd phase "looks too light": Frosty and loss of colour (days 4-13)
-
3rd phase "looks just right": Blooming (days 14-21)
Just relax here, your patience is tasted. It's a process!
Day 1: Swelling, tender, heavy thick lipstick with a reddish brick colour
Day 2: Slight swelling, reddish and tender with a slightly metallic flavor
Day 3: Less swelling, thicker texture, sore, hot feeling with an orange color effect
Day 4: Exfoliation/Peeling begins causing very chapped lips
Day 5: Very chapped lips but almost finished with the chapping stage
Day 6: A soft, rich colour begins to appear
Day 7-13: Lip colour disappears and the “frosty” stage begins as a white-ish, lighter haze on the lips
Day 14: Colour slowly and gradually develops from within each day until day 21 or about 3 weeks post-procedure
Day 21: Healing is complete. The true color is revealed as you see it. Your lips will remain a bit dry for 1-2 months. Use a good quality lip balm (with SPF of course)!
Long term care
-
Use a good quality lip balm with sunscreen on your lips daily (sunscreens with zinc or titanium dioxide as the first ingredients)
-
Please inform your technician and/or care provider of your permanent cosmetics with any future MRI scans, chemical peels, or laser procedures
-
Any makeup directly on the lips will make the colour appear different
Additional Important Information:
Please be aware that the result of the procedure is depending on the following: medications and health conditions, skin conditions such as oily, unhealthy, dry/flaky, loose and/or lax skin, poor diet and not following the aftercare instructions. All of these things can affect your healed results. Antacids, thyroid, and anxiety medications have been reported as interfering with permanent makeup either by affecting retention or shifting the pigment to an undesirable tone. With that information, an educated client may have better expectations and know that they may need more frequent adjustments than others. The better you take care of your skin and protect it from UV rays, the better the outcome and lifespan of the permanent cosmetic procedures.
