Pre-Care

Proper preparation is essential for a smooth treatment and optimal results. Please follow these guidelines before your appointment:

• Exfoliate 1 week before: Gently exfoliate your lips starting one week before your appointment. You can create a simple sugar scrub at home using a small amount of sugar mixed with a drop of coconut oil. Avoid over-exfoliating or irritating the skin.
• Keep your lips hydrated: Dry or cracked lips cannot be treated. Drink plenty of water and moisturize your lips daily. Aquaphor is recommended.
• Avoid sun exposure: Avoid prolonged sun exposure and sunburns for at least 3 days before your procedure.
• No caffeine or alcohol: Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment.
• No exercise: Avoid exercising on the day of your appointment.
• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements: Unless medically necessary or approved by your healthcare provider, avoid Advil/ibuprofen, aspirin, Vitamin E, niacin, fish oil, and omega-3 supplements for 72 hours before your procedure. Never stop prescribed medication without first consulting your healthcare provider.
• Cold sore prevention: If you are prone to cold sores, speak with your healthcare provider about taking an appropriate antiviral medication beginning 5 days before your appointment and continuing for 5 days after.

Important

Your preparation plays an important role in your treatment results. Please arrive with clean, healthy, well-hydrated lips and follow all pre-care instructions carefully.

Post-Care

Please allow 7 days for the healing process. During this time, your lips will go through the normal healing process, including possible dryness, flaking, and scabbing.

Please avoid the following during your healing period:

• Makeup on the lips

• Saunas

• Tanning

• Swimming pools

• Excessive sweating

• Picking or peeling your lips — allow any flaking or scabbing to heal naturally

• Scrubbing or exfoliating your lips

• Applying any products other than the provided ointment. Reapply the ointment every 30 minutes, as directed.

• Use a fragrance-free soap to gently cleanse your lips twice daily

• Drinking directly from cups or bottles — use a straw

• Smoking, as it can delay the healing process and may contribute to discolouration

• Spicy foods for the first 24 hours

Important

Your aftercare is 50% of your treatment's success. Following these instructions carefully is essential to proper healing and achieving the best possible results.

• Covers imperfections, hyperpigmentation, missing spots or darkness
• Boost of colour/tint
• Corrects asymmetry
• Creates illusion of fuller and youthful looking lips
• Creates definition 
• Restores lost lip pigment colour
• Defines the border and cupids bow
• Stimulates collagen production 

Results will last 2-4 years after your initial session and touch up depending on your lifestyle, health, skin factors and age. Additional touch ups may be required depending on the person and look desired.

Yes! Touch-up is the final step of the Lip Blush procedure. First touch up should be done 6 weeks after initial procedure. Lips will be 50% lighter than they appear immediately after the procedure. Touchup sessions will make results last longer and we will go over any pigment loss during healing process and fill any spots that did not retain pigment during the initial procedure.

Sensitivity varies from person to person, topical anesthetic is applied before and during the procedure to minimize any discomfort. It is also important to follow the pre-care instructions in order to feel the most comfortable and pain free throughout the procedure. 

The total procedure takes approximately 2.5 - 3 hours which includes reviewing medical history, procedure information, photos, colour selection, after care instructions and answering questions. Pre- and post-procedural photos will be taken to have better ideas about face/lip asymmetry and to document the outcome of the procedure. Every face is asymmetrical but most people do not realize this until closer inspection of their photos.  If the natural face lines and features are followed during the procedure, permanent makeup may highlight any asymmetries or imperfections.

The most important part of permanent makeup is drawing/sketching and creating the right shape. I will work with you to create a mutually agreed upon and client approved design which takes about 30 minutes. 

Pre-numbing takes 30 minutes (you will also be numbed during the procedure). The tattooing taking about 1-1.5 hours.

For safety and comfort considerations due to the length of time involved in the procedure, NO guests are allowed in the studio.
