The purpose of a lipstick tattoo is to give the lips a bold and saturated look that replaces the appearance of lipstick. Colors can range from dark to vibrant hues, depending on your preference. It’s a polular choice for for those looking to significantly improve the symmetry and overall appearance of their lips.

Expect your first treatment to take approximately 3 hours. The majority of the time is spent adequately consulting and selecting the appropriate color for your skin, measuring and mapping the planned procedure prior to actually implanting the color, and allowing for the application of topical anesthetics. Consents and aftercare instructions will be reviewed.

I use a compouned numbing cream. The pain level of having the treatment is very mild. On a scale of 1-10 most clients would rate it as a 2. Unlike the process of getting a traditional tattoo, lip tattoos are done on the surface layers of the skin making it way less painful.

After the procedure lips will tend to be swollen chapped and dry. Avoid making any social plans the day of your treatment. Always keep your lip area clean and apply a moderate amount of aftercare ointment.

The swelling should completely subside after 4-6 hours. By day 3 or 4 yours lips will start to flake and peel. During this time, it is crucial to not pick and continue to moisturizing. Wash your lips with water or a fragrance-free cleanser then hydrate the area with ointment that will be provided to you.

I can properly shape the lips in a way that makes them look larger in the most believable way. This treatment leaves the lips looking fuller, more youthful and without the need of lipstick.

Six weeks after the final session is when you will see the final outcome.

Here are three important pre-treatment steps to remember for a lip blush procedure:

1) Clean and Hydrated Lips: Arrive with your lips clean and well-moisturized. This helps in achieving even color application.

2) Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol at least three days before your appointment to minimize any potential bleeding or swelling.

3) Cold Sore Prevention: If you have a history of cold sores, obtain a prescription for Valtrex and start taking it one day before your appointment to prevent outbreaks.

We will discuss aftercare during your appiontment and I will provide you will an ointment that you will take home.
