How Do You Choose a Shade?

Your technician will work with you to choose a customized lip blushing shade that complements your lifestyle and skin tone. Your options are virtually unlimited, from a subtle, barely-there color to a more dramatic hue. We recommend starting with a more subtle shade, since you can always have the color darkened later.

How Long Does It Last?

Lip blushing and permanent lipliner lasts around 1-2 years before you should need retouching. You may need a second visit sooner, though, to perfect the color. Long-lasting lip blushing can last as long as 3-5 years.

Does It Hurt?

Many people report no discomfort at all. The technician will apply a topical numbing cream, which is usually very effective at reducing or eliminating any pain. The procedure takes between an hour and 90 minutes, and it usually takes 4-5 days to heal completely.

Who Is a Candidate for Lip Blushing?

Women (or men) in good health can have lip blushing. It’s a good alternative to lip fillers, especially for those who want to add subtle fullness.

People with lighter lips are ideal candidates. Those with darker skin have a higher risk of hyperpigmentation. The team at Aesthetic Surgery Institute will discuss whether you’re a good candidate and recommend complementary procedures, based on your aesthetic goals.
