Subtly Enhance the Color and Shape of Your Lips

Lip blushing is a form of semi-permanent makeup. It subtly enhances the color and shape of your lips, giving them a fuller, healthier appearance. Lip blushing is essentially a cosmetic tattoo for your lips. The procedure is similar to getting permanent eyeliner.

What Are the Benefits of Lip Blushing?

Lip blushing not only subtly enhances your natural lip color, it also gives your lips more definition and creates the illusion of more fullness. It’s an easy, affordable way to achieve a more perfect pout.

Lip blushing can reduce the amount of time you spend on your makeup routine—all you need is a clear gloss to make the color pop. Diet and lifestyle won’t change your lip shape, color, or fullness. Lip blushing is a great way to boost your confidence and achieve fuller-looking lips without dermal injections or fillers.

What to Expect

Lip Blushing Procedure

Lip blushing usually takes from 1 to 3 hours. The technician will start by applying a topical anesthetic to numb your lips, which takes 15-20 minutes to take effect. Once your lips are numb, the technician will start the procedure by outlining your lips and then filling them in with your chosen color. The technician uses a device similar to a tattoo pen with a tiny mechanized needle that deposits the pigment into your lips. Lip blushing can help add pigment, even out the tone of the lips, and even correct asymmetry.

Additional Information

Your lips may look darker than you expect after your initial treatment. This is normal and will fade to a more natural hue. It’s not uncommon to develop some scabbing after treatment. Don’t pick at scabs or dry skin. This will help you avoid disrupting the color.

Taking good care of your lips after treatment will help the healing process and give you longer-lasting results. Soothe your lips with a tattoo aftercare ointment, avoid excessive sun exposure, and keep your lips as dry as possible for 30 days after lip blushing. The team at Aesthetic Surgery Institute will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions.
