IMPORTANT: For anyone who is prone to cold sores, we strongly advise you get a prescription for Valtrex or Zovirax ahead of your lip blushing appointment, and that you take a dose prior to, and post- procedure.
What is Lip Blushing?
Lip blushing gives the appearance of fuller, natural lips while correcting asymmetries and restoring colour back to areas of the lip that have lost colour and definition.
This procedure helps restore colour, and lend a more youthful appearance to lips of all shapes and ages.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
As with all PMU procedures, the lip blushing procedure requires a follow-up session 4-6 weeks after the initial appointment to obtain optimal density of pigment implantation and to achieve the longest-lasting results. Results of lip blushing can last 1-3 years depending on how quickly you fade (this varies from person to person), and how well you maintain them.
What Is The Healing Process?
While post-procedure healing may be slightly different for everyone, it generally takes 4-6 weeks. Ordinarily, within a few days after the procedure, your lips will feel dry and potentially chapped, and the colour will appear more intense. Don’t panic, this is typical! As you heal after the initial appointment, the colour will fade significantly (up to 50%), but it can regenerate after full healing has taken place. It will show its more permanent result post-healing after the follow-up appointment. While healing, it is imperative to keep your lips lubricated with the balm provided to you.
