Experience the Power of Permanent Lip Makeup

In order to prepare for the treatment, avoid taking the following medicines, substances and vitamins since they cause your blood to thin:

Aspirin

Ibuprofen

Alcoholic beverages

Caffeine (coffee and tea)

Retinol-based products

It is also vital to take anti-viral medication before your procedure if you’re prone to cold sores. They can appear due to the needles treatment and negatively affect the healing process.

What Does Lip Blush Aftercare Entail?

Your lips will be swollen and dark after the procedure. The aftercare period lasts 5-7 days, during which you should do the following things:

Use Vaseline, balm or coconut oil to nourish your lips.

Gently clean them with a cotton pad and a little bit of water after every meal.

Don’t wear makeup on the lips for a week.

Avoid spicy food. It is also recommended to take beverages on a straw.

Do not rub, scratch and peel the area.

Don’t expose your lips to the sun, hot tubs, tanning beds, saunas, swimming pools.

Can I Wear Makeup After the Permanent Lipstick Treatment?

Under no circumstances should you wear lipstick immediately after the treatment. You must wait until the healing period is over. Once your lips are not swollen anymore and all the scabs have fallen off, you can wear lipstick. Also, it is desirable not to wear any makeup in order to avoid it reaching the treated area and infecting it.

Be patient for at least a week and after that, you are free to apply makeup.

How Long Does the Healing Period Last?

The healing period lasts around one week. Your lips will be swollen at first and some scabbing will be involved. Also, the color will look too intense, but 50% of it will fade during the first week. It takes a little bit longer for the color to settle. During this period, you should religiously follow the tips your artist gave you, in order to avoid any discomfort during healing.

Permanent lip blush is a procedure that requires touch-ups in order to last longer. However, they are not mandatory. The first one should be done 4-8 weeks after the initial treatment. After the color has settled, there might be some spots that need filling and imperfections to be corrected. This is highly reccomended but not included oe required.

The frequency of touch ups depends on your skin type and your lifestyle. Annual touch-ups are recommended if you want to maintain the color as long as possible. Also, you can change the shade of your permanent lipstick at the touch-up appointment.

Also, people whose skin is very often exposed to the sun and water might need to retouch their lip tattoo more often. The color on these types of skin is prone to faster fading.

Anyone who likes wearing lipstick but doesn’t like the hassle of applying it several times a day. Also, women who want to add some volume to their lips. Lip tattoo won’t do as much as lip fillers, but it will definitely make your lips look more plump.

Permanent lipstick is also great for uneven lips. It will hide the defect and make them look more symmetrical.

You should avoid or reconsider lip tattoo if you:

Are pregnant or nursing

Have hyperpigmentation

Use medicines that are known to be blood thinners

Have diabetes

Have psoriasis in the treated area

Have an auto-immune disease

You have anemia (pigment may not retain properly)

Have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring

Are undergoing chemotherapy

You should discuss with your artist which shade and color fit you best. You will take your skin tone and your personal preferences into consideration. Bring your favorite lipstick if you’d like!

In general, it should be a neutral color, similar to the color of your favorite lipstick. You should be able to apply a lipstick later in order to enhance or change the color of your lips. The most popular shade is soft pink.

Lip Blush is a semi permanent treatment which involves inserting pigments beneath the first layer of the skin of your lips. It is also known as the lip tattoo, even though tattoo ink is rarely used anymore. Pigments are used instead and the result is more natural, a powdery look of your lips.

This treatment is a perfect solution for those who like wearing lipstick but don’t want to worry about it coming off every time they eat or drink something. Also, lip tattoo gives your lips fuller, makeup look and it is great for those who want to cover up their uneven lips.

Since no tattoo ink is used anymore, permanent lipstick does not last forever and it requires a touch up after some time. The color will fade away after some time and that is why it is more correct to say that it is a semi-permanent procedure.

Permanent lipstick is a safe procedure, if you choose a good artist and a good salon. A professional artist must use sterile equipment, disposable needles, and know their job. The artist must be aware of any skin conditions you might suffer from and warn you about side effects.

If you don’t break the aftercare rules and if you look after your lip tattoo carefully after the treatment, there is no need to worry.

Luckily, side effects are only short-termed and they usually involve:

Redness

Swelling

Peeling and scabs

Scaring (not very common)

This should all disappear within a week.

Lip area is very sensitive and it really sounds painful when you think about the fact that it is treated with a needle for an hour. However, a numbing cream is applied beforehand, in order to eliminate the pain. It is slightly uncomfortable.

One of the factors that affect the durability of lip blush is your skin type. People with oily skin will need frequent touch-ups in order to maintain the color.

Your lifestyle plays an important part, too. If you do a sport where you sweat or swim a lot, it is more likely that your tattooed lips will start losing its color faster.

The way you treat your semi permanent lipstick will also affect its longevity. If you have frequent touch-ups, it will naturally last longer.

The treatment usually lasts 1-2 hours. It depends on the type of your skin. Some people are better candidates for lip tattoo, and the pigment is applied easily, while others don’t take the color so well. In that case, more pigment needs to be applied to those areas.

Lip Blush is semi permanent, so it lasts for 3 to 5 years, after which the color will fade. This is because pigment, not tattoo ink, is used. Also, lips are a very exposed area, which affects fading. However, if you have regular touch-ups you can prolong your permanent lipstick.
