Lip Blush

This is a semi-permanent treatment that naturally enhances and or corrects the definition, colour and fullness of the lips. Lip Blushing is offered in various shades and densities of trusted and safe pigments to suit the desired look, to compliment your natural complexion. Our trained and experienced technicians use a handheld machine and lightly implant pigments into the lip using a needle.

We are experienced in Lip lightening and Lip Neutralising for darker lips using the same technique with specific colour correcting pigments. Depending on the darkness of the lip and preferred result neutralising can take 2-3 sessions a minimum of 12 weeks apart to achieve best result.

The 2.5 hour up to 3 hour process is to evaluate, discuss and choose desired shades. Thereafter you are numbed with topical anesthetic. Then we mark and draw the lip, checking and adjusting the shape before gently implanting pigments to the lips. For your comfort, we numb throughout the procedure. The results can last approximately 1-3 years after touch-up fading in density over time.
