Lip Blush

On the day of the procedure, your lips are cleaned and numbed to minimise discomfort. The technician then outlines your lips with a pencil to ensure precision and symmetry before using a fine needle or micro-pigmentation device to deposit custom-blended pigments into the lips. This is done through a series of tiny, controlled punctures to layer and blend the pigment for a natural look. After the application, the technician provides aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing, which typically takes 5-10 days. A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled to assess the results and make any necessary touch-ups, ensuring long-lasting, beautiful lip colour.

The lip blush procedure typically takes about 2 to 3 hours from start to finish. This includes time for the initial consultation, where you discuss your desired color and shape, and the application process itself, which involves cleaning, numbing, outlining, and applying the pigment. After the application, the technician will take some time to make any necessary adjustments and provide aftercare instructions. It’s important to allow this time to ensure that every detail is perfect, resulting in beautiful, long-lasting lips.

Lip blush typically lasts between 1 to 3 years, depending on various factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Over time, the pigment will naturally fade due to factors like sun exposure, skin cell turnover, and daily activities. To maintain the vibrancy of the color, many people choose to schedule touch-up appointments every 6 to 12 months. This allows you to refresh the color and keep your lips looking their best while enjoying the long-lasting benefits of the treatment.

A lip blush procedure is generally not very painful, thanks to the numbing cream applied beforehand. Most clients report feeling only mild discomfort during the treatment, which is often described as a slight scratching or tingling sensation rather than significant pain. The technician takes care to work gently and efficiently, minimizing any discomfort.

After the procedure, some swelling and sensitivity may occur, but this usually subsides within a few days. Overall, while everyone’s pain tolerance is different, most people find the experience manageable and worth the beautiful results.

Yes, there can be side effects from lip blush, but they are usually mild and temporary. Common effects include swelling, redness, and tenderness of the lips, which typically fade within a few days. Some may experience peeling or dryness during healing. Rarely, allergic reactions to the pigment or infections can occur, especially if aftercare instructions aren’t followed.

However, working with a qualified technician, such as Amelia, significantly reduces these risks, as they use safe practices and materials. Overall, most side effects are manageable, allowing you to enjoy your results without major issues.

Most people are suitable candidates for lip blush, especially those looking to enhance their lips' natural colour and shape. However, if you have active infections, cold sores, or specific skin conditions, you should consult a qualified technician or healthcare provider first. Pregnant or nursing individuals will also be advised to wait. It’s essential to discuss your individual needs during the consultation to determine if lip blush is right for you.

Choosing between Lip Blush, Lip Flip, or Lip Filler depends on your desired result and lip concerns:

Lip Blush: Perfect for those looking to enhance the natural colour and shape of their lips. Lip blush adds subtle pigmentation to your lips, giving them a soft, tinted look, and can also correct uneven tones. This technique works best for people who want a natural, flushed appearance with enhanced definition, making it ideal for those who have pale or unevenly coloured lips.

Lip Flip: Best for those seeking a more defined pout without adding volume. The lip flip uses Botox or a similar neurotoxin to relax the muscles around the lip line, causing the top lip to slightly roll outward, creating the appearance of a fuller upper lip. This is great for people who don’t want the added volume of lip filler but still want a more noticeable lip shape.

Lip Filler: Ideal for those who want more volume and a fuller lip shape. Lip filler adds fullness to both the upper and lower lips, providing a more plump and defined appearance. This option is perfect for people with thinner lips who want a more dramatic enhancement, or those looking to correct asymmetry or loss of volume over time.

In summary, for a natural tint and enhanced definition, Lip Blush is the way to go. If you want fuller lips without the volume, a Lip Flip will give you a subtle boost. For those desiring more volume and definition, Lip Filler provides the most noticeable change. Please note at Amelia Studio, we only offer Lip Blush.
