What is PMU Lip Blush?

PMU Lip Blush is a semi-permanent makeup technique that enhances and defines the natural shape and color of your lips. It can also help conceal lip imperfections and create balanced symmetry.

Is lip blush suitable for me?

Lip blush might be the right choice if:

1. You have naturally pale lips.
2. You wish to redefine your lip contours.
3. You desire a fuller lip appearance without using fillers.

How is the Lip Blush service performed?

This procedure involves using a PMU (Permanent Makeup) machine and specialized pigment. It results in a subtle, matte, natural-toned tint effect on the lips. It’s important to note that Lip Blushing won’t provide a solid lipstick-like appearance but rather a tinted effect.

How long does the procedure take?

The initial Lip Blush procedure typically lasts about 2 to 2.5 hours, while the 6-week touch-up takes approximately 1.5 hours.

How long will Lip Blush last?

The longevity of your Lip Blush can range from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like your skin type, lifestyle, and lip care routine.

What will I look like immediately after the procedure?

You can expect some swelling in the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. While the swelling diminishes fairly quickly, it’s advisable to take it easy for 48 hours to be on the safe side. Initially, the color may appear bright or dark, but it will gradually scab and lighten.

What can I expect after the treatment?

During the healing process, a thin film (not a scab) may appear. It will start peeling naturally around day 3 and may not exfoliate evenly. Keep your lips clean and moisturized to avoid complications. Avoid picking at the film, as it can lead to irritation and unevenness. The color will fade by 50-60% during the initial healing.

Are there any pre-care instructions?

If you’re prone to cold sores, consider taking Valtrex or Lysine before the procedure to prevent outbreaks. Avoid certain medications like aspirin, niacin, vitamin E, vitamin C, and Advil/Ibuprofen 48 hours before the procedure. Sun exposure and tanning should be avoided one week prior.

What are the post-care instructions?

• Apply the provided ointment frequently for a week to prevent excessive drying.
• Avoid hot drinks, hot food, saunas, pools, and hot showers/baths for at least 5 days.
• You can get your lips wet (i.e. when washing your face/mouth) but avoid hot water near the lip area.
• No strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-procedure.
• Wait 4 weeks before getting lip fillers.
• Avoid scrubbing, scratching, or picking at the tattooed area.
• No facials or masks around the lip area for 15 days, and avoid them indefinitely.
• Don’t use petroleum-based products, anti-acne products, or products containing certain acids while healing.
