LIP BLUSH STAFFORDSHIRE

Every effort is taken to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible throughout your treatment. Some tenderness is to be expected after the treatment so be cautious of hot drinks and spicy or salty foods. You are welcome to use a soft gel ice pack to soothe and soreness and swelling post treatment - please make sure that it is thoroughly cleaned before using.

A range of effects can be achieved with lip blush, wether you prefer something natural and understated, or something bright and bold. To achieve a natural result we recommend choosing a colour that has similar hue/undertones to your natural lip colour.

We have a range of colours available, ranging from very natural shades to something more bold. We advise you opt for something similar to your go-to everyday lip colour.

We cannot perform the treatment if you have an active cold sore, once this is fully healed it is safe to go ahead. If you have had a cold sore before (even if it was once many years ago) you will need to take a course of anti-cold sore meds before your treatment to prevent an outbreak.

Of course, as long as it has been over two weeks since you had your filler done then you are perfectly safe to get your lip tattoo - actually the two lip treatments go together really well!

We only work on the lip tissue, however sometimes we loose pigment at the border of our lips which can make our lips appear smaller. By replacing that lost pigment it can help your lips to appear fuller. The only time we would ever work outside of the lip tissue and onto the normal skin is when performing cleft lip reconstruction, or if you are someone who has severe asymmetry.

Absolutely! I recommend you opt for a natural colour when it comes to your lip blush, this will give you a beautiful base lip colour for every day wear. If you fancy something brighter or more bold, you always have the option of wearing regular lipstick on top of your lip blush.

For clients who have hyperpigmentation or melanin rich lips, we typically advise lip neutralisation which involves implanting a carefully selected colour to counteract any cool tones in the lips. For example, lips with a purple undertone would benefit from a yellow based pigment, whereas blue undertones would suit an orange based pigment. Once the cool tones have been lifted, other colours can be introduced to achieve a pinker lip.

Lip neutralisation typically requires more sessions and a longer healing time as the colour of the lip can continue to change for 8-10 weeks following the treatment.

I usually allow 2.5 hours for a lip blush appointment, this includes time for us to discuss your goals, select a colour, map your lip shape and finally carry out the treatment. After 5/6 weeks you'll return for a top up where we can assess how you healed and make any tweaks to the colour if necessary - this usually takes about 1.5 hours.

Yes, the healing process usually takes 10-14 days for most people. Initially the colour will be bold, and the lips may swell and feel tender. After a few days they will begin to feel dry and the skin will peel. You'll be given aftercare products to use whilst you heal which will help alleviate the dryness. It's important you don't apply any makeup, lips balm, gloss, vaseline or other products to the area as this could cause an infection.
