Lip Blush, Lip Neutralization, INFO + FAQs
How long does lip blushing/neutralization last?
Lip micropigmentation can last between two to three years depending on the client's body, skin type and lifestyle. Smoking and sun exposure can speed up the fading process, and if you’re oil-prone, have an iron deficiency or use a lot of exfoliating products in your skin regimen, the fading will happen faster.

Lip procedures require two sessions for the desired color and results.
During the first session, the main goal is to neutralize the lips so it is even in color.
During the second session, another layer of color is added for color results and longevity.

- No epilepsy
- No pacemakers, stents or valve replacements, or other heart conditions

- No skin irritations or psoriasis near the treatment areas, such as but not limited to rashes, sunburn, acne, injury, etc.
- No current bacterial or viral infection illnesses such as colds, covid-19, flus, etc.
- No Botox or other neuromodulators within the last month

- Before Your Procedure
PRE-CARE NOTES
ALL clients prone to cold sores must start a round of anti-viral medication a week prior to appointment. It must be taken until after procedure, when healing is complete.

- 6 WEEKS BEFORE:
- 1 MONTH BEFORE:
- 48 HOURS BEFORE:
Exfoliate your lips with a damp towel after the shower and moisturize with Aquaphor.- MENSTRUAL CYCLE:
- SKIN CONDITIONS:
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PRE-CARE INSTRUCTIONS MAY AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF YOUR FINAL RESULTS. - After Your Procedure
POST-CARE NOTES
The mouth is a breeding ground for bacteria, so there is higher risk of infection when having a lip procedure done. Avoid eating & drinking for at least 5 hours after your appointment. Do not drink tap water.- Rinse your mouth with antiseptic mouthwash at least 2x times a day until you are done healing. Be sure to rinse after eating/drinking.
- Do not eat spicy, oily, acidic or greasy foods. Do not stretch lips to take large bites.
- Once shedding begins, do not pick, peel or pull the skin.
- Do not use saline water as it will cause ink to be pulled from the skin.
- Apply ointment several times a day for 10 days to keep lips moisturized AT ALL TIMES. Do not rub-dab.
- Avoid getting lips wet. Apply the ointment before brushing teeth.
- Do not use any soaps/chemicals on your lips. Be careful when washing your face. Use a washcloth to better control any liquid substance.
- Use a minimal amount of non-whitening toothpaste. Use a straw when swishing water.
- Do not expose lips to direct sunlight/tanning beds. Since this is new skin, it’s prone to sunburn, which could change the color and cause scarring.
- Do not smoke or kiss for at least 10 days.
- Keep your hands clean and avoid touching your lips until they are done healing.
