Lip Blush at Kristi PMU and Wax

Lip blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique designed to enhance the natural colour and shape of your lips. Using a specialised PMU machine and fine needles, that delicately deposit soft, custom-blended pigments into the superficial layers of the lip tissue. This process creates a subtle, airbrushed effect, mimicking the look of a natural lip tint or a beautifully applied lipstick. Lip blush adds a youthful flush of colour and defines the lip line, addressing asymmetry or fading.

Your lip blush journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we'll discuss your aesthetic goals and desired lip colour and shape. We'll carefully assess your natural lip tone, considering undertones and existing pigmentation, to ensure the chosen pigment harmonises beautifully with your complexion. We'll also analyse your lip shape, identifying any areas for enhancement or correction. To visualise the potential outcome, we may pre-draw directly on your lips with pigment, allowing you to see how the chosen colour and shape will look. This collaborative process ensures your vision is fully understood, and we'll create a bespoke plan, outlining the precise pigment blend, technique, and lip shape design to achieve your ideal, personalised lip blush results.

The lip blush process commences with meticulous preparation of the lip area to ensure cleanliness and readiness for pigment application. A high-grade topical numbing agent is applied to minimise discomfort. Once the area is adequately numb, we carefully pre-draw the desired lip shape and outline. This crucial step allows you to visualise the final result and ensures symmetry and balance before proceeding with the pigment application. Following your approval of the pre-drawn design, we employ a specialised cosmetic tattooing machine with ultra-fine needles for precise and controlled pigment deposition, creating the desired soft, gradient effect. We carefully layer the chosen pigment, gradually building the colour to achieve the perfect intensity and saturation. The entire process typically spans a few hours, during which we prioritise your comfort and strive for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

To ensure the longevity, and overall perfection of your lip blush, top-up appointments are highly recommended. These appointments, typically scheduled 6-8 weeks after your initial procedure, are crucial for refining the colour and addressing any uneven healing. During the top-up, we'll assess the pigment retention and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the desired intensity and saturation. We can also refine the lip line and shape, ensuring a crisp and defined look. Regular top-ups, scheduled every 12-18 months, will help keep your lip blush looking fresh.

Proper aftercare is essential for achieving optimal colour retention, preventing complications, and ensuring your lip blush heals beautifully. We'll provide you with a comprehensive aftercare regimen, tailored to your specific needs and skin type. Immediately following the procedure, you may experience some minor swelling and tenderness, which is normal. We recommend applying a thin layer of the provided healing balm or ointment to keep your lips moisturised and protected. Avoid touching or picking at any scabs or flaking, and refrain from smoking, consuming hot, spicy, or acidic foods and drinks, swimming, saunas, and excessive sweating for the first few days. Protect your lips from sun exposure by applying a gentle, fragrance-free SPF lip balm once they are fully healed. Following these detailed aftercare instructions diligently will ensure your lip blush heals evenly, retains its vibrant colour, and leaves you with beautifully enhanced lips."
