​
Lip Blush is an extremely popular treatment which enhances the natural shape of your lips, giving them that boost of vitality and colour by redefining the border and of the lip. By depositing pigment into skin it restores lost definition and colour. Lip blush can also correct medical asymmetry and even camouflage scars. The final result will resemble a subtle, natural toned lip which can be compared to a tinted lip balm effect.
Once the artist has mapped out the natural border of the lip and have client's approval, we select the desired colour and the pigment is blended and deposited into the skin with a very fine needle via a small hand held cosmetics tattoo device.

First we arrange a consultation appointment, this is an opportunity to go through all aspects of the treatment together, I'll answer any questions you have, run through aftercare and perform an essential patch test. At this appointment we book your actual treatment in.
​
On the day of you treatment I will run through your aftercare process again and we will book our essential top up appointment in (this is considered the second half of the treatment) and is done 6 weeks after the initial treatment. This is an opportunity to refill any areas of the lips which may have faded over this period and make any adjustments needed to she shape and colour.
