If you've spent any time on social media in the last five years, you'll notice that the lips have it. Lip injections were once an unspoken topic of conversation. (Though, to be fair, most cosmetic changes were kept under wraps until the internet beauty renaissance.) There are now over 1.6 million hashtags on Instagram dedicated to lip injections and lip fillers, and Google searches for "lip injections near me" have risen steadily since 2014. People openly discuss their injectors. In a nutshell, a filler is critical to the non-invasive aesthetics industry's lip service.
There are various options for enlarging your lip real estate, including tattooing, from injecting filler directly into the lips to putting filler under the bottom lip to make what you already have look more pronounced. Permanent cosmetics have been around for decades, so it's not a new service, but the days of the stark, fade-to-blue lip liner tattoos are long gone. Lip blushing is a tattoo that not only corrects the color of your lips but also enhances their shape and size.
What is Lip Blushing?
Once cured, this therapy produces very natural results. Lip fillers are fantastic for adding volume to your lips, but lip blush gives you a more natural look and the illusion of bigger lips.
Is Lip Blushing Permanent or Not?
A small automated needle inserts pigment into the lips, resulting in many layers of color. It can be a remedial service to help even out the tone of the lips, as well as help with asymmetry, according to Son. Depending on where you live, the service can cost anything from $500 to $1500 per appointment.
Lip blushing, unlike standard permanent cosmetic tattoos, is a more advanced procedure that produces natural-looking, long-lasting effects.
A tattoo on the lips seems uncomfortable, especially for someone looking for a non-invasive alternative to filler injections. If you're concerned about your pain tolerance, take a pain medication like Tylenol before the visit; however, avoid aspirin and ibuprofen, as they thin the blood and increase sensitivity.
Things to Expect From Your Appointment
So, what happens during a meeting? Then there's pout preparation. For 20 minutes, a topical anesthetic is used to pre-numb the lips. The technician will then design the form of the "new" lips for you to inspect and make any necessary revisions.
Depending on the aesthetic you want, the treatment can take anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half, if not longer. Because your lips may be puffy after the appointment—it is, after all, a tattoo—you can ice them if necessary. Your lips will begin to mend over the next week, which means they may scab, so it's critical to plan ahead of time.
Picking scabs can result in scarring or loss of pigment in particular places, thus it's crucial that they fall off naturally.
The color will be really vivid at first, almost like a lip stain. It's crucial not to be fooled by the instantaneous 'after' outcomes. The immediate results are nothing like what the lips would look like after they have healed. After healing, the color diminishes by about 30% to 50% and blends in with the natural lip color.
How to Locate a Qualified Technician
It's critical to ask the correct questions and not make conclusions based on social media while looking for a certified professional. Always inquire about the technician's experience with semi-permanent makeup operations; the longer the better.
