Lip blushing may cause a flare-up of cold sores/fever blisters, especially in those who have had them in the past. If you're prone to cold sores, start taking your antiviral medication or applying a topical cream if you feel or see it’s coming out on your lips.
Cold sores can affect healed results — the pigment will likely not retain in the area where the cold sore appears.

To see results after the first session, you need to wait 30 days

After the first session, the implanted color may look very soft or barely visible. After the touch-up, the color will become more visible and vibrant.

Permanent makeup is usually a two-step process (in some cases, a third session may be needed), not a one-time treatment. After the initial procedure, the pigment will appear lighter as it heals. The color becomes more defined and enhanced after the touch-up.
Touch-ups are done within a 4–7 week window, but not earlier than 4 weeks.
Touch-ups performed after 8 weeks will be subject to a higher fee depending on the amount of work required and time that has passed.

DARK LIPS CLIENTS
If you have naturally dark lips, your treatment plan is different from a standard lip blush procedure.
Here’s what you need to know:

• Sessions needed: 2–4
• Waiting time between sessions: 4–6 months
• Return for refresh: Every 3–5 years to keep the color fresh
• After 4 months, please send a photo of your lips so I can see if you’re ready for your next session

HEALING INFO
➡️ For the first 2–3 weeks, lips may appear darker due to irritation and how pigment settles initially. This is normal and temporary.
➡️ Around week 4, the color will begin to surface as the initial darkness fades. The color may appear patchy or uneven during this stage.
➡️ Between weeks 6–12, the color will continue to brighten.
➡️ Clients with darker lips may not see full saturation until 4–6 months post-procedure.
