Get answers to common questions about (Special) Lip Blush + Touchup.

Most clients enjoy results for 12 to 24 months, influenced by skin type, sun exposure and lifestyle. The included touch-up ensures optimal pigment settlement; periodic refreshers every 12–18 months help maintain color intensity and keep lips looking freshly enhanced.

Topical numbing is applied and most people report only mild pressure or tingling. Sensation varies but discomfort is brief; aftercare minimizes sensitivity. We prioritize gentle technique and can adjust anesthetic levels to ensure your treatment is tolerable and calm.

Initial color appears darker and lips may feel tender for a few days. Light scabbing and flaking occur as pigment settles; full healing and true color reveal take approximately four to six weeks. Follow aftercare to ensure even, long-lasting results.

Yes. Shade selection is part of your consultation. We custom-blend pigments to complement your skin tone and preferred makeup look. Bring reference lipsticks or photos. We start conservatively so the healed result matches expectations, and the touch-up refines the final shade.

Ideal candidates want subtle, natural color and improved definition without invasive surgery. Those with healthy skin, no active infections, and realistic expectations typically benefit most. Pregnant clients, uncontrolled medical conditions, or active cold sores may require deferment or medical clearance.

Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen and blood-thinning supplements 48 hours prior. Skip lip exfoliation or waxing, and postpone treatment if you have an active cold sore. Arrive makeup-free, hydrated, and ready to discuss medical history and desired lip shape.
