Lip blushing is a form of semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances the lips' natural tint and shape, giving them a boost and a glossy touch. It's designed to define and outline your lips, not to actually make them fuller. It gives the illusion that they're fuller, but in a very natural way.

TO BEGIN YOUR PROCESS

The whole prodedure is a two-step process. and it consists of the initial insertion of the pigment, and the touch-up Enhancement Session 6-8 weeks after your initial procedure.

The discomfort is different for everyone and is due to each individual's level of sensitivity. Topical anesthetic is applied for numbing during the procedure and every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

Typically, many clients say that it is no more painful than tweezing or threading.

Having this service when on your menstrual cycle may increase discomfort

If you are a frequent smoker, the topical anesthetics used during the treatment may not last as long and may also lead to poor pigment retention. If you have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, be aware that this may affect your sensitivity tolbrance to the procedure

It is normal to experience minimal swelling and tenderness immediately following your procedure. This usually subsides within and hour or two. The first few days following your procedure the pigment will appear much darker than how it will appear once it has peeled and healed. Around week 2, the skin naturally exfoliates and sheds. During weeks 4-8 when the skin completes healing, you will see the pigment become more visible. A Touch-Up session will be scheduled approximately 4-6 weeks after your initial appointment in order to achieve the desired colour and the shape.

Even though the client will have all of their questions answered on the first consultation with the artist, there are certain preexisting conditions that can affect the final outlook:

• • • People with diabetes.
    • People with serious diseases such as cancer, epilepsy or autoimmune disorders.
    • People with any bleeding disorders.
    • People who take blood thinning medications.
    • People who've recently had Botox injections or fillers.
    • Pregnant women or women who are nursing.
    • People with a history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring.
    • People with viral infections or diseases.
    • People who are going through chemotherapy.
    • People with skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area.
    • Recently tanned people.

These are the things that you should bear in mind before the treatment:

Make sure that you're completely healthy. Before the procedure starts, you will need to complete a medical history form (we provide it).

Do not drink caffeine or alcohol at least 48 hours prior to the procedure.

Do not take any blood thinners such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, B6, Omega 3, or evening Primrose at least 1 week before your procedure. Of course, if this is medically necessary, you might want to consider changing the date of your ombre powder brows procedure.

Pay attention to your menstrual cycle, as you shouldn't book a treatment during that time, as it can increase your pain sensitivity.

Avoid any anti-aging treatments, such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, lasers or facials at least 2 weeks before your appointment.

Avoid SUN and TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE and AFTER your procedure.

NO Botox for 2 months prior to Powder Ombre Brows, and NO Botox 4 weeks after Powder Ombre Client After Care Instruction.

• • • No make-up application on the brows or lips.
    • No sun tanning, swimming or excessing sweating.
    • No soap, moisturizer(only Vaselines for lips) , makeup, creams or sunscreen on the brow/lips area.

Do not rub or pick at the dry flaky skin/scab,

FOR BROWS: Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor healing cream if it feels itchy or if the scraps look really dry and flaky. Very small amount.

It is very important that you do not get the brow area wet for the next 7-10 days as it heals. A minor splash of water is fine, but prolonged exposure to water is not allowed. Do not rub brows to dry them, please gently pat dry.

FOR LIPS: Use a lot of lip balm to keep your lips moisturized.

Plan a follow up appointment with your permanent makeup artist.

DON'T Pick your scabs. Never! Also, avoid sun exposure and workouts for around 2 weeks. Do not eat spicy food in the 48 hours following the session.
