Congratulations on your lip blush! It is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure to enhance your natural lip color while creating the appearance of fuller lips. Lip blush is a non-invasive procedure which means you will feel the least discomfort during the process. However, proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and long-lasting results following any cosmetic procedure.
WHAT TO EXPECT RIGHT AFTER LIP BLUSH PROCEDURE:
Intensified color and swelling are common right after the procedure so do not freak out!
Your lips could look significantly darker and more vivid in the initial days than the intended outcome. This is quite normal since it takes time for the swelling to go down and the pigment to settle. Refrain from panicking and trust the process; your lips will eventually take on the desired, natural-looking tone. Keep the lips moisturized with a little Vaseline after the third day of the procedure. The true shade of your cosmetic tattoo will fade around 30-40% from what you walked out, revealing a soft and natural color.
