LIP BLUSH
Lip blush is the newest semi-permanent trend that enhances the natural lip shape with a boost of symmetry and color. It is an extremely popular treatment that defines lip contours and adds a natural flush to your lip color. This treatment delivers very natural results once healed.
Pigments are available in all different shades to match all lips to provide a subtle color that enhances the natural lip color and camouflages scars, paleness or unevenness.
Our goal at Séduire Salon is to provide all our clients with the utmost natural outcome. Our signature technique uses a small needle and works softly on the lips to gently deposit color without creating a heavy lip-line /border appearance. Colors are chosen for the client's desired results and skin tones,
How Long Does Lip Blush Last?
Lip blushing can last between two to three years depending on the client's body, skin type and lifestyle. Smoking and sun exposure can speed up the fading process, and if you’re oil-prone, have an iron deficiency or use a lot of exfoliating products in your skin regimen, the pigment could fade more quickly, too.
Lip Blushing requires two sessions for the desired color and results. During the first session, the main goal is to neutralize the lips so it is even in color. During the second session, another layer of color is added for color results and longevity.

-
NO Lip fillers 3 weeks prior to the procedure.

If you are prone to or suffer from cold sores, you need to take an antiviral cold sore medication or a supplement of Lysine. Take this at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment and continue to take it until you are done healing. Without taking this precaution, the procedure will cause a flare up.
Why Do I Need
A Second Session?
During your 2nd session, our artist will not only go over any areas that faded, but the entire lip as well to ensure longevity. By doing this, you won't need to come in as frequently for touch-ups.
For new members to Lip Blushing, it will take 2 sessions to complete your desired lip color and ensure longevity. For Example: When applying nail polish, you need least 2-3 coats to achieve a solid color.
When should I book it?
You may book your 2nd Session 6-8 weeks after your 1st session appointment.
Please note: Booking your second session after the 12 week timeframe may result in additional charges due to extra work that may be needed. It is your responsibility to schedule your second session appointment.
After my 2nd session, when will I need another touch up?
If you want to keep your lips maintained, you will be required to come back every 12-18 months from your last appointment. If you decide not to proceed with a touch-up, your lips will last around 2 years and will eventually fade away. Longevity will vary per lifestyle and skin type.

AFTER - CARE
The mouth is a breeding ground for bacteria, which means there is high risk of infection when getting the lip blush procedure done. Avoid eating & drinking for at least 5 hours after your appointment. Do not drink tap water.
-
Rinse your mouth with antiseptic mouthwash at least 4 times a day until you are done healing. Be sure to rinse after eating/drinking.
-
Do not eat spicy, oily, acidic or greasy foods. Do not stretch lips to take large bites.
-
Once shedding begins, do not pick, peel or pull the skin.
-
Do not use saline water as it will cause ink to be pulled from the skin.
-
Apply ointment several times a day for 10 days to keep lips moisturized. Do not rub- dab.
-
Avoid getting lips wet. Apply the ointment before brushing teeth.
-
Do not use any soaps/chemicals on your lips. Be careful when washing your face. Use a washcloth to better control any liquid substance.
-
Use a minimal amount of non-whitening toothpaste. Use a straw when swishing water.
-
Do not expose lips to direct sunlight/tanning beds. Since this is new skin, it’s prone to sunburn, which could change the color and cause scarring.

Keep your hands clean and avoid touching your lips until they are done healing.
