Lip blushing is a highly sought-after semipermanent cosmetic tattooing technique that aims to enhance the color, shape, and symmetry of the lips. This innovative procedure involves depositing pigments into the skin of the lips using a motorized pen equipped with a fine needle. The needle creates tiny pixels or dots on the skin, ensuring that the pigment blends seamlessly and avoids a harsh appearance.
Following the lip blushing treatment, it is common for the lips to experience temporary swelling, which typically subsides within 24 hours. It is advisable to refrain from applying any makeup to the treated area during this time and to protect the lips by applying a thin layer of Vaseline in the days following the procedure. This helps to maintain the integrity of the treated area and promotes optimal healing.
