Most clients describe it as mild discomfort — like light scratches or plucking. We apply a topical numbing cream before and during the session to keep you comfortable throughout.

• Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen) for 24 hours before

• Skip retinol, exfoliants, and self-tanners for one week

• Do not wax or tint your brows for two weeks

• Arrive with clean skin and no makeup on the treatment area

Days 1–3 the area looks bold and fresh. Days 4–7 it scabs and lightly flakes. Days 8–14 the color “ghosts” — appears very faded — as your skin heals over the pigment. Weeks 4–6 the true color settles. See the full Brows and Lip Blush aftercare instructions below for complete day-by-day care.

Your first touch-up is recommended 6–8 weeks after your initial session — this is included to perfect the shape and color. After that, most clients touch up every 12–18 months.

Most healthy adults 18+ are candidates. Please book a consultation first if you are:

• Managing a bleeding disorder or on regular blood thinners

• Dealing with active skin conditions on the area (eczema, psoriasis, acne breakout)

• Recently had botox in the treatment area (within the last 4 weeks)

Lip blush typically lasts 2-5 years, longer than microblading or nano brows, because lips regenerate more evenly over time. Most clients schedule a touch-up around the 12-18 month mark to keep the color vibrant. Results vary based on skin type, sun exposure, and how closely you follow aftercare.

Your appointment starts with a consultation to map your ideal brow or lip shape based on your face and preferences. We apply a topical numbing cream before beginning so the treatment stays comfortable throughout. Using a handheld tool (microblading/nano brows) or fine-needle technique (lip blush), pigment is deposited into the upper layers of skin in thin strokes or soft shading. Most sessions run 2-3 hours including numbing and mapping. You’ll leave with bolder, fresh color that softens over the following weeks as it heals - see our Aftercare Guide for the full healing timeline.

DAYS 1–3 (Fresh & Bold): Gently blot the brows with a damp lint-free cloth every 1–2 hours on Day 1 to lift any lymph fluid. Apply a rice-grain amount of the provided balm 2–3 times per day. Do NOT touch, scratch, wet, soak, or pick. Sleep on your back if possible. No makeup on or around the brows.

DAYS 4–7 (Scabbing & Flaking): The brows will feel itchy and start to flake — this is normal. Do NOT pick or peel; let the flakes fall off on their own. Continue balm as directed. Avoid sweating, gym, sauna, pools, and the ocean.

DAYS 8–14 (The “Ghosting” Stage): Color may look very faded — this is expected. Your skin is regenerating over the pigment. Full color will return as skin finishes healing. Keep the area clean and lightly moisturized.

WEEKS 4–6 (Fully Healed): Time to schedule your included touch-up (recommended within 6–8 weeks for best long-term results).

DAYS 1–3: Apply the provided ointment every 1–2 hours to keep lips moist. Blot gently with clean tissue if the lips ooze lymph. Drink through a straw. Eat cool, soft foods. Avoid spicy, salty, acidic, or hot foods.

DAYS 4–7: Lips will peel — do NOT pull the flakes; let them shed naturally. Color may look uneven while healing — this evens out. No lipstick, gloss, or lip filler.

DAYS 8–14: Color softens and the true tone emerges. Keep lips hydrated with an SPF lip balm.

WEEKS 4–6: Final color settles. Schedule your touch-up for optimal results.

DO: Follow the ointment schedule. Sleep on your back the first 2 nights. Stay hydrated. Wear a wide-brim hat outside.

DON’T: Pick, scratch, or peel. Get the area wet (long showers, pools, sauna). Work out heavily or sweat. Apply makeup to the area for at least 2 weeks. Use retinol, glycolic acid, or exfoliants on the area for 30 days. Get facials, botox, chemical peels, or laser near the area for 4 weeks.
