Healthier-looking lips, softly defined
Lip blush in Middlesbrough at Helena Aesthetics is a semi-permanent makeup treatment that adds a soft, natural wash of colour and definition, never a hard line or an overdone look. A VTCT Level 4 practitioner from a medical background works in a clean, clinical setting. Every treatment starts with a consultation and patch test.
What is lip blush?
Lip blush is a form of semi-permanent makeup that adds a soft wash of colour to the lips. Rather than a bold lipstick look, it gives healthier-looking, more defined lips in a shade that suits you, so you wake up with a little natural colour every day.
At Helena Aesthetics on Acklam Road in Middlesbrough I do lip blush in a clean, clinical setting, not a home studio. We always start with a full consultation and a patch test, and I give you honest advice on colour and shape.
What to expect after lip blush, day by day
Days 1 to 3
your lips look their darkest and most saturated. This is completely normal, and the colour will not stay this intense.
Days 4 to 6
the colour begins to flake and peel, a little like dry or chapped skin. It is important not to pick, peel or rub it off, and to let it come away naturally.
Around day 7
your lips may feel dry, and the colour can look faded or patchy. This can be alarming, but it simply means your lips are in the active healing phase.
Weeks 2 to 4
as healing continues, the colour gradually returns, settling into a softer, more even and slightly brighter tone.
Your top-up
a follow-up appointment is recommended 6 to 8 weeks after your first, so we can perfect the colour once your lips have fully healed.
A note on cold sores: if you are prone to cold sores, the treatment can sometimes trigger a flare-up during healing. If none occurs, colour usually settles better and heals faster. We talk this through at your consultation, so you are fully prepared.
