07/09/2024 Lip blush, a form of cosmetic lip tattooing, is one of the biggest trends in the permanent makeup industry. With increased attention on enhancing lips, a common question arises: should you get lip blush before or after fillers?
Should I Get Lip Blush Before or After Fillers?
If you plan to get both lip blush and lip fillers, it is recommended to get lip blush first. Here’s why:
Guideline for Fillers: Lip blush can outline and reshape your lips, providing a guideline for the lip filler technician.
Longevity: Lip blush lasts longer than lip fillers. When fillers lose their shape, the lip blush color will still look natural as it was designed for your pre-filler lips.
When Is It Safe to Get Lip Fillers After Lip Blush?
Lip blush requires time to heal before getting fillers:
Surface Healing: Heals in 2 weeks.
Complete Healing: Takes 4-6 weeks. Most clients need a touch-up session after this period.
Recommended Wait Time: Approximately 2 months between lip blush and lip filler appointments.
Can You Get Lip Blush After Lip Fillers?
Yes, getting lip blush after lip fillers is also an option. Some artists prefer this method as fillers change the lip shape, allowing lip blush to enhance the new shape.
Healing Time: Wait at least 2-4 weeks after fillers for the lips to heal and take their final shape.
Consultation: Consult both your PMU artist and filler technician to decide the best sequence for your treatments.
Which Is Better: Lip Blush or Lip Fillers?
Choosing between lip blush and lip fillers depends on your preferences:
Lip Fillers: Hyaluronic injections that enhance the size and volume of the lips. Results last 6-12 months.
Lip Blush: A semi-permanent tattoo that creates the illusion of fuller lips and enhances lip color. It does not significantly increase lip size but provides a natural look.
Conclusion
Both lip blush and lip fillers are popular lip enhancement options. If planning to get both treatments, it is generally recommended to get lip blush first. Regardless of the sequence, ensure to follow the aftercare routine and wait the recommended time between treatments for the best results.
