EXCLUSIVE LIP BLUSHING TREATMENT

Every woman, we believe, dreams of having perfect lips. Mari Santos designed a bespoke treatment not found at any other clinic to make this wish come true. Through a unique blend of treatments, she will bring out the natural beauty of your lips by enhancing their colour, tone and shape.

WHAT ARE VELVET LIPS?

Velvet Lips is a semi-permanent makeup treatment developed by aesthetic expert Mari Santos, similar to lip blushing.  Velvet lips give you a more natural contour, and no one will ever guess your lip colour has changed (except those very close to you). The result is exceptionally natural looking. We use a renowned German semi-permanent makeup machine to add colour to your lips, as well as enhance and define the form of your lips. The Velvet Lips treatment will leave you with a soft, natural shaded-in colour and improve your lips’ symmetry, covering scars and uneven pigmentation. The outcome is simply marvellous!

Process

Before Care

  • When you book your appointment, please drink at least 2 litres of water daily for the weeks leading up to your visit.
  • Avoid using lipstick.
  • Scrub your lips once a day with honey and sugar for at least a week. You can also use olive oil and sugar if preferred.
  • Your lips must be hydrated on the day of the treatment for the best results.
  • If you have recent Lip Fillers, cold sores, or cuts or bruises, kindly postpone your appointment by at least four weeks.

Treatment

  • At first, you meet with the semi-permanent makeup master for a consultation.
  • Together you will find the best shape and fix any asymmetry with a white pen.
  • The skin is then cleansed with a lotion and a numbing cream is applied for 45 minutes – we all know how sensitive our lips are and our aim is to ensure a comfortable session.
  • The lip colour is then applied inside the lips – dot by dot.
  • Once finished a soothing ointment is applied.

After Care

  • Importantly it is vital to keep your lips hydrated with the ointment provided.
  • Please follow these instructions on the first day: no smoking, kissing, alcohol, or hot and spicy food.
  • Avoid spicy food for the next seven days.
  • Keep your lips clean, moisturise with a good lip balm for the next five days and drink lots of water.
  • Wash them daily with clean drinking water only.
  • For the next seven days, avoid sun exposure and swimming.
  • Avoid touching the lips with your tongue. After 4 - 6 days, the skin will start peeling; do not pull the scabs.
  • The lip colour will change a few times until the colour settles.

Side effects

  • Your lips may be swollen for up to 24 hours.
  • You may develop cold sores, dryness, and extreme sensitivity.

FAQ

  • Your lips will look brighter and might be a bit swollen for the next 24 hours, which varies from person to person. Some clients experience no swelling at all.
  • The colour will get lighter by up to 30-50% whilst healing, which may take up to 45 days to see the final colour.
  • You may smoke. However, it is essential you follow the instructions provided.
  • Stopping smoking an hour before and 24 hours after is crucial for the treatment to be successful.
  • Our team highly recommend Lip Neutralization for darker lips.
