TRANSFORM YOUR SMILE WITH PERMANENT LIP BLUSH

Lip blush is the newest semi-permanent trend that enhances the natural lip shape with a boost of symmetry and color.

It has become a highly sought after treatment that defines lip contours and adds a natural flush to your lip color.

This treatment pairs beautifully with lip filler and leaves you with a "perfect pout" resembling a soft lip stain once healed.

Pigments are available in all shades and can be blended for a customized lip colour to brighten your existing lip tone, conceals scars and restores symmetry.​

Our goal at SKN Deep Cosmetic Clinic is to provide results that both enhance and compliment our clients skin tone and lifestyle.

Our signature technique uses a small PMU needle cartridge to gently deposits pigment into the lips.

We do not offer or recommend harsh lip-lines/border or overlining for our lip blush/neutralizing services.

We encourage clients to bring their favourite lip colour(s) to the consultation so your artist can customize your pigment selection for a perfect match.

Please keep in mind final colors are chosen for the client's desired results and skin tones in mind.

Please keep in mind it will take 2 sessions to complete your desired lip color and ensure longevity.

Similar to nail polish, you need least 2-3 coats to achieve a solid color.

A technique created with our melanin rich clients in mind.

Lip neutralization is the application of colour theory and corrective pigments to neutralize and conceal dark and cool tones in the lips.

This technique is most common for clients with Fitzpatrick 4-6 skin tones. The final result is a more vibrant and balanced lip color.

Please keep in mind 2-4 sessions may be required to reach your desired result.

This signature technique uses a small PMU needle cartridge to gently deposits corrective pigment into the target areas of the lips.

Once colour tones have been neutralized, a second pass of pigment is done to blend all light and cool tones together.

We do not offer or recommend harsh lip-lines/border or overlining for our lip blush/neutralizing services.

Pricing for lip blush and dark lip neutralization depends on the artist you select and your desired result.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Standard Lip Blush: Starts at $550 (includes initial session, mapping, custom colour blend and 1 touch up scheduled 6 weeks after your initial).
  
• Dark Lip Neutralization: Please note 2-4 sessions may be required in order to neutralize and correct dark undertones. This service starts at $550+ (includes initial session, mapping, custom correction blend and 1 touch up scheduled 6 weeks after your initial).
  
• Touch-Ups: Touchups start at $150 and prices increase based on time between appointments. Your first touch up is included in your initial service for new clients only (does not include annual touch ups).
  
  

Why pricing varies:

• Correcting work from another artist can require colour correction, cover up and reshaping.
  
• Your desired result. If you are looking for a subtle pop of colour, 2 sessions is enough for most clients. If you are looking for a brighter more saturated colour, more sessions will be required.

We believe in full transparency when it comes to your beauty, we offer in-depth complimentary consultations so that you’re included in every step and know exactly what’s involved, what’s included, and the total investment before committing.

Absolutely. We know lip blush is a meaningful investment in your confidence, and we’ve partnered with iFinance Canada to make it easy to fit into your budget.

Here’s how we keep it flexible:

• Payment plans: Available for multi-session treatments (like dark lip neutralization, restorative tattoos) or packages.
  
• Deposit structure: A small deposit reserves your spot and goes toward your total cost with no extra fees.
  
• Instant Access: Once approved you have access to your funds within 24 hrs. 

We’ll review these options during your consultation so that you are well informed before moving forward.

 Yes,  a lip blush touch-up is part of the process and helps ensure long-lasting results.

Here’s what you can expect at our Grimsby clinic:

• Initial touch-up: Typically scheduled 6–8 weeks after your first lip blush session to perfect color and shape.
  
• Cost: Permanent brow/lip bookings and packages include this first touch-up. For other pmu services your touch up is offered at a reduced rate. We’ll review all options during your consultation.
  
• Maintenance: Most clients opt for a yearly lip blush touch up to keep pigment looking fresh and to re-defined the shape if needed.

This staged approach ensures your results look flawless and fade beautifully.

You’ll see color right away, but it goes through several healing stages before settling into its soft, final shade:

Healing timeline:

• Days 1–3: Expect swelling. Color looks brighter and bolder than expected — this is normal.
  
• Days 4–7: Lips soften and peel, revealing lighter pigment underneath.
  
• Weeks 4–6: Final healed color appears — typically 30–40% lighter than day one.

A touch-up after healing refines the color and shape for long-lasting, balanced results. This process ensures your lips heal naturally and look beautiful for years to come.

Lip blush and neutralization results typically last 2–3 years before gradually softening back to your natural lip tone. The fade is intentional and even, so your lips won’t look patchy and you can refresh or adjust the shade over time.

Why results fade:

• Natural skin cell turnover and gentle exfoliation
  
• Sun exposure or tanning
  
• Habits like smoking or frequent lip treatments
  
• Pigment color choice (softer, natural shades fade sooner)
  

What this means for you:

• You can expect your results to stay soft and even for up to 3 years.
  
• We recommend a simple refresh every 12–18 months keeps your lips looking vibrant and balanced long-term, especially for lighter tones or corrective work.
  
• Some clinics claim 5+ year results, but those often heal too dark or unnatural. Our approach prioritizes a soft, natural fade that ages beautifully. This technique is perfect if you’re looking to define and add a subtle pop of colour that looks polished without needing a full face of makeup.

We’ll review your lifestyle and goals during consultation so you know exactly how long your results will last, and how to take care of them.

Yes, and it’s the best way to ensure your results are safe, customized, and exactly what you’re envisioning. A quick consultation helps us:

• Assess your lips — tone, undertone, and natural shape to determine if any neutralization is needed.
  
• Review your health history — check for things like cold sores, medications, or conditions that affect healing.
  
• Set realistic expectations — discuss color options, healing stages, and final results so you know what to expect.
  
• Answer your questions — from pricing to aftercare, so you feel fully confident before your first appointment.

This step only takes a short time, is included in your service, and ensures a smooth and relaxing experience from start to finish.

Yes, that’s exactly what lip neutralization is designed to do. It’s a corrective process that uses colour theory and layered techniques to bring dark, bluish, or uneven tones into a more balanced, natural shade before blush color is added.

Neutralization can help correct:

• Bluish, purple, or brown undertones
  
• Uneven pigmentation or patchy color
  
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation from trauma or cold sores

Because darker tones require gradual correction for the softest, most natural outcome, neutralization often takes 2–4 sessions. The end result is even-toned lips that look healthy, soft, and natural

The sensation is often compared to scratching or gentle pressure rather than sharp pain, and we take every step to keep you comfortable.

We manage comfort by:

• Applying a topical numbing cream before we start and allow you to numb for 15 minutes before your starting the procedure. 

• Working in gentle layers, checking in regularly to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible.

• Minimize trauma to the skin, so you leave feeling comfortable, not sore.

Swelling and tenderness following your procedure is normal and typically resolves within a day or two. For most clients, the sensation tends to feel far more comfortable than anticipated, even for those who were nervous at first.

Plan for a 3 hour visit for your lip blush or neutralization appointment. This allows us to work precisely and comfortably without rushing your results.

Here’s how that time is usually spent:

• Consultation & mapping (20–30 minutes): We discuss your goals, select pigment shades, and carefully outline your lip shape.
  
• Topical numbing (20–30 minutes): Applied before treatment to keep you comfortable.
  
• Pigment application (1–2 hours): Performed in layers for even color and natural results.
  
• Aftercare review (10 minutes): We walk you through healing stages and send you home confident with clear instructions.

Neutralization sessions can run slightly longer if we’re correcting darker undertones.

Lip blush is suitable for a wide range of individuals, including those with darker tones, uneven pigmentation, or old pigment. You may be a good fit if you:

• Want enhanced color and definition without relying on daily lipstick and liner.
  
• Have uneven pigmentation or cool-toned lips that need a colour correction.
  
• Prefer a low-maintenance beauty routine with soft, natural-looking results that last.
  
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding (for safety reasons) and free of major skin conditions.

Even if you have a history of cold sores, or previous tattooing, we can often work around it with the right approach. A quick consultation confirms your candidacy and ensures your plan is safe and customized to your needs.

Yes, lip blush and lip filler complement each other beautifully when timed correctly. We recommend waiting at least 4 weeks after your lip blush appointment before having a filler treatment.

Here’s why timing matters:

• Ensures accurate mapping and pigment placement for the best symmetry.
  
• Prevents working on lips that are still healing or swollen.
  
• Allows your results (volume from filler + color from blush)  to look seamless and natural.

Always share your filler history during the consultation so we can customize your treatment plan for safe, natural results.

Yes, we frequently work with clients to correct or refresh previous lip blush done at another studio. Corrective work is highly specialized and requires an experienced approach, as every case is different.

During your consultation, we assess:

• The existing pigment color and saturation (how dark, light, or faded it is)
  
• Your natural lip tone and undertone to plan for neutralization if needed
  
• The current shape and symmetry of your lips

Depending on what we find, correction may involve multiple sessions or even removal or neutralizing treatments before applying your new pigment.

We’ll walk you through the entire plan so you know what to expect and feel confident moving forward.

Yes, lip blush is safe and effective for every skin tone and type when performed by an experienced artist. Our process is tailored to your unique lips so results look natural and heal beautifully.

This is how we make sure every treatment is safe and inclusive:

• Pigment selection: We choose colors that enhance your natural undertone to prevent ashiness or unwanted hues on deeper tones. We also recommend bringing in your favourite lip colour for reference.
  
• Technique adjustments: Application is customized for oily, dry, or sensitive skin to improve retention and comfort.
  
• Quality products: We use high-quality, premium hypoallergenic pigments and follow strict sterilization protocols to ensure your safety and ours. 

Our personalized approach means your results look soft, complimentary and tailored to you, whether your lips are big or small, fair or deep in tone.

Having the right prep instructions sets you up for better pigment retention, smoother healing, and longer-lasting results. To make sure you’re fully prepared, here’s what we recommend:

A few days before your appointment:

• Stay hydrated — well-moisturized lips absorb pigment more evenly.
  
• Gently exfoliate 1–2 days before (lip scrub or soft toothbrush) to remove dry skin.
  
• Manage cold sores — if you’re prone, start prescribed antiviral medication to prevent flare-ups. 

24 hours before:

• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners (like ibuprofen or aspirin) to reduce bleeding and improve color retention.
  
• Refrain from intense sun exposure or tanning 10 days prior to service.
  
  

Day of your appointment:

• Arrive with clean, makeup-free lips.
  
• Bring any lip products or inspiration photos you love — we’ll discuss shades together.

Following these steps helps create a smooth canvas for your treatment and sets you up for the best possible results.
