Lip Blush Procedure Essentials

Planning a lip blush procedure? Here are your must haves: 

  1. The right pigment: Choosing the right pigment shade for your clients is a must so using a brand that you know has beautiful healed results is important. 
  2. A machine: While we know this one is a bit obvious, it is obviously a must have for any procedure! We recommend our HIRA Wireless device.
  3. Needles for lip procedures: The needle configuration(s) used depends on the technique and desired outcome.
  4. PPE & Disposables: Disinfectants, pigment cups, masks, gloves, device wrap, and barrier bibs to name a few!
  5. Anesthetics: Keep your clients comfortable with a numbing solution. Our favorite is Zensa cream for pre-numbing.
  6. Mapping Tools: How do you like to map? Pencil, rule, string - there’s quite a few options!

Lip Blush Anesthetics

Choosing the right anesthetic for your procedure can be confusing to say the least so here’s a breakdown of our top two numbing solutions:

Zensa: A pre-numb cream perfect for pre-numbing the lips.

Numpot: A great multi-tasker balm that can be used to numb AND seal in pigment post procedure. Can be used on open or closed skin at any time during the procedure and has an ointment like consistency.
