Lip Blush Procedure Essentials
Planning a lip blush procedure? Here are your must haves:
- 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.
- 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.
- Needles for lip procedures: The needle configuration(s) used depends on the technique and desired outcome.
- PPE & Disposables: Disinfectants, pigment cups, masks, gloves, device wrap, and barrier bibs to name a few!
- Anesthetics: Keep your clients comfortable with a numbing solution. Our favorite is Zensa cream for pre-numbing.
- Mapping Tools: How do you like to map? Pencil, rule, string - there’s quite a few options!
