Opulent Lip Lounge – PMU Policy

WHAT IS LIP BLUSH?

Please Note: Lip blush is a gradual process. It’s normal for the color to fade by 40–60% after your first session, which is why multiple sessions are often required to achieve your desired color.

On average, 2–4 sessions may be needed depending on:

  • Your natural lip undertone

  • The color you're aiming to achieve

  • How well your skin retains pigment

  • Your commitment to proper aftercare

Clients with melanin-rich or darker lips may require more than 4 sessions to see optimal results.

Touch-up sessions are not included in the initial service price.
Your first touch-up (scheduled within 4–8 weeks) is offered at 50% off, making it $50 (regular price is $100).
Touch-ups scheduled after 8 weeks are $175.

Pre-Appointment Guidelines

To ensure the best possible results, please review and follow the instructions below:

  • Injectables: Any Botox or filler treatments near the lip area should be done at least 30 days prior to your appointment.

  • Skincare Products: Discontinue use of Retin-A, retinols, or any anti-aging products that contain acids at least 30 days before your session.

  • Facial Treatments: Services such as chemical peels, laser treatments, or dermaplaning must be completed a minimum of 30 days prior to your appointment.

  • Medications: Avoid taking blood-thinning medications like Aspirin or Ibuprofen within 24 hours of your appointment, as they can increase bleeding and negatively impact results.

  • Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours before your procedure.

  • Caffeine: Please skip caffeinated drinks the day of your appointment, as it may increase sensitivity.

  • Cold Sores: If you are prone to cold sores, begin taking an antiviral medication (like Valtrex) at least 5 days prior to your appointment to prevent an outbreak.

  • Hydration & Exfoliation: Keep your lips well-hydrated leading up to your appointment and start gently exfoliating them 3 days prior. Apply a lip balm regularly to maintain moisture.

Post-Appointment Instructions

Day 1: Immediately after your Appointment

  • Color will appear much darker than the final healed result — this is normal

  • To prevent scabbing, blot lips gently with a clean tissue every 15 minutes for the first hour post-procedure.

  • Continue to blot as needed throughout the day to remove excess lymph fluid.

  • Keep lips continuously moisturized with the provided ointment — do not let them dry out.

  • You may experience swelling, dryness, tenderness, or mild itching — all are typical healing reactions.

  • Sleep with your head elevated to help reduce swelling.

Days 2–7: Healing Phase

  • Color may continue to darken on Day 2.

  • A soft scab layer will begin to form — this is part of the healing process.

  • Do not pick, scratch, or peel the scabs — this may lead to scarring or pigment loss.

  • Continue to apply ointment regularly to keep lips hydrated and support healing.

  • Expect pigment to fade by 40–60% as your lips go through the natural shedding process.

  • True color will settle and be visible by around Week 4.
