PLASMA LIFT

All Cosmetic Tattoo's are a 2-step process (minimum): The first appointment focuses on design & colour. The second appointment builds on the colour saturation and is an opportunity to make any small adjustments. Dark Lip Neutralisation's usually require a minimum of three (3) treatments up to twelve (12) weeks apart. ​ You will be asked to apply the First numbing cream yourself and arrive to your appointment with it still in place. Your comfort is a high priority throughout the treatment, therefore the use of two different numbing creams will assist. Some clients are super comfortable that they fall asleep! A complimentary After-Care pack will be supplied at your initial appointment so that you can take care of your new Lip Blush tattoo.

Only Cosmetic Tattoo professionals with Lip Tattoo and Infection Control certification should perform Lip Blush as there are many factors to consider before and throughout the application. Daisy Skin only use the highest quality pigments suitable for cosmetic tattoo that are certified vegan and sterilised by gamma radiation. Strict hygiene is adhered to for all treatments at Daisy Skin, together with proper use and disposal of single-use EO gas sterilised needle cartridges.

Immediately following the LIP BLUSH procedure, you will be encouraged to do an ice-compress to reduce future swelling. Whilst the lips may still be numb and feel very plump, it is safe to return to light duties for the remainder of the day. Be sure to familiarise yourself with Your Care Guide to optimise results!

Generally a Lip Blush tattoo can stay vibrant for up to 18 months. It is recommended that your Cosmetic Tattoo be 'ColourBoosted' once every 12-18 months to keep it looking fresh. It is always great to remember that as everyones skin is unique therefore the longevity of any tattoo is dependent on your lifestyle, medications and how closely the Pre-Care and Post-Care guidelines are followed.

This is a great question as many people dive into getting a cosmetic tattoo believing it is permanent like their body tattoos! This is not the case at all (unless your Cosmetic Tattooist has incorrectly used body ink). Semi-permanent makeup is designed to enhance your natural facial features, so the specially formulated cosmetic pigments are designed to fade as you age. Allow us to explain further. With aging comes skin laxity (reduction in collagen & elastin), therefore an increase in wrinkles. Imagine having permanent ink on your face that no longer enhances your features, but makes you appear older or washed out? Your face is a canvas you look at every day. Remember it is a GREAT thing that cosmetic tattoos are semi-permanent!

With our faces anatomically not symmetrical, lips can be uneven at birth or have been changed from an accident, stroke, surgery, treatment or viral infection. Generally, Lip Blush tattoo will not go outside the natural lip border because the lip and skin tissue will metabolise the pigment at different rates. This means that the lip and skin tissue will fade at different times, requiring more regular treatments. By special request Daisy Skin can tattoo outside of the natural lip border to correct asymmetry. Clients that have permanently lost lip pigment can RESTORE their lip pigmentation to achieve a "full lip" again. Please note that Lip Restoration Cosmetic Tattoos generally require 2-3 appointments 6-12 weeks apart (depending on skin tone).

Patch Tests are recommended for clients who have a history of skin inflammation or concerned about a possible inflammatory reaction to the permanent makeup procedure. The Patch Test is a comprehensive test using ALL instruments and agents used throughout the Permanent Makeup application (including but not limited to: nitrile gloves, drafting pencils, alcohol wipe, medical marker, topical numbing creams, sterile needle cartridge, pigment, wipes, aftercare etc). ​ The test itself is performed in a discrete area behind the ear. This location is sensitive and most similar to the skin on your face. If no allergic reaction is present after 7 days of the Patch Test an Initial Tattoo booking can be made. Discuss your skin sensitivity at your consult. Comprehensive Patch Tests are $75.

Day of Treatment ✔️ Ice-compress (10 mins on / 10 mins off) until swelling subsides ✔️ Sleep on a fresh pillowslip For 7 Days (or until fully healed) ✔️ Apply Aftercare Balm several times a day ✔️ Stay hydrated (drink lots of water) ❌ No makeup / sunscreen / moisturiser on Lips ❌ No swimming / saunas / spas / long showers ❌ No sun exposure ❌ No pulling / picking / scratching ❌ No kissing ❌ No food/beverages high in salt, spice, acidity, temperature Until your lips are fully healed DO NOT touch them with unclean hands! This can introduce bacteria to the area which can lead to infection ☹ Complimentary Aftercare Balm is supplied at every appointment to help you care for your fresh lips. Itchy? Tingly? Stingy? A cold sore may be developing. Seek treatment ASAP from your local Chemist or Doctor. Do not delay in seeking appropriate treatment as a cold sore can pull the pigment out of the lip as it’s considered another fresh wound in the area.

Everyone's healing will slightly differ, however there are typical signs of the lip healing process: Day 0-1 Bold vibrant colour, more plump than usual. Sensitive/tender to touch. Day 2-7 Lips feel dry initially, then they will flake/peel (see diagram below). Day 4-7 Lips healed. Colour may be 50-80% of original intensity, then "bloom" to their true/final colour 4-12 weeks later (depending on skin tone) Week 6/12 Return for the Topup appointment to build on the colour density and make any minor adjustments 💥Fascinating tip: Lip colours can change depending on time of day and your levels of hydration 😉

Australian Red Cross states that you have to wait seven (7) days to donate blood after having a cosmetic tattoo by a licensed tattoo professional in Australia. If the tattoo is done overseas or by an unlicensed tattooist, then the wait time is four (4) months. Full information can be read here: https://www.lifeblood.com.au/faq/eligibility/lifestyle-and-identity/tattoo-or-piercing . Erin from Daisy Skin operates from council approved premises, is trained, insured and uses the highest quality equipment and pigments, therefore is considered a licensed cosmetic tattooist.

The cold sore virus, known as Herpes Simplex Virus, can be triggered by mental stress or physical stress to the lips (such as sunburn or dry, chapped lips). Similar to sunburn, the Lip Tattoo procedure can reactivate the dormant Herpes Simplex Virus, transitioning it from a dormant state to an active state. This reactivation results in a cold sore outbreak. Having blisters or cold sores during the healing process is not ideal because the newly placed pigment can be disturbed, potentially leading to scarring and an uneven tattoo. During your consultation, we will ask if you’ve ever had a cold sore. If you answer “yes,” we’ll provide specific information to help prevent a blister or cold sore outbreak. If you’re unsure or can’t remember, we encourage you to answer “yes.” Your well-being and beautiful lips are our priority!

Fordyce Spots are pale spots caused by enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands. Lip Blush tattoo can effectively conceal Fordyce Spots, but it’s essential to obtain clearance from your doctor if they are raised.
