Long-Lasting, Natural Enhancement for Youthful, Defined Lips

At Katerina Victoria Aesthetics in Darlington, we offer advanced Lip Blush Tattooing—a semi-permanent treatment designed to enhance your lips with soft, natural colour and improved definition. The result? A brighter, more youthful appearance that looks effortless every day.

This treatment is perfect for women who want to add subtle fullness, correct asymmetry, or restore colour lost with age—all while maintaining a natural, elegant finish.

What Is Lip Blushing?

Lip Blushing (sometimes called Aquarelle or Velvet Lip Blush) uses a specialist digital tattoo device to implant pigment into the lips. Unlike lip liner tattoos of the past, this technique blends colour seamlessly into the lips, creating a soft wash of tint for a healthy, flushed look.

Benefits include:

• A natural boost in colour and vibrancy
  
• The illusion of fuller, more symmetrical lips
  
• A youthful, radiant appearance without lipstick
• Long-lasting results that fade gradually over time

Benefits of Lip Blush

Lip Blush is one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments, offering both aesthetic and restorative benefits. Clients choose it because it:

• Adds colour & definition – restoring a healthy, fresh appearance
  
• Corrects asymmetry & reshapes lips for improved balance
  
• Minimises scars, pigmentation issues & discolouration
  
• Stimulates collagen production, naturally boosting fullness
  
• Is minimally invasive – with quick healing and no downtime
  
• Lasts 1–3 years with touch-ups as needed
  

Many clients also find lip blush brightens the eyes and can even make teeth appear lighter—helping them look fresher overall.

Who Is It For?

Lip Blush is suitable for clients of all ages who want to:

• Restore colour lost with age
  
• Redefine faded or thinning lips
  
• Correct scars or pigmentation issues
  
• Complement lip filler by enhancing shape & colour
  
• Enjoy a polished look without the need for daily lipstick
  

It’s also popular with busy professionals who want to look effortlessly refreshed every day.

The Lip Blush Treatment Process

1. Consultation – Your appointment begins with a consultation, colour match, and shape mapping.
   
2. Numbing – A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
   
3. Pigment Application – Using a fine digital tattoo machine, pigment is carefully layered into the lips over multiple passes for a soft, even result.
   
4. Aftercare Guidance – You’ll receive tailored aftercare advice and products to support healing.
   
5. Touch-Up – A follow-up session at 6–8 weeks ensures colour and density are perfected.
   

Treatment typically takes 2–2.5 hours, including consultation and design.

Aftercare & Healing

Healing is straightforward with no real downtime. You may experience mild sensitivity or dryness for a few days. Aftercare steps include:

• Avoiding makeup, spicy foods, and direct sun exposure during initial healing
  
• Applying aftercare balm as directed
  
• Not picking or scratching as lips flake naturally
  

Results last 1–3 years, with colour gradually fading. Refresh appointments every 12–18 months are recommended to maintain your desired look.

Does Lip Blush Hurt?

Most clients report little to no discomfort. With topical numbing applied, sensations are usually described as mild scratching or tingling. Many find the treatment less uncomfortable than eyebrow waxing or traditional tattooing.
