Since this technique uses 1 singular needle, it is minimally invasive. This means that there is barely any bleeding or trauma that's caused to the skin. The feeling is often described as a "light scratch”. The majority of our clients rate the pain level at a 1-3 out of 10.
-
Short answer: yes and no.
Primary numbing alters the texture of the skin due to the product absorption. This can cause the needle to create excess trauma to the skin. Because of this, we do not use primary numbing for the first pass to create the least amount of trauma possible. During the second and third passes, we use secondary numbing to keep the client comfortable and pain-free throughout the rest of the procedure. -
Yes! Depending on your previous permanent makeup saturation, we may need to start fresh by removing the previous pigment. If the previous pigment has faded enough, we may be able to work over them. Our number 1 goal is to create NATURAL looking healed results for each client. If your previous permanent makeup is very saturated (looks like a tattoo instead of flesh toned skin) or if the pigment has turned blue/gray or any other funky color, it is not possible to create a natural looking result. In those cases, we highly recommend magnetic tattoo removal to pull the pigment out of the skin so we can start fresh!
If you have previous PMU and need some guidance on what your next step should be, email us a picture of your brows to support@beauttega.co and we will recommend the best plan for you!
Lip Blush
-
Yes! Lip filler and lip blush are friends and work beautifully together! However, you will need to wait 4 weeks before or after getting lip filler to get lip blushing.

Typically, lip blushing can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. It varies due to skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for them post-procedure. Annual touchups are recommended to keep color fresh. The pigment can be affected by using anti-aging, exfoliating, or acne skin care products around the area, unprotected UV exposure, and improper aftercare.
-
The appointment typically takes about 2 hours from start to finish. It includes a consultation, mapping, numbing, color choice, and tattooing. We use a topical numbing cream to pre-numb the area, then continue to apply a numbing product throughout the procedure to keep you comfortable and numb!
-
Yes! We will work together to find the perfect shade for your natural lips and skin tone. Shades can be fully customized. Keep in mind that lip blush is typically a two-step process to see the desired color results.

The area may be slightly swollen for a day or two, which is typical for the lip area.
They will be vibrant for the first three days and begin settling in, softening, and turning very natural.
After healing, the color will be softer and lighten up anywhere from 10-30%. Over time, the color will continue to lighten and fade.
An aftercare kit will be provided with everything you need and instructions to take care of your lips. Healing time is relatively quick, and peeling will start around 3-5 days after.
Be sure to avoid spicy foods, swimming, sauna, direct sunlight, and any makeup products besides healing balm for the lips. -
We will call a prescription in for an anti-viral medication for preventative measures!
