Refresh (Touch Up)
If you have previously had cosmetic tattooing done on your lips, regardless of the artist or salon, you may not book with us until your lips have been evaluated by our artists and have you been approved for your touch up.
We will need your permanent makeup to be faded by at least 50% before we tattoo you again. We do this to ensure that your cosmetic tattoo ages well through the years – we care about the long haul! So, if you feel that your tattoo has faded significantly throughout the entirety of the lips, please complete our Refresh Approval Form.
Service Cost: $350
Refresh prices are for previous clients of Sanctuary only. If your permanent makeup was initially done by another salon, you will pay full price for your first visit.
Lip Blushing
Enhance your natural lips with our Lip Blush treatment; a precise machine technique designed to restore symmetry, soft definition, and a fresh wash of color. This service adds subtle warmth and balance while enhancing your natural lip tone for a beautifully refreshed look.
Lips must be healthy and free of chapping prior to treatment. If you are prone to cold sores, fever blisters, or mouth ulcers, you must take Valtrex beginning two days before your appointment, the day of treatment, and continue for seven days after. Lip blush can trigger an outbreak, resulting in pigment loss and compromised healed results. As a preventative measure, all clients are encouraged to take Lysine for two weeks prior to their appointment.
Lip blush pairs beautifully with lip filler, restoring color that can sometimes appear muted after injections. Enjoy effortless, softly tinted lips from morning to night; no smudging, no feathering, no daily lipstick required.
Service Cost: $650
Includes the initial session and a touch up session, which will be booked 6-8 weeks after your initial appointment. We will book your touch up appointment at the time of your first session.

The Phases of Healing
Day 1-3: Lips will feel darker. Try not to worry!
Day 4-7: Lips will develop light flakes. They may look patchy during this phase, but do not pick or scratch!
Day 10-30: Lips will look very light or like the pigment is gone. The pigment is sitting under the newly healed skin and will return soon!
Week 5-8: The color will return to the surface and you will see the true healed results from your session.
