I've had ArteFill in my lips for 20 years - can I have lip blushing semi-permanent makeup done without problems?

Question

Would the lip blush be contraindicated if i’ve had artecoll ? I am afraid of an inflammatory response. Thank you

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Artecoll is a dermal filler that contains small beads of synthetic material suspended in a gel. While lip blush and Artecoll are two separate cosmetic treatments, there is a possibility that having previously received Artecoll injections could increase your risk for an inflammatory response to the lip blush treatment.

It's important to discuss your concerns with a qualified medical professional who is experienced in performing lip blush procedures. They will be able to assess your individual situation and determine whether lip blush is safe and appropriate for you.

In some cases, it may be necessary to wait until any residual inflammation from the Artecoll injections has resolved before undergoing lip blush. Your provider may also recommend a patch test to check for any allergic reactions or adverse skin reactions to the lip blush pigment.

Overall, it's important to prioritize your health and safety when considering any cosmetic treatments. Be sure to choose a reputable and experienced provider, and communicate openly with them about any prior treatments or health conditions that may impact your ability to undergo lip blush or any other cosmetic procedure.
