Painless and gentle Lip Blush session at Majida Glam studio in Geneva

"Does it hurt?" is by far the most frequent question from first-time clients. Many imagine traditional body tattooing on the lips. Fortunately, modern lip micropigmentation is vastly different and remarkably gentle.

On a Scale of 1 to 10: What Is the Real Pain Level?

Most of our clients at Majida Glam rate the sensation between 2 and 3 out of 10—comparable to an electric toothbrush vibration or light eyebrow plucking. Many clients even fall asleep during treatment!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lip Blush more painful than getting dermal filler injections?+

Most clients find Lip Blush much less painful than fillers, as micropigmentation needles do not penetrate deep into tissue.

Can I have treatment during my period?+

Yes, but hormonal fluctuations can make you slightly more sensitive to sensations. Scheduling outside your cycle is ideal.

What can I take before the appointment to reduce discomfort?+

You may take Paracetamol 30 minutes before. Avoid Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and alcohol, as they thin the blood.
