Lip blush or dark lip neutralisation?
SMPU Lip Blush is listed for a soft tint and subtle definition. Dark Lip Neutralisation is a separate colour-correcting service for dark or uneven lip tones. The right starting point depends on your existing tone, any previous pigment and the colour being discussed.
Neither option adds the volume of a filler treatment. Talk through the proposed colour, shape, healing stages and how your own starting point may affect the settled result. Photos used to illustrate treatments are not a guarantee of your outcome.
First appointments and top-ups
The booking menu separates first sessions from returning-client appointments. A Lip Blush / Dark Lip Top Up is listed for the early review stage, while the Colour Boost Top Up is a separate service for returning clients within twelve months.
Confirm the appropriate review date directly with Nhu before booking a top-up. Colour retention and any need for further work vary, so discuss the complete plan and any separate charges in advance.
Tell us before you book
Let Nhu know about previous lip pigment, recent filler, cold sores, allergies, medication and skin irritation around the lips. The service notes flag pregnancy or breastfeeding, an active cold sore, certain medical conditions, recent isotretinoin use, a history of keloid scarring and recent procedures as reasons to seek advice before booking.
If you have a history of cold sores, discuss this before treatment and seek appropriate medical advice about prevention. Follow your individual preparation and aftercare plan. Do not stop prescribed medication based on a booking description.

Before you decide.
Can I book a colour boost as a new client?
The Colour Boost Top Up is listed for returning clients only. If you have existing pigment from another practitioner, contact Nhu to discuss it before selecting an appointment.
How do I choose my colour?
Discuss your natural lip tone, previous pigment and the effect you want with Nhu. The proposed colour and realistic healed appearance should be agreed before treatment.
How long does lip blush last?
Semi-permanent lip blush typically lasts between one and three years, depending on your skin, lifestyle and aftercare. A Colour Boost Top Up is available for returning clients within twelve months.
When is the top-up?
The booking menu lists the Lip Blush / Dark Lip Top Up as a 6–8 week appointment. Nhu confirms your date with you, so ask at your first appointment.
What is healing like?
Some areas can fade as the lips heal, and the top-up is there to refine them. You leave with aftercare advice for your lips. How the colour settles varies from person to person.
Treatment information is based on the clinic’s published menu. Availability and the final plan should be confirmed with Nhu. Read the booking policy.
