Your permanent makeup will appear brighter initially.
You may experience slight redness and swelling.
Days 3–5
Crusts or scabs will begin to form.
Peeling may occur during this period.
Important: Do not pick at or remove the crusts/scabs, as this can cause infection and pigment loss.
Days 6–10
The peeling should lessen, and crusts/scabs should naturally fall off.
The pigmentation in the treated area may appear significantly lighter; this lightening is expected and normal.
Long-Term Healing
The true color and final result will not be fully visible until 8–10 weeks after the procedure. The color will appear much softer and more natural by then.
Your lips will look more natural and lighter than before the permanent makeup. However, for the best results, typically 1–2 sessions are not sufficient. It usually takes 2–5 sessions, depending on the individual case and the personalized approach needed. Some cases may require only 2 sessions, while others may need up to 4 or 5.
This is part of the lips neutralization process, with our main goal being the lightening and neutralization of the color.
AFTERCARE
Day of the Procedure
On the day of the procedure, there is no need for any special preparation for your lips. In the evening, wash your lips with a gentle, acid-free soap or facial cleanser.
Pat the area dry with a clean, dry paper towel.
Keep your lips moisturized. Whenever they feel dry, apply a thin layer of the vitamin ointment provided in your after-care kit.
Following Days
For the next 5 days, twice daily – in the morning and evening – gently wipe your lips with the cotton pads provided after the procedure. Then apply a thin layer of the vitamin ointment from your after-care kit.
Feel free to moisturize whenever your lips feel dry, but ensure you apply only a small amount of ointment.
General Precautions
Avoid steaming, applying additional products, engaging in activities that cause heavy sweating, and do not scratch or scrub the area.
Do not peel off any crusts or scabs that form.
From the 5th day onwards, you can resume your normal routine.
If during the 8–10 week period of lip color stabilization your lips darken, you see patches, uneven color, and you feel uncomfortable – use any lip balm or lipstick to cover them.
Apply an SPF cream to protect the color from sunlight.
Stages of Lip Neutralization Procedure
Permanent makeup typically consists of two main stages: the initial procedure and subsequent touch-ups. However, lips neutralization may require additional sessions.
A touch-up session should not be scheduled earlier than two months following the initial procedure.
In some instances, more than two touch-ups may be necessary for dark lip neutralization.
