What's The Process?

Step 1: We Consult With You

Once you’ve booked your appointment, we’ll interview you about your daily makeup routine. What colors do you enjoy wearing? Pinks, nudes, browns, or corals? We’ll work with you to find the perfect shade that best complements your skin tone. We’ll discuss symmetry and any color correction that may be recommended also at this time.

Step 2: We Outline Your New Lips

After we’ve gone over all of your options and chosen a color that you love, we’ll outline your lips. This is to ensure perfect symmetry, as well as a shape that complements the natural highlights and contours of your face.

Step 3: We Numb Your Lips

Before we begin, we’ll numb your lips with a topical anesthetic. We will let this sit for 20 minutes to minimize discomfort as much as possible.

Step 4: We Begin

We begin applying lip color once we have determined you are feeling relaxed and pain free. Lip color is applied meticulously with a sterile, medical grade applicator designed specifically for detailed cosmetic application. (All items that touch your skin are one time use only and are disposed of after the treatment.) We apply lip color to the entire lip surface. This can take 1-1.5 hours.

What To Expect After Your Treatment

Day 1: You love your new lip color! The color will appear bright and saturated. Your lips will also feel slightly swollen.

Days 2-4: The color will begin to darken temporarily as the pigment oxidizes and flaking begins. You lips will feel most swollen during this time, but it should reduce quickly with proper care.

Days 5-14: Most swelling will be gone. Your lips will begin to feel dry and continue flaking. DO NOT pick at your lips. Allow shedding to heal naturally. At this time, it will appear that your lip color is very light. This is only temporary as the new skin is still healing. Over the next several days your lip color will reappear until it reaches 40-50% of the initial color.

Days 28-42: It’s time for your complimentary perfection touch up! At this time your lips are fully healed and it is recommended that you come back in to reinforce any color that might have healed patchy or too light.

*Once healed, remember to always apply full spectrum sunscreen to your lips when in the sun to avoid premature fading of treatment.

*A complete healing cycle takes 4-6 weeks depending on age and your body regeneration.
