Please keep in mind that this is a process, much like any cosmetic surgery. Please be patient and do not anticipate instant results. You won’t be able to completely appreciate the outcome for a few weeks.
After the operation, you can suffer some slight redness and swelling. During the first week, you may also encounter oozing and skin peeling (scabbing). The hue will seem deeper, and the form might be angular.
The hue and edges will mellow down after approximately a week. You will lose some colour (20%–50%) when the treated region gently exfoliates throughout the healing process. This is a regular procedure.
Exfoliation (peeling) often starts after 4-5 days and is finished after 7–10 days. You can feel let down at that time due to the stark contrast between the original, vivid hue and the new, milder tint. Be at ease. You will likely have a second application of pigment in a few weeks. Shape and colour will then be customised to your preferences.
After 3–4 weeks, when the pigment in the skin has had time to solidify, the ultimate effects of the initial treatment will become apparent.
For lips, outside healing is finished in 7–10 days.
Inner healing is finished in one to two months.
Schedule for Healing Permanent Lips
lipstick healing
Darkest pigment after 1–7 days of lip blush healing.
In 7 to 14 days, the colour may fade.
15–30 days: A small increase in colour intensity.
pigment touch-up after 30–62 days.
After the recuperation phase, the treated region may seem lighter than the original due to natural skin renewal.
Even with adequate maintenance, clients often have bald patches or lose natural pigment, which gives the treated region an uneven appearance. It is quite normal since a technician cannot regulate the process of your natural skin renewal.
The majority of consumers want a touch-up after 4–12 weeks to make sure the intended look was obtained. To get the desired results from micropigmentation, it may take two or three treatments. After the first session, it is not unusual for the colour to fade by 20–50%.
Please keep in mind that you will get far better outcomes if you follow the right preparation and aftercare procedures.
Advice: To avoid fading, apply sunscreen once the healing process is over. Keep harsh materials away from the treated region. Right after the lip tattoo procedure.
Be prepared for some edoema. Due to swelling, lips may seem uneven or crooked very away after the surgery. Please, do not worry.
The edoema will diminish in roughly (24-48 hours). Color may seem overly dark after the process until a minor peeling (flaking) starts to appear after 4-5 days. The hue will seem lighter, and you could feel that it is insufficient.
After a month, the skin’s pigment will settle and resurface. Though the tone is reduced and considerably milder than the original.
Lips will flow for a few days until the crust dries off. It is common to experience pressure or soreness, and lips will peel for a week.
It can take two or three applications to get the desired effects. After the first application, it is usual for the colour to fade by up to 70%.Use a straw; lips will be sensitive.
