Here is an overview of what you can expect during a typical permanent lip coloring treatment:

• Color Selection: Together with the artist, you will choose a lip color that suits your preferences and complements your skin tone. The artist may create custom pigment blends to achieve the desired shade.

• Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the artist will clean and sanitize the lip area. Topical anesthesia, usually in the form of a numbing cream or gel, will be applied to the lips to minimize discomfort during the tattooing process.

• Tattooing Process: Using a specialized tattoo machine or microblading tool, the artist will carefully implant pigments into the upper layers of the lip tissue. The process includes creating a well-defined lip outline, filling in the lips with color, and often adding shading to create depth and dimension. The artist will work with precision to achieve the desired lip shape and color intensity.

• Healing: After the procedure, the lips may appear swollen and slightly darker than the final result. This is a normal part of the healing process and typically subsides within a few days. It’s essential to follow aftercare instructions provided by the artist, which may include applying ointment to keep the lips moisturized and avoiding activities that could compromise the healing process, such as exposure to sun, swimming, or certain skincare products.
