Get back the lip color you had when you were in your 20’s and didn't need lip stick. Soft, natural lip colors or more vibrant cosmetic shades are available. Permanent makeup will enhance your lip color, can provide more balance to uneven lips or add a bit of fullness. Lip liner can bring out the beauty of your lip. Just a hint of color added to your lips edge can give a fuller appearance. You can still add lip stick or gloss as desired. Cosmetic lip color may require multiple visits to achieve desired results.
Lip color can eliminate the problem of "lipstick bleeding" into the fine lines around the mouth. It is also perfect for lips that are asymmetrical, thick, thin or uneven.
Lip Liner - $475
Full Lip Color - $650 and up
Lips Pre Care
If you have ever (even years ago) had fever blisters, cold sores, chicken pox or shingles you must be pre-treated with an antiviral medication prior to your procedure. It is a good idea to prep lips by gently exfoliating, moisturizing and conditioning them for a week or more before your lip procedure. We can make recommendations on products that can help with that.
Lips After Care
Lips can be swollen and puffy for first few hours after the procedure. Apply ice for the first few hours (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off). Lips will feel very dry. Keep them moist using a Q-tip with vaseline for 14 days. Some peeling may occur. Do not peel off! Lips can fade up to 60% and color can hide for a 6 week period before resurfacing. Lips will require sunblock due to the possibility of photosensitivity.
