Lips Shading

To ensure the best results, please follow these guidelines:

• If you have cold sores, we ask that you refrain from receiving a lip treatment or ensure you take the necessary antiviral medications at least three days before and for ten days after the procedure.

Achieving the optimal results is a gradual process that requires expertise and patience. My unique "less is more" approach ensures natural, delicate, and timeless results by building pigment slowly over multiple sessions—allowing for adjustments. More pigment can always be added but can’t be removed if it is too dark or bold.

Every appointment must be booked separately and is NOT included in the initial price.

Your first follow-up session should be scheduled 6 weeks after your initial treatment to assess healing and refine the results.

You are unique and achieving the final result may take 2-3 sessions to achieve their desired look. Factors such as skin type, metabolism, healing process, existing hair loss or scarring, and aftercare adherence all play a role in the final outcome.

To maintain your look, touch-ups are recommended every 8-12 months to ensure your results stay beautiful and natural-looking.

Your post-procedure care is just as important as the treatment itself. Proper aftercare is essential for optimal results. Failing to follow these guidelines may compromise the healing process and result in loss or discoloration of pigment.

Every person’s skin is unique, which means your healing journey will be too. I am here to guide you through every step of the way, answer any questions, and help you achieve beautifully healed results that enhance your natural look.

At the end of your initial appointment, I will go over the detailed aftercare steps with you and provide a handout for reference. By committing to the provided aftercare instructions, we can protect the quality of my work, ensure a smooth healing process, and that you achieve the desired results. ​

• Lips will appear darker for the first week before the outer layer starts to flake off and fade up to 70%. Swelling lasts for 1-2 days, with full healing in 5 weeks. Sometimes the pigment can become patchy or not visible. Rest assured that this will be addressed at follow-up appointments and the pigments have been carefully selected with this in mind.

• Schedule your follow-up 6 weeks after the first treatment (follow-ups are not included). 2-3 follow-ups may be necessary to achieve optimal results.

• Keep your lips clean and hydrated every 45 minutes for 6 days by applying A&D ointment or Vaseline with a clean Q-tip (no fingers). Reapply as needed, especially during the first 24 hours. No touching or picking the protective layer as it heals.

• Use a straw for drinks and avoid biting into foods that may irritate your lips for 5 days.

• Keep dry for 5 days (no sweating, swimming, or saunas). Avoid getting the area wet during showers and face cleansing.

• Apply ointment before brushing your teeth and use minimal toothpaste (no mouthwash) for 5 days.

• No kissing, smoking, or lipstick for 7 days.

• Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks.

• No lip filler or beauty treatments for 4 weeks.
