Lip pigmentation
In our salon we offer different lip pigmentation treatments. All treatments make the lips look optically fuller, but there is a difference in the end result;
Blush lips
With the blush lips treatment we lightly color the lips for a natural look, giving you a lovely shade.
Lip contour
With the lip contour treatment we take a colour slightly darker than the natural lip colour and draw a line over the natural outline of the lips.
Full lips
With the full lips treatment we fully color the lips in the colour you’d like. In this way, we create a lipstick effect. With all treatments, we color the lips with semi-permanent make-up. This technique is done with a PMU machine with a very thin needle. The effect remains visible for 2-4 years, after which you’ll need a touch-up treatment. With every treatment we we look at which colour/shape fits the face. Also, all our lip pigmentation treatments include a touch-up treatment.
The treatment step by step:
- We start with the intake interview and decide together which colour/shape suits your face. The treatment takes an average of 2-2,5 hours
- After we disinfect, we start with the pre-drawing. We pay a lot of attention to this, so you get an image of the end result. There is still time to discuss any adjustments. When we’re both 100% satisfied with the sketch, we start with the semi-permanent make-up
- The road to perfect lips has started!
- Immediately after the treatment, the lips look a bit dark and swollen. Don’t be scared, after 38-hours the lips aren’t swollen anymore and the colour decreases at least 50% cause the skin has to heal
- The colour may change over the next 3 weeks, although it seems like they healed already
- After a minimum of 6 weeks we see each other again for a touch-up treatment. During the treatment we look at the result together and fix the colour & shape with another layer of semi-permanent make-up
