A full session includes a personalized consultation, design mapping, topical numbing, precise pigment application, and detailed aftercare instructions. Typical appointment lasts 60–90 minutes; a follow-up touch-up at six to eight weeks ensures optimal color and symmetry.

Results typically last 12–24 months, varying by skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Lip skin regenerates quickly, so annual refreshers are common. We recommend a color boost every 12–18 months to maintain vibrancy and definition.

Most clients describe minimal discomfort; we use medical-grade topical numbing before and during the procedure to maximize comfort. Sensitivity varies, but techniques are gentle and breaks are given as needed to ensure a calm, controlled experience.

Ideal candidates seek subtle color, improved symmetry, and lasting definition. Not recommended if pregnant, nursing, or actively healing cold sores. A consultation assesses medical history, medication use, and realistic expectations before scheduling the treatment.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, aspirin, and intense exercise 48 hours before your appointment. Discontinue topical retinoids and limit sun exposure. If you have a history of cold sores, consult us — antiviral prophylaxis may be advised.

Expect mild swelling and tenderness for 24–72 hours, with light scabbing and color softening during the first two weeks. Keep lips clean and moisturized, avoid picking, sun exposure, and swimming. Full healed color appears after the six- to eight-week touch-up.
