What is lip micropigmentation?
Lip micropigmentation, also known as semi-permanent lip makeup or lip blush, corrects imperfections or asymmetries, enhances the lips and brings harmony and balance to the face. It can also give darker lips a better color. It lasts about 2 years.
We use oil-based pigments made of very small particles, which must be hypoallergenic.
You'll see the design beforehand and choose the shade you prefer.

Is it a tattoo?
It's similar, but in the end, no.
Micropigmentation is done with a dermograph whose needles implant pigment in a specific area just below the first layer of the skin.
Some professionals don't consider it a permanent treatment, but it is a long-lasting (1 to 2 years) and very practical solution for anyone who wants to stop applying lip color every day. How long it lasts depends on several factors, such as the quality of the pigments used, skin type and the person's age.

What you should know about lip micropigmentation and aftercare
- For the hours after the procedure, the lip area will be swollen and red. The color can also look stronger during the first week, because the area is healing.
- Don't expose yourself to the sun or tanning beds for the first month to month and a half. The treated area is sensitive and could develop hyperpigmentation and/or lesions.
- The needle stays in a more superficial layer of the skin, so it hurts less than a tattoo and you'll only feel a pricking sensation. We also use topical numbing on the area to reduce discomfort.

Tips and aftercare after lip micropigmentation
For a good result, follow this aftercare for 30 days:
• For the first 15 days, apply the recommended cream every 3 hours (vitamin A/D) to keep the area moisturized and minimize scabbing. For the following 15 days, apply it twice a day.
• Protect your lips from anything that could irritate them.
• Avoid exposing the area to strong sunlight.
• Avoid chlorinated water (pools, hot tubs, spas, etc.), since the treated area is vulnerable and should not be exposed to possible infectious agents.
• Avoid exercise that makes you sweat for at least the first 2 days after the treatment.
• Avoid saunas, public pools, beaches and other risk areas for at least the first 2 weeks.
• Avoid sunbathing, solariums or tanning for 4 weeks.
• Don't use makeup or lipstick on your lips.
• In general, don't use cosmetics on the treated area for 20 days.
