Achieve Your Ideal Lip Shade with Lip Neutralization at Eve Beauty

In order to prepare for the treatment, avoid taking the following medicines, substances and vitamins since they cause your blood to thin:

Aspirin

Ibuprofen

Alcoholic beverages

Caffeine (coffee and tea)

Retinol-based products

It is also vital to take anti-viral medication before your procedure if you’re prone to cold sores. They can appear due to the needles treatment and negatively affect the healing process.

What Does Lip Neutralization Aftercare Entail?

Your lips will be swollen and an intense shade after the procedure. The aftercare period lasts 5-7 days, during which you should do the following things:

Use Vaseline, balm or coconut oil to nourish your lips. Unless directed otherwise.

Gently clean them with a cotton pad and a little bit of water after every meal.

Don’t wear makeup on the lips for a week.

Avoid spicy food. It is also recommended to take beverages on a straw.

Do not rub, scratch and peel the area.

Don’t expose your lips to the sun, hot tubs, tanning beds, saunas, swimming pools.

Can I Wear Makeup After the Treatment?

Under no circumstances should you wear lipstick immediately after the treatment. You must wait until the healing period is over. Once your lips are not swollen anymore and all the scabs have fallen off, you can wear lipstick. Also, it is desirable not to wear any makeup in order to avoid it reaching the treated area and infecting it.

Be patient for at least a week and after that, you are free to apply makeup.

How Long Does the Healing Period Last?

The healing period lasts around one week. Your lips will be swollen at first and some scabbing will be involved. Also, the color will look too intense, but 50% of it will fade during the first week. It takes a little bit longer for the color to settle. During this period, you should religiously follow the tips your artist gave you, in order to avoid any discomfort during healing.

Lip Neutralization touch ups your skin type and your final goal. Annual touch-ups are recommended if you want to maintain the color as long as possible. Generally, we will set up a neutralization treatment plan to ensure the correct procedures and duration for your goal.

Once completed, people with oily skin should have a touch up every six months. Also, people whose skin is very often exposed to the sun and water might need to retouch their lip tattoo more often. The color on these types of skin is prone to faster fading.

Lip Neutralization is best for anyone who likes wearing lipstick or wants a lip blush but has a darker pigment or uneven tones in their lips. This ensures an even application of your final lip blushing procedure where we target your pigment goals instead of the previous color correcting with neutralization.

You should avoid or reconsider lip tattoo if you:

Are pregnant or nursing

Have hyperpigmentation

Use medicines that are known to be blood thinners

Have diabetes

Have psoriasis in the treated area

Have an auto-immune disease

You have anemia (pigment may not retain properly)

Have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring

Are undergoing chemotherapy

This involves addressing any natural pigmentation, unevenness, or discoloration in the lips. Sometimes, people have varying degrees of pigmentation across their lips, which can affect the final color outcome of the lip blush. Neutralization aims to create a consistent base color across the lips before applying the desired lip blush pigment. This can involve using specialized pigments or techniques to even out the lip tone.

By performing lip neutralization before applying lip blush, the technician ensures a more uniform and predictable outcome for the lip blush procedure. This allows for better control of the final color result and helps the pigment appear more vibrant and true to the desired shade.

Lip Neutralization is a safe procedure, if you choose a good artist and a good salon. A professional artist must use sterile equipment, disposable needles, and know their job. The artist must be aware of any skin conditions you might suffer from and warn you about side effects.

If you don’t break the aftercare rules and if you look after your lip tattoo carefully after the treatment, there is no need to worry.

Luckily, side effects are only short-termed and they usually involve:

Redness

Swelling

Peeling and scabs

Scaring (not very common)

This should all disappear within a week.

Lip area is very sensitive and it really sounds painful when you think about the fact that it is treated with a needle for an hour. However, a numbing cream is applied beforehand, in order to eliminate the pain. It is slightly uncomfortable.

One of the factors that affect the durability of permanent lipstick is your skin type. People with oily skin will need frequent touch-ups in order to maintain the color.

Your lifestyle plays an important part, too. If you do a sport where you sweat or swim a lot, it is more likely that your tattooed lips will start losing its color faster.

The way you treat your permanent lipstick will also affect its longevity. If you have frequent touch-ups, it will naturally last longer.

The treatment usually lasts 1-2 hours. It depends on the type of your skin. Some people are better candidates for lip tattoo, and the pigment is applied easily, while others don’t take the color so well. In that case, more pigment needs to be applied to those areas.

Even though it is called permanent makeup, it lasts for 3 to 5 years, after which the color will fade. This is because lips are a very exposed area, which affects fading. However, if you have regular touch-ups you can prolong your permanent lip blush and neutralization.

Under no circumstances should you wear lipstick immediately after the treatment. You must wait until the healing period is over.
