HEALING PROCESS OF PERMANENT LIP MAKE-UP

Lipblushing is an advanced PMU technique, so it’s important to do your research before choosing an artist.
Inexperienced artist might make the wrong pigment selection, implant it too deep or lose the sketch during work, which will result in unevenness, undesired color and patchiness. The wrong depth of implantation and cheap numbing agent might lead to discomfort and excessive swelling during the procedure.
Pay attention to live reviews and the cleanliness of the studio.
A good specialist always tells clients the details of the procedure, warns about possible risks and takes time explaining the post-care.
Now let’s talk about the healing process. Full healing is considered ~4 weeks.

At this time, you should still treat your lips with care and protection.
