What is permanent lip makeup, the essence of tattooing, approximate prices

Permanent lip makeup (with shading; the entire process takes about two hours) corrects the mouth’s natural shape by introducing a permanent coloring pigment into the tissue through tiny punctures.

In addition to changing the look of your lips with a seductive sheen and plumpness, getting a tattoo can cover up birth defects like cleft lips, asymmetry, and scars.

The paint is applied during the process using numerous tiny, frequent injections that are made between 0.3 and 0.8 mm deep.

Materials with a low concentration of synthetic chemical compounds mixed with natural mineral components are used to make makeup. Permanent makeup shares many traits with tattooing, but the degree to which coloring pigments pierce the skin is different.

Following the procedure, a woman has plump, vibrant lips with defined edges; the client determines the desired color. The makeup eventually fades and, after four to six years, the keratinized layer of skin also vanishes. The qualities of execution and the attributes of the body determine how long wear will last.

When applying permanent makeup:

• to restore the contour, brightness of the lips after 45 years of age;
• to correct appearance flaws (cleft lip, very thin volume, asymmetry after herpes);
• to visually enlarge the shape of the mouth;
• if you do not want to constantly apply lipstick;
• as a way to get rid of traces and smudges left by decorative cosmetics.

The area, clinic, and cosmetologist’s credentials all affect the procedure’s cost:

Type of procedure	Price
Simple contour correction	from 5,000 rubles.
Tattoo with shading	from 6,500 rubles.
Permanent makeup with full filling	from 8,000 rubles.
3D effect	from 80,000 rubles.
Watercolor permanent	from 6,000 rubles.
Ombre effect	from 8,000 rubles.
Correction	from 3,000 rubles.

Permanent lip color and shape enhancement with shading is a cosmetic procedure that gives the appearance of fuller lips naturally without the need for daily makeup application. Soft shading and the application of semi-permanent pigment are the techniques used to achieve a more blended and subtle effect. With very little maintenance, the results can endure for several years. This post will cover costs, include before and after pictures of the procedure, and offer practical advice for anyone thinking about getting this treatment.

Advantages and disadvantages

Permanent lip makeup comes with a number of benefits and drawbacks. When done correctly, shading creates the appearance of slightly erased lipstick on the lips.

The application of pigmentation

• to give clear contours and swelling;
• to avoid constantly applying gloss;
• if you want to avoid leaving traces and smudges from lipstick;
• for visual correction of imperfections in the shape of the mouth;
• to create a well-groomed, bright image;

The following are some of the procedure’s drawbacks:

• the inability to change the created appearance for a long time;
• high cost of the procedure;
• mandatory correction after a certain time;
• high pain of the session;
• long recovery period;
• the need for special care of the skin of the lips after tattooing.

Contraindications to tattooing

Permanent lip makeup is applied using a variety of techniques, chosen based on the woman’s preferences and the current problem. With shading, contour lining, or 3D effect, it is possible to create bright, sexy lips, completely correcting the defect of the mouth structure.

With full filling

A well-liked method for giving the lips the appearance of having bright lipstick and gloss on them all the time.

In order to slightly lighten the middle, the cosmetologist paints the entire subcutaneous surface of the mouth during the procedure. Full filling helps to correct the shape and contour of the lips while adding shine and volume. The woman doesn’t require makeup after the surgery.

Contour with shading

A neutral method using a coloring pigment in a shade close to nude. A chemical is applied to the lip contour by the doctor during the procedure, and the pigment is then evenly shaded over the entire volume, leaving the middle unpainted. The lips are given the required plumpness; they have the appearance of lipstick that has been slightly removed.

Only contour

A permanent makeup variation where the paint is limited to the mouth’s contour. Such tattooing only adds to the appearance of clarity; it doesn’t alter shape or add fullness; instead, it resembles a pencil outline. Women over 45 most often request this kind of surgery in order to reverse age-related changes (drooping corners of the mouth).

Watercolor

Applying a pigment in a natural shade and then shading it is called makeup. This tattoo gives the lips a glossy appearance rather than drawing the lips’ contour. Pink or nude paint is used for it.

Natural light kohl

In order to enhance the lips’ natural shape, the surgeon uses paint to create a thin line behind the mouth. Such cosmetics only adds visual plumpness, enhancing the shape that nature has already given, not correcting the shape.

Ideal mouth structure only, as it accentuates any flaws that already exist.

3D effect

Permanent cosmetics that simulate well-applied, smoothly transitioning color on lips. Two or three complementary hues from the same color family are used.

The entire volume of the mouth is painted beneath the skin.

The edges are brightened, while the center is given a softer tone. There are two stages to the process. In the first session, a clear outline is made, and in the second, coloring material is filled into tissues.

Ombre

The coloring method known as iridescence is characterized by gentle color changes. A tonal palette consisting of five shades with varying brightness is used to create it. The middle portion of the mouth is painted a light hue, and as the pigment gets closer to the lips’ edge, its saturation progressively increases, giving the appearance of vivid lipstick.

The transitions’ edges are shaded. The lips can acquire a rich shade, shine, visual seductiveness, and plumpness by choosing the right colors.

Preparation for the procedure

Permanent lip makeup necessitates advance preparation, as does shading and contouring. It is required to take Acyclovir orally once daily for seven days prior to the session in order to prevent herpes. All individuals, including women who have not previously experienced viral pathologies, ought to take the tablets.

If precautions are not taken, herpes blisters will develop in the micropunctures on the third or fourth day as a result of severe skin trauma and lowered immunity.

The virus can "eat" the coloring pigment, which means that after the rash develops, "white spots" will appear where the previous formations were, destroying the entire tattoo in addition to the aesthetic defect. Additionally, the medication must be taken for three days following the completion of makeup.

Apart from Acyclovir, on the day prior to the session, you should abstain from consuming:

• tea;
• coffee;
• carbonated lemonade;
• seafood.

The food and beverages listed above thin the blood, which can cause complications when punctures are done. Moreover, aspirin is prohibited. Physicians strongly advise taking a preventive course of "Immunal" and vitamin C to artificially boost immunity prior to permanent makeup application.

Permanent makeup is not advised for those with:

• oncological neoplasms;
• bronchial asthma;
• diabetes;
• liver and kidney dysfunction;
• blood clotting problems;
• herpes;
• acute respiratory infections accompanied by fever;
• HIV infection;
• dermatitis or any other skin rashes;
• mental or nervous disorders.

You ought not to get a lip tattoo:

• pregnant women;
• nursing mothers;
• girls during their period.

Only cosmetologists in a sterile beauty salon room apply permanent makeup. Self-application of coloring pigment under the skin is strictly prohibited.

Execution technique

It is only permitted to get a lip tattoo in a salon or clinic. The room and its equipment must be completely sterile for the procedure to take place.

Steps in the procedure:

1. Drawing up a sketch and drawing it. During a conversation with the client, the cosmetologist determines the makeup technique, the color scheme suitable for the patient, decides how to remove problems that require correction.
2. Applying a sketch to the lips, treating the contour with a disinfectant, fixing it with pinpoint incisions.
3. Administering anesthesia. Anesthetic ointment or gel is placed in the created punctures to block the nerve endings.
4. Introduction of coloring pigment with a machine under the skin to a depth of 0.4-0.8 mm.
5. Shading of makeup, erasing clear boundaries when creating an ombre technique or 3D effect.
6. Application of a soothing and disinfecting gel or balm.

The session lasts anywhere from one to three hours. The two-stage, three-dimensional tattooing and ombre processes take the longest. Following permanent makeup, the lips swell significantly and develop a crust that eventually dries out and falls off.

Result after the procedure and care

The lips need to be carefully cared for after permanent makeup:

• In the first days, a brown crust appears at the site of the incisions, drying up and disappearing after 2-3 days. Instead, a white film forms on the lips, which cannot be wetted or removed due to the risk of infection with the herpes virus.
• If the injured area turns blue and swells, it is necessary to wash it with Miramistin (Chlorhexidine) and treat it with Bepanten ointment. The cream is applied pointwise, with a cotton swab, you cannot lubricate the mouth with your fingers. From the 2nd-3rd day, the disinfectant treatment is stopped. The ointment must still be applied 2-3 times a day.

Within seven days of the tattoo’s creation, you are not allowed to:

• eat fatty, salty, fried, spicy food, coffee and alcohol;

• eat hot or cold food;
• wash with tap water (only cool, boiled);
• sunbathe, visit a sauna, pool, gym;
• swim in open water;
• kiss;
• apply makeup;
• remove protective crusts from wounds yourself.

You are not allowed to drink anything after applying such makeup, touch your lips to the glass’ edges (except with a straw), or take UV baths. Every prepared meal needs to be served hot. Apply utmost caution when cleaning your teeth. White spots may appear on the skin as a result of toothpaste eroding the pigment.

The lips might stay swollen for five days, and the puncture site might turn blue.

The bright pigmentation makes the mouth appear unnatural right after the procedure. The skin will fully recover in 6-7 days, and makeup will take on the appropriate sheen and color. Summertime is not the best time to get permanent makeup done because of the increased risk of infection and the intensity of UV radiation.

Potential complexities:

• Heat. Most often, an increase in temperature is caused by the reaction of the body to pain and stress. In most cases, the condition is normalized independently.
• Inflammatory process (suppuration) in the field of punctures. The problem is treated with ointment levomekol, applied with a cotton wool of 3-do.
• The appearance of itching. An unpleasant symptom may be associated with the healing process or indicate an infection. In the second case, a fever joins item.
• Herpes. It occurs on 2-3 days after the procedure when neglecting preventive measures (Acyclovir).

If side effects manifest, consult a doctor right away.f

Correction of lip tattooing and its frequency

Makeup correction is done every three to six years or when the results are not satisfactory. The area that has to be corrected determines how long the work will take.

Remedial measures are implemented:

• In case of obtaining the final shade of the lips, which does not suit the client. Makeup is fixed after 5 hours. Before this, the color can be significantly brighter.
• In case of distortion of asymmetry, resulting from the blurring of tissues under the influence of anesthetic gel.
• In case of uneven distribution of coloring pigment or unclearly painted contour.
• In case of an error made by the master.

During the correction, the specialist performs pointwise actions or repeatedly tattoos the areas that have been admittedly defective.

Method:

• creation of a sketch and its imposition on the contour;

• fixation of the drawing with incisions;
• anesthesia;
• filling the skin with a coloring substance through micro-punctures;
• application of a soothing, disinfecting gel or balm.

The severity of the flaw determines when corrective action is needed:

• Distorted contour, asymmetry are corrected 1 month after tissue healing.
• Medical error or unsatisfactory result are corrected with the help of repeated tattooing 1-3 months after the end of the 1st procedure.
• Makeup update is carried out after 4-6 years.

Tissues take around a month to fully heal after correction. A laser can be used to remove permanent makeup at the client’s request. The rays used in the procedure eliminate pigmentation while sparing healthy skin.

Minor marks and scars that result from laser contact can be eliminated with a cosmetic tool.

By applying permanent lip makeup, you can enhance the appearance of your mouth by giving it the proper volume and contour. You can try on the likeness of a femme fatale and create a chic ombre decor, or you can do a tattoo with shading to create a glossy shine effect.
