Lip Permanent Makeup

Why waste time applying makeup when there is a permanent makeup option so you can focus on more important things in life?

When the natural lip color is lost or more definition is needed, lip pmu will fill the lips with the color you choose to brighten your look. Lip blush is a gentle procedure to redefine your lips with a soft, natural color to bring freshness and youthfulness to your face. Lips are colored evenly throughout and are customized based on your lip's skin tone and desired outcome. As a result, you will enjoy a lipstick-free, vibrant, and polished appearance.

Your session begins with evaluating your skin, facial features, and goals to determine the best outcome. Then, using a pencil, I will outline your lips and, after your approval, deposit the pigment into your skin. The anesthetics are used before and during the procedure to ensure comfort. The session takes about 2 hours, depending on the desired look. Immediately after the treatment, the color will appear bright but fade 40-60%. Color boosts are recommended every 1 to 3 years.
