Understanding Dark Lip Neutralization
Dark lip neutralization, also known as lip lightening or lip correction, is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that uses specific pigments to neutralize dark tones in the lips.
Why Do People Get Dark Lip Neutralization?
There are 2 basic reasons why people have dark lips. The first one is genetics, i.e., ethnic lips. The second one is some type of trauma caused to the lips, for example, injury, lack of vitamins, hormone imbalance, certain medications, too much caffeine or smoking, etc.
Step-by-Step Process of Dark Lip Neutralization
Initial Consultation
The first step is a thorough FREE CONSULTATION with BrianBrows Experienced Technicians. During this session, you will discuss your expectations, potential risks, and any underlying medical conditions that might affect the treatment. BrianBrows’ Technician will examine your natural lip color, recommend suitable pigment shades for the neutralization process and also advise you how many sessions you need to take.
Pre-Procedure Preparation
On the day of the procedure, BrianBrows’ Technician will clean your lips and the surrounding area to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the treatment. This numbing agent needs about 20-30 minutes to take full effect.
Pigment Selection
The technician will custom-blend pigments to create a color that effectively neutralizes the dark tones in your lips. The goal is to achieve a natural and harmonious lip color.
Mapping and Outlining
Using a sterile, fine-tipped tool, our technician will outline the shape of your lips to ensure precision and symmetry. This step serves as a guide for the pigmentation process.
Pigmentation Process
The process might take 3 or more sessions depending on how dark your lips are. Our Technician will advise you during your consultation.
First Session: Neutralization
The initial session focuses on neutralizing and balancing the dark color of your lips. This step lightens the darker tones and enhances the natural lip color, shape, and symmetry. The treatment creates a subtle effect, rather than a saturated one, to ensure natural-looking results.
Second Session: Color Enhancement
The second session involves implanting pigment to add color to your lips, making them brighter and achieving your desired shade.
Third Session: Review and Touch-Up
The third session is dedicated to reviewing and touching up the lip color. This final step perfects the color and ensures it retains its vibrancy for 2-3.5 years.
The session typically takes 2-3 hours
Immediate Aftercare
Immediately following the procedure, your lips may appear slightly swollen and more intense in color. This is normal and will subside within a few hours to a couple of days. The technician will provide specific aftercare instructions, which usually include:
- Cleaning lips 4-5 times a day, especially after eating
- Regularly applying a recommended healing balm.
- Avoid picking or scratching the lips during the healing process.
Healing Process
Over the next few weeks, your lips will go through a healing process. Initially, the color may appear darker, then lighten as the skin heals and the pigment settles. Following the aftercare guidelines is crucial for optimal results.
Touch-Up Session
A follow-up session is typically scheduled 6-8 weeks after the initial treatment. During this appointment, BrianBrows’ Technician will assess the healed results and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the perfect lip color.
Long-Term Care and Maintenance
Dark lip neutralization results can last anywhere from 2 to 3.5 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Annual touch-ups may be needed to maintain the desired lip color. Additionally, protecting your lips from excessive sun exposure and keeping them moisturized will help prolong the results.
Conclusion
Dark lip neutralization is a transformative procedure that can significantly enhance your natural beauty by correcting lip discoloration and creating a more uniform lip tone. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy beautifully balanced lips for years to come. If you're considering this treatment, consult with a qualified technician to ensure safe and satisfying results.
