Lip Pigmentation & Permanent Lipstick

Get away from the mirror and on with your day – no more smudging, smearing or having to reapply lipstick all the time!

Lip blushing and permanent lipstick allows you to wake up with picture- perfect, beautifully shaped and flushed lips without applying a stitch of lip color! Fans of lip pigmentation rave about the natural-looking results and time-saving benefits.

Many women enjoy lip color, but don’t like the problems associated with conventional lip liner and lipstick. Traditional makeup smudges, fades and cracks, drawing unwanted attention to unattractive wrinkles around the mouth. As we age, we tend to lose our natural lip color and shape due to maturing skin, hormonal changes, and scarring.

Lip Pigmentation and Permanent Lipstick is for anyone who wants a pretty lip that lasts. Add color back to a faded vermillion border, correct subtle asymmetries in your lip shape, and give the lip an enhanced or minimized fullness for a beautiful smile that fits with your busy lifestyle. Add a shapely cupids bow for the icing on the cake, and the end result is a more confident you with a youthful pout enhanced with the color of your choice.

Results

Results last anywhere from 1 – 5 years, depending on type of procedure, your skin type and your health. Your post-procedure care is also important for lasting pigmentation.

The average time for a touch up is 1 – 3 years.

* Bring lip stick or lip pencil to your appointment to help determine desired lip color
