Lip Tinting, also known as lip blush or lip tattooing, is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that enhances the natural colour, shape, and definition of the lips. This technique uses a digital machine or manual method to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin, creating a soft, natural-looking tint.

  1. Purpose:
    • Enhances the natural lip colour.
    • Defines the lip shape and corrects minor asymmetry.
    • Gives the appearance of fuller, more youthful lips without the use of fillers.
  2. Technique:
    • A professional applies a semi-permanent pigment tailored to the client’s desired shade.
    • The procedure uses fine needles to deposit colour, similar to a tattoo but less invasive.
  3. Duration:
    • The results last between 2-3 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and maintenance.
    • A touch-up session, typically 6-8 weeks after the initial treatment, may be required to perfect the results.
  4. Process:
    • Consultation: The practitioner discusses colour choices and the desired look.
    • Preparation: A numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
    • Application: The pigment is carefully deposited in layers to achieve a natural gradient effect.
    • Healing: The lips may appear darker initially, with colour softening as the area heals over 5-10 days.
  5. Suitability:
    • Ideal for those with pale, uneven, or discoloured lips.
    • Not recommended for individuals prone to cold sores unless precautions (antiviral medications) are taken.
  6. Aftercare:
    • Avoid spicy foods, hot drinks, excessive sun exposure, and lip makeup during healing.
    • Keep the lips moisturized with recommended balms or ointments.
    • Peeling is normal; avoid picking at the lips.
  7. Risks and Considerations:
    • Possible swelling, redness, or sensitivity immediately after the procedure.
    • Infections or allergic reactions can occur if hygiene standards are not met.
    • The results can fade unevenly over time, requiring maintenance.

Benefits:

  • Saves time on daily makeup application.
  • Creates a natural, “no-makeup” look.
  • Improves lip symmetry and enhances confidence.

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of eyebrows. It involves manually depositing pigment into the skin using a specialized handheld tool with fine, needle-like blades. The process creates hair-like strokes that mimic the natural look of eyebrow hairs, resulting in fuller and more defined brows.

  1. Technique:
    • The pigment is applied to the upper dermis layer of the skin.
    • Unlike traditional tattooing, microblading creates a softer and more natural appearance.
  2. Duration:
    • The effects of microblading typically last between 1-3 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
    • Touch-ups are often required every 6-18 months to maintain the desired look.
  3. Suitability:
    • Suitable for people with sparse, thinning, or uneven eyebrows.
    • Not ideal for individuals with very oily skin, as the pigment may not last as long.
  4. Process:
    • Includes an initial consultation to shape and design the brows based on facial features.
    • A numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
    • Aftercare involves avoiding water, makeup, and excessive sun exposure on the treated area for a specified period.
  5. Risks and Precautions:
    • Risks include skin irritation, allergic reactions, or infections if proper hygiene is not maintained.
    • It’s essential to choose a licensed and experienced professional for the procedure.

Benefits:

  • Saves time on daily makeup routines.
  • Provides a long-lasting solution for thin or uneven brows.
  • Enhances facial symmetry and overall appearance.
