How the procedure goes

The application of permanent makeup begins with a consultation, the choice of technique, discussion of the desired results.

Preparation

At the stage of preparation, people prone to herpes rashes, it is better to take antiviral drugs. It is necessary to avoid taking drugs that thin the blood. The same effect is produced by alcohol, which should be avoided for several days before an appointment with a cosmetologist.

After consultation and decision on the technique, the beautician will prepare the client to begin the procedure. There will be conducted antiseptic treatment and anesthetics.

Procedure

The beautician draws a preliminary drawing with a special marker, the patient is convinced of the correctness of the chosen shape. If everything is in order, you can begin.

It takes about 2 hours to apply a lip permanent in the lip area. After the anesthetic kicks in, the first lines are drawn. The application can be done manually or by machine. Once the process is complete, the lips are once again treated with a decontaminating agent. In the end, a healing agent is applied, which does not need to be washed off, it will help accelerate healing and get the best result.

Technique

There are two ways of applying permant to the lips - contouring and filling. The beautician tells the client at the stage of consultation in detail the essence of each technique, shows photos of past works and gives advice on the choice, based on individual characteristics.

Contour tattooing is carried out on the border of the lips. It gives a clear outline and smoothes out asymmetry. The contour allows you to visually change the volume. The lip line becomes clear and looks expressive.

Stretch is a type of contouring tattoo. The master draws lines on the lips, similar to the art of shading. This drawing technique allows you to add visual effects, change the volume and make the desired shape. The resulting effect is comparable to 3D.

The filler method of pigment application affects the entire surface of the lips. The color varies depending on the wishes of the client. It can be the most natural or more saturated.

Watercolor tattooing is a technique called permanent without contours. For watercolor application, delicate natural shades are chosen. The lips become beautiful, the surface glossy and moisturized. The result is similar to applying a lip balm or lip gloss, while the color remains natural.

Soreness

Before the introduction of the dye, an anesthetic is applied to the lips. It greatly reduces the discomfort of piercing and filling the puncture sites. Nevertheless, it is not possible not to feel the needle insertion at all. Painful sensations in some particularly sensitive areas are quite possible. According to customer feedback, these sensations are quite tolerable.

How long the procedure lasts

It should be remembered that the drawing of the lines of the lips and filling the entire surface can not be fast. The master carefully works on every millimeter, this is very important. Therefore, you need to adjust in advance that the time spent in the salon will range from 2 to 3 hours. Take into account the time for anesthesia and final procedures, as well as the difference in the complexity of the work.

Healing and care

Immediately after leaving the salon, you can see that the lips have swelling and redness. The next day, the swelling subsides, but the crust begins to appear. It is very important not to disturb its integrity, it should fall by itself. No matter how long it takes. If the crust is damaged or you try to remove it, it can take up some of the pigment, which will disrupt the whole operation. Gaps will appear in the place of the removed crust, which do not contain pigment.

There are a number of general recommendations for care:

be sure to protect the lips from direct sunlight;
Do not visit saunas and baths, not desirable intensive sports training;
Continue to take medications that curb the development of herpes;
avoid spicy and hot food and drinks;
Do not drink alcohol for several days.

The final result will be seen after two to three weeks. During this time there will be a distribution of pigment. In some cases, a correction may be necessary. Most often, this occurs with impaired healing, or in the case of herpes. Then the contour in the damaged areas loses pigment and will need to be restored. Correction gives the lips a finished look.

With proper care, the result will delight the wearer for two to three years. Permanent makeup is a great solution for those who want to look stunning at any time of the day or night.
