SEMI-PERMANENT MAKEUP · MOTI NAGAR, DELHI
Semi-permanent lip colour adds a soft tint to the lips so that they look evenly coloured without daily lipstick. At UK's Derma in Moti Nagar, Delhi, the shade, technique and suitability are discussed with you before anything is done.
In short: Lip colour is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that uses pigment placed in the skin, so it needs a careful consultation. The colour fades gradually, and the shade, healing and touch-ups vary from person to person.
In this treatment a fine needle deposits cosmetic pigment into the upper skin of the lips. The aim is a natural tint, often called lip blush, or a more defined outline, depending on what you prefer.
It is not permanent in the way a tattoo is described, because the colour fades over time, but it is long lasting, so shade choice matters. Fading also varies between people.
If you have a history of cold sores, tell the specialist, because treatment can trigger an outbreak and preventive medication may be advised.
The specialist examines the lips, asks about your medical history and helps you choose a shade. The lip shape is mapped, numbing cream is applied and the pigment is placed in gentle passes. Sterile, single-use needles should be used, and you can ask to see them opened.
Lips can look swollen and the colour looks stronger at first. Dryness and light flaking follow, and the shade settles to a softer tone as the lip heals. A follow-up touch-up may be suggested. Healing and final colour differ from person to person.
