What is Lip Neutralization Treatment?
Lip neutralization treatment is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that corrects the colour and tone of the lips by depositing pigment into the skin with a fine needle. It’s ideal for individuals who have dark, uneven, or discoloured lips, or who want to achieve a more natural and balanced lip colour.
Why Lip Neutralization Treatment?
Lip neutralization treatment is a popular option for individuals who want to achieve realistic and long-lasting lips, without the hassle of daily makeup application or maintenance. Lip neutralization treatment can also improve the appearance of the lips, by creating a more harmonious contrast with the skin and teeth.
The Treatment Procedure
The lip neutralization treatment procedure consists of the following steps:
- Consultation: A healthcare provider will assess your skin type, medical history, and aesthetic goals, and design a customised lip colour for you, based on the colour wheel theory and the Fitzpatrick scale.
- Preparation: You will be advised to avoid certain medications, supplements, and alcohol for a few days before the treatment, and to arrive with a clean and moisturised face.
- Numbing: A topical anaesthetic cream will be applied to your lip area, to minimise any discomfort during the procedure.
- Lip Neutralization: The provider will use a machine with a fine needle, to apply a layer of pigment over your lips, creating a soft and natural effect. The pigment will be deposited into the superficial layer of the skin, neutralizing the unwanted undertones of your lips.
- Aftercare: You will be given detailed instructions on how to care for your lips after the treatment, such as avoiding water, sun exposure, and makeup for the first week, and applying a healing ointment regularly. You will also be scheduled for a touch-up session after 4 to 6 weeks, to perfect the results and ensure longevity.
Benefits of Lip Neutralization Treatment
The lip neutralization treatment offers several benefits, such as:
- Improved Appearance: Lip neutralization treatment can enhance the colour, shape, and volume of your lips, giving you a more defined, expressive, and attractive look.
- Time-Saving: Lip neutralization treatment can save you time and money on daily lip makeup, as you will wake up with perfect lips every day, without the need for lipsticks, liners, or glosses.
- Long-Lasting: Lip neutralization treatment can last up to 18 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. You can also refresh the colour and shape with periodic touch-ups.
Potential Side Effects
While generally safe, lip neutralization treatment can cause some side effects, such as:
- Pain and Bleeding: During the procedure, which can be reduced with numbing cream and pressure.
- Swelling and Redness: After the procedure, which usually subside within a few days.
- Scabbing and Flaking: As the skin heals, which can be prevented with proper moisturising and avoiding picking or scratching.
- Infection and Allergic Reactions: Which are rare, but require immediate medical attention.
