Permanent lip makeup typically lasts about 1 to 3 years, depending on various factors such as skin type, aftercare, and individual healing processes. The colors fade over time, so a touch-up may be necessary to maintain the intensity.

Pain perception can vary from person to person. Many people find the procedure unpleasant, but not necessarily painful. A local anesthetic is usually applied before the treatment to minimize discomfort.

The healing time is usually about 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, mild swelling, redness, and a temporary scab may occur. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions given by your practitioner to ensure optimal healing.

Keep the treated areas clean and dry. Avoid exfoliating or irritating products. Your practitioner will give you specific aftercare instructions to follow for best results.

During the healing period, you should avoid using cosmetic products on the treated skin to prevent irritation or infection. Ask your practitioner for specific recommendations on cosmetic products that you can safely use.

Make sure you receive a thorough consultation and skin analysis. Avoid blood thinners like aspirin and alcohol for a few days before the treatment. Inform your practitioner about any allergies and current medications.

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks such as infection, allergic reactions, or uneven results. An experienced and qualified practitioner can minimize these risks. It is important to discuss all risks and expectations beforehand.
