The Aquarell Lips treatment takes between 2-3 hours in the first session. After an in-depth consultation, we mix the perfect, bespoke color and draw the most suitable and flattering lip shape for you. If you wish, an effective anaesthetic cream can be applied so that any pain you might feel during the treatment will be minimized. But don’t worry: 80% of our clients don’t need any numbing anyway!
Then the application begins. As with all permanent make-up, special sterile needles are used. These needles, depending on your lip structure and shape, are injected within 0.3-0.5 millimeters of the skin, where they place the selected color pigments.
Permanent lip coloring is in fact similar to traditional tattoo techniques; however, the needle does not go as deeply as in the tattooing process. Moreover, the shading technique is unique for lips and important to achieve the light and natural result we want!
Important before the procedure:
- Please take good care of your lips, hydrate and peel them 1-2 days before the appointment!
- Bring in your favorite lipstick or a picture of a color you like on the day of your appointment.
- Skin must be in good condition (no blemishes directly on the lips, herpes, eczema, etc.) If there is a tendency to herpes, a doctor should be contacted. For this purpose, the intake of aciclovir before and after the treatment is urgently required in order to guarantee perfect healing. L-lysine also helps prevent flare-ups and is an over-the-counter dietary supplement.
- Do not take any blood-thinning medication (e.g. aspirin, Advil or similar).
- Avoid coffee, alcohol and nicotine in the hours before the treatment.
- Arnica Globules, started a few days before the treatment, will help with healing.
Please do not plan anything important or any sport activities for the day of the treatment, as redness and swelling may occur.
Note: Increased bleeding and sensitivity to pain during periods!
