The healing process of the lip color

- Day 1-2: You will love your new lip color!

Your lip color is going to appear brighter than how it will look when it heals completely. Your lips are also going to feel swollen and tender. Your color too, is going to begin to darken temporarily throughout the day as the pigment oxidizes.

- Day 3-14: Swelling will finish

Your lips are going to feel dry and the flaking process is going to start. Make sure you allow the shedding process to happen naturally. As your lips continue to flake, it will appear as if your color is very light and ‘frosty’. This is only temporary as your lips will still be healing. Over the next several days, your lip color is going to reappear until it fully blooms.

- Day 28-42: It is time for your follow up

By this time, your lips are fully healed and it is recommended that you come back in to touch up any color that might have healed too light or at all imperfectly. Application of the second layer of new color is going to build off of your previous color, creating a more saturated and longer-lasting lip. During this appointment, you also have the opportunity to further adjust the shape if desired.
