What is Full Lip Micropigmentation?
About Full Lip Micropigmentation
Full Lip Micropigmentation or permanent makeup (PMU) is a revolutionary way to deliver hypoallergenic mineral pigments into the epidermis of the lip skin. With an ultra-thin, pigmented needle, the shape of the lips is enhanced. Micropigmentation is sometimes confused with cosmetic tattoos (e.g., eyebrow tattooing or eyeliner tattooing). However, pigments used for permanent makeup are inserted less deeply into the skin and have a different composition than tattoo ink. Micropigmentation devices are also more refined than tattoo machines, and the techniques used are also different.
Procedure
Full lip micropigmentation is a term that means pigmented implants that fill the entire area of your lips. This procedure will shape your lips, giving them a fuller and more even look.
First, the specialist will outline the contour around the lips with a cosmetic pencil according to your requirements in thickness/thinness. This step will help reshape the lips to better harmonize with the face if you have asymmetrical lips.
Then you choose the color you want. Many people prefer to choose colors close to their natural lip color. However, if you choose lighter and darker shades than your natural lip color, the effect will last longer.
The lip micropigmentation will perform cosmetic surgery quickly and painlessly using a unique device with a micro-needle tip. Technicians will insert the color pigment into the lip cuticle according to the outline shape made in step 1.
How long does the effect last?
Color fading may occur depending on the color pigment and your daily lip care. Usually, the effect of full lip micropigmentation will last for five years. Some people even give us feedback that their lip color has lasted ten years without fading too much.
Who’s suitable for it?
The full lip micropigmentation method is especially suitable for those who have thin lips and want to plump them up; those of you with poor lip pigmentation; or those who want to restore the lip shape due to aging. In our youth, our lips are soft, full, and have an excellent natural tone. As the aging process begins, we lose our lips’ shape, contour, fullness, and color.
