What is Lip Neutralising?
Lip Neutralising involves the application of specially formulated pigments using semi-permanent makeup techniques to even out discolouration and improve the overall appearance of your lips. This treatment can correct hyperpigmentation, particularly in individuals with darker lips, and it works by blending natural pigments into the lips to create a more balanced and even tone. Unlike traditional lip tattoos, Lip Neutralising focuses on colour correction rather than adding bold or dramatic shades.
How Much Does Lip Neutralising Cost?
At Faces By Bae, Lip Neutralising starts at £250.
How Many Sessions Are Needed for Lip Neutralising?
While some clients may see significant improvement after just one session, 1-3 sessions are typically recommended for optimal results, depending on the level of discolouration. Each session is spaced 6-8 weeks apart to allow for proper healing and pigment settling.
What is the Downtime for Lip Neutralising?
Lip Neutralising has minimal downtime. After the procedure, your lips may feel slightly swollen or sensitive for 1-2 days, and the colour will initially appear darker than the final result. This darkness will fade over the healing process, which typically takes about 7-10 days. Most clients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
How Long Does a Lip Neutralising Procedure Take?
A Lip Neutralising session at Faces By Bae takes around 90+ minutes.
What is the Pain Level for Lip Neutralising?
The discomfort during a Lip Neutralising treatment is minimal. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure your comfort, and most clients describe the sensation as light scratching or tingling rather than pain.
What Results Can I Expect from Lip Neutralising?
After your lip-neutralising treatment, you can expect:
More Even Lip Tone
A natural, balanced colour that blends seamlessly with your skin tone
Reduction in Discolouration:
Dark spots, patches, or uneven pigmentation will be corrected
Subtle Enhancement:
The results are natural and not overly dramatic, enhancing your lips’ appearance while maintaining their natural look
Are There Any Limitations to Lip Neutralising?
Lip Neutralising is an excellent solution for correcting discolouration and achieving a more even lip tone, but it may not provide the same bold, full-colour results as traditional lip tattooing. Those seeking a more intense, noticeable colour change may consider combining this treatment with Lip Blush treat offered at Faces By Bae.
What Aftercare is Required for Lip Neutralising?
To ensure the best results from your Lip Neutralising treatment, follow these aftercare guidelines
- Avoid direct sun exposure: For at least one week, as the skin on your lips will be more sensitive.
- Keep your lips hydrated: Use a gentle, fragrance-free balm to maintain moisture.
- Avoid picking or peeling the lips: As they heal, resist the temptation to touch or peel any dry skin.
At Faces By Bae, we provide you with a detailed aftercare plan tailored to your skin type and the results you want to achieve.
