Lip Neutralization procedure by Maya Louredo
Micropigmentation
Lip neutralization is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure designed to neutralize darker or unwanted tones in the lips, resulting in a more balanced and pinkish color. This technique addresses tones such as brownish, bluish, or violet by applying a customized pigment using a fine needle to correct and balance the lip color.
The procedure is tailored to each client’s unique lip tone, aiming to achieve a natural and harmonious pinkish hue. The process typically takes about 2 hours, with a pre-numbing cream applied to ensure comfort throughout the session.
Follow-up sessions are generally required to perfect the results. Most clients need one or two sessions, but in some cases, up to four sessions may be necessary to achieve the ideal color balance. These additional sessions help refine the results and ensure optimal outcomes.
The results of the Lip Neutralization procedure typically last between 13 to 20 months, depending on factors such as aftercare, skin type, and lifestyle. All necessary products for the healing process care will be provided.

LIP NEUTRALIZATION FOR CLIENTS WITH COLD SORE HISTORY For clients with a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), the lip blush procedure can potentially trigger an outbreak due to the trauma to the lip area. To minimize this risk, it’s important to take preventive measures: Instructions for Clients with a History of Herpes: Consultation with a Doctor : Before undergoing the lip blush procedure, consult with your doctor for advice and to request an antiviral medication prescription, such as acyclovir or valacyclovir. Antiviral Medication: Begin taking the prescribed antiviral medication at least 2 days before the procedure and continue for at least 5-7 days post-procedure. This helps prevent a cold sore outbreak during the healing process. If an Outbreak Occurs: If a cold sore develops, keep the area clean and apply any recommended antiviral cream. Inform your technician immediately if a breakout happens, as this can affect the healing process and color retention. Aftercare for Herpes-Prone Clients: Follow standard aftercare procedures, including applying healing ointment and keeping the lips clean. Avoid touching the lips and refrain from any activities that might increase the risk of infection or irritation (such as sun exposure, swimming, or using makeup on the lips). Taking these precautions significantly reduces the chance of an outbreak, allowing for smooth healing and better color retention.
