Lip Stain

  • A: Lip Stain is a semi-permanent cosmetic treatment that enhances the natural color of your lips, giving them a brighter, more youthful appearance. This treatment uses a specialized serum to infuse pigments into the lips, resulting in a natural tint that lasts for several weeks.

  • A: The procedure involves the use of a nano-needling device to apply a specially formulated serum containing natural pigments, vitamins, and other nourishing ingredients to the lips, triggering a regeneration cycle and boosted collagen production.

If you want the effects to last longer, you can book more sessions done 2-4 weeks apart. With 2-4 sessions, the color can last out around 4 months, maybe even a bit longer, depending on how well your lips retain color and your care routine.

  • A: No! The needles of a nano-needling pen are extremely thin. The implementation depth is very shallow. Therefore, there’s no pain involved in the treatment, although you will feel some scratching, tingling, and vibrations of the machine.

  • A: While Lip Blush is a form of cosmetic tattooing, Lip Stains are a form of nano-needling. The 2 key differences are the depth of implementation and the formula of the product used.

The color in the Lip Stain serum is less pigmented, less dense – it’s not a cosmetic tattoo pigment, but rather a tinted serum. Lip Blush is done with a more concentrated formula, a liquid pigment.

    Since the implementation depth is more shallow, and since the color is much less concentrated, the effects of Lip Stain fade much quicker than Lip Blush, which can last for years.

It's also important to avoid smoking and drinking hot beverages immediately after the procedure.
