Best for

  • Cool, purplish, or overall dark undertones

Before Care

Do

  • Stay well-hydrated the day before and on the day.

  • Have a light meal beforehand; bring your favorite lip balm.

  • Come with clean lips—no tint/stain the day of.

  • Share medical history, sensitivities, and past lip tattoo with your artist.

  • History of cold sores (HSV)? Ask your physician about prophylaxis.

  • Bring reference photos for preferred brightness/softness.

Avoid

  • No alcohol or recreational drugs for 24 hours prior.

  • Avoid excess caffeine on the day of service.

  • No retinoids/acids or harsh exfoliants on lips for 5–7 days.

  • No sunburn/tanning; avoid laser/waxing on lips for 7 days.

After Care

Do

  • Keep lips clean & lightly dry for the first 24–48 hours.

  • Apply a thin layer of healing balm 2–3×/day—don’t over-coat.

  • Let flaking come off naturally; hands off.

  • Choose lukewarm drinks; a straw can help for the first couple of days.

  • Sleep on your back; use a clean pillowcase.

  • After peeling, use SPF balm outdoors.

Avoid

  • Sauna, steam, swimming, and heavy workouts for 48–72 hours.

  • Makeup/tints or strong actives on lips for 7 days.

  • Direct sun/UV; no tanning.

  • Kissing or friction until peeling is complete.

  • Picking/rubbing at any time.

  • HSV history? Follow your physician’s antiviral plan.

Color typically lightens then returns over 1–2 weeks; a perfecting session at 6–10 weeks refines the result.

FAQ — Lip Neutralization

Answers to the most common questions—from suitability and healing to longevity.

  • Best for cool, purplish, or overall dark undertones and uneven tone between upper/lower lip. Expect a sheer, natural result (not opaque lipstick).

  • Typically 1–2 years before a refresh, depending on metabolism, skincare, sun exposure, and baseline depth.

  • Day 1 can look brighter/darker; Days 3–7 usually flake and look lighter; color then “blooms” back softly. This is normal settling.

  • Plan for ~2–2.5 hours including consultation, mapping, neutralization, and aftercare review.

  • Most clients rate it mild to moderate. We use comfort-focused technique and approved topical numbing when appropriate.

  • Yes — the 6–10 week perfecting session refines brightness and fills tiny gaps after the initial settling.

  • Sometimes; many previous tattoos need lightening first. Send clear photos for assessment.

    • No alcohol for 24h; go easy on caffeine on the day.
    • No strong actives (retinoids/acids) on lips 5–7 days prior.
    • History of cold sores (HSV)? Ask your physician about prophylaxis.
