How we will create your perfect lip colour enhancement

​

STEP 1: All new services include a complimentary consultation, we recommend bringing some favourite lip colour products to assist us with understanding your aesthetic goals. Based on this, we will recommend the perfect technique.

We are always aiming for a natural looking healed outcome.

STEP 2: Next we map then custom colour blend, we ensure that you LOVE the shape and colour before we proceed.

Please be aware that during the healing phase (4-7 days) your lip colour will look much darker than desired. We are always more conservative with the first treatment, so that there is room to go darker or bolder at the touch up. A perfecting visit is recommended at 8-12 weeks (AUD 159)
