Tattoo is made in clinic with special apparatus with disposable pigment caps and needles using special hypoallergic pigments. Pigments are suspensions of particles with 6 micron diameter that are made on vegetative or mineral base.

Local anesthesia is applied before the procedure.

Duration of lip tattoo procedure is 1.5 to 2 hours. Skin displays inflammatory reaction on pigment as a foreign body, therefore up to 70% of pigment is lost during the period of rehabilitation. Because of this correctional procedure is performed virtually in all cases approximately in a month after the first procedure. 

Period of rehabilitation

Tattoo is a surgical procedure that hurts top skin layer. Therefore this procedure requires special preparation and a period of rehabilitation. Patients that are inclined to herpetic reactions undergo prophylaxis with antiherpetic preparations during 5-7 days before the procedure.

During the first couple of weeks after the procedure antiherpetic preparations alternating with antibiotics are applied on the tattoo area. After the end of peeling doctor examines lip condition and performs contour correction if necessary.

Restylane injection

The preparation is injected in clinic with sterile disposable instruments. One or several intracutaneous injections are made around the lip contour. Injection procedure duration is 30-40 minutes.

Preliminary tests

Preliminary tests are not necessary because Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid that is a natural component of human skin. Hyaluronic acid in Restylane has synthetic origin (i.e. does not contain animal materials) and high level of refinement, therefore it does not cause allergic reactions.

Rehabilitation period

The procedure does not require special rehabilitation measures. There is a possibility of bruises appearance and it could be necessary to mask them for up to one week with the help of make-up.

Cosmetic tattoo (permanent make-up)

What is cosmetic tattoo?

Cosmetic tattoo is the procedure of injection of coloring substances into skin. The difference with usual tattoo is that they are injected not as deep and blood vessels and nerve endings are not hurt during the procedure.

Cosmetic tattoo is recommended for patients with diffused and indistinct lip contour by nature and for those who want to accentuate and emphasize their lips or correct light asymmetry.

Doctor chooses individual colors together with patient depending on hair color and skin type. The patient always makes the final decision. Contour of future tattoo is made with a special pencil and pigment is injected into skin with an appliance.

Procedure result

Correct lip contour that remains for up to 5 years. Unlike common make-up, permanent one sustains heat, rain and snow, and also swimming in the seawater. It helps to save time and feel confident in any situation.

Procedure painfulness

During pigment application the patient feels tingling. Anesthesia is applied before the procedure to keep unpleasant sensations at minimum.

Side effects and risk

If the patient neglects prophylactic use of antiherpetic preparations, there is a possibility of appearance of herpetic skin rash on the lips and disappearance of pigment on these spots. It makes correction procedure longer and more extensive.

Procedure limitations

Tattoo can outline lip contour and slightly enlarge lip volume visually. However, significant increase of lip volume is possible only with injections of special preparations.
