Restore Harmony to Your Lips
Lip neutralization is a specialized permanent makeup procedure designed to correct uneven or discolored lips by neutralizing unwanted pigmentation. Whether your lips have dark or ashy tones, this treatment helps restore a soft, natural hue, giving you a balanced and refreshed appearance. The process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your unique lip color and desired outcome.
Our experts artists at Dermaluxe Spa then use a digital machine with fine needles to deposit pigment into the lips, carefully working to neutralize any discoloration while enhancing the natural lip shape. Depending on how dark the lips are, it may take several sessions to achieve the desired outcome, with treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. The result is a smooth, even-toned pout that looks natural and vibrant. This procedure is ideal for those with dark, uneven pigmentation or for anyone looking to enhance their lips with a long-lasting, natural tint.
Lip Neutralization
Lips in Perfect Harmony
This specialized treatment is designed to neutralize dark, melanin-rich lips, resulting in a lighter, warmer tone with soft, natural-looking results. By carefully correcting deep or uneven pigmentation, we help clients achieve a more balanced and vibrant lip color. This process is ideal for those who have naturally darker lips or experience hyperpigmentation and want a more even, enhanced appearance.
To ensure the best results, we begin with a comprehensive consultation where we assess your natural lip tone and undertones. Every client’s lips are unique, and achieving the perfect shade requires a customized approach. We meticulously formulate pigment blends that work with your natural untones, using color theory to neutralize darkness before adding the desired hue. Because of the complexity of pigment correction, this treatment often requires multiple sessions to gradually build and refine the color, ensuring a smooth, even outcome that looks natural.
If you’re considering this treatment, we recommend emailing us photos or scheduling a consultation so we can determine if you’re a suitable candidate.

After Your Lip Neutralization Appointment
Healing varies based on the individual and the area treated. Following the aftercare instructions provided to you on the day of your appointment is essential for optimal healing.
During the first 10 days of healing after getting permanent makeup, it’s important to avoid the following:
- Touching the Area: Avoid touching the treated area with your hands to prevent infection.
- Picking or Scratching: Do not pick, scratch, or rub the scabs or flakes to avoid pigment loss and scarring.
- Water Exposure: Keep the area dry; avoid swimming, hot tubs, saunas, and long showers.
- Sweating: Minimize activities that cause heavy sweating, such as intense workouts, as sweat can interfere with healing.
- Makeup: Avoid applying makeup on or near the treated area to prevent contamination and irritation.
- Skincare Products: Refrain from using creams, lotions, exfoliants, or other skincare products on the treated area unless recommended by your artist.
- Sun Exposure: Protect the area from direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds, as UV rays can cause fading and irritation.
- Sleeping on the Face: Try not to sleep on your face to prevent rubbing and pressure on the treated area.
- Alcohol and Caffeine: Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption, as they can thin the blood and delay the healing process.
- Facial Treatments: Avoid facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, and other cosmetic procedures that could affect the treated area.
How long does the Lip Neutralization procedure take?
The duration varies depending on the area being treated and the complexity of the design. Typically, a session can last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.
How long does lip neutralization last?
Lip neutralization results are designed to enhance your natural lip color and create a more even tone. While not permanent, the effects of this specialized treatment can last for a significant period, typically one to two years, though individual experiences may vary. Several factors can influence the longevity of your results, including lifestyle choices like sun exposure and smoking, as well as individual skin type and how diligently you follow aftercare instructions. Your artist will assess your individual needs and advise on the ideal timing for these maintenance sessions.
Are touch-ups necessary?
Yes, it may take several sessions to even out the tone, especially for clients with darker lips. The process is gradual, and depending on the intensity of the pigmentation, multiple treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart may be needed to achieve the desired result. Each session helps to further neutralize the dark tones, gradually revealing a more balanced and natural lip color.
Contradictions
LIPS:
Active Herpes Simplex Virus (Cold Sores): Increases the risk of outbreaks and complications during healing.
Recent Lip Fillers: A proper healing period of six weeks is required after lip injections.
Chronic Dry/Chapped Lips: Dry, chapped lips make it difficult to achieve smooth, even pigment application. This condition can lead to poor pigment retention, uneven results, increased irritation, prolonged healing, and a higher risk of infection.
