Aquarell lips
​
Aquarelle lips, also known as Watercolor Lip Tattoo or lip blushing, is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure where a specialized tattoo machine is used to apply pigment to the lips, creating a natural and flushed appearance. The technique involves layering several shades of pigment in a manner similar to the appearance of watercolor paintings, hence the name "Aquarelle".
​
Unlike traditional permanent makeup, Aquarelle lip tattoo uses a softer touch and a more gradual gradient effect to create a more subtle and natural result. The procedure usually takes about 2-3 hours to complete and requires a touch-up session 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure to ensure the color is even and the desired result is achieved. Aquarelle lip tattoos usually last between 2-3 years, but the longevity of the results can vary depending on the individual's skin type, lifestyle and aftercare.

It is extremely important that you, as a customer, notify me in advance if you have any illnesses or the like so that I have the opportunity to decide whether the treatment should be carried out or not.
BEFORE THE VISIT:
-
Lubricate your lips with Vaseline or the equivalent daily a week before the visit so that your lips are soft and nice. Treatment is not performed on dry and chapped lips.
-
Do not sunbathe 7 days before your visit. You should also not take strong medications, or be under the influence of alcohol.

Avoid medication containing aspirin, omega 3 vitamin at least 4 days before the treatment.
-
If possible, avoid taking painkillers the day before treatment as it thins the blood. If you are taking blood-thinning medications (consult your doctor).
-
If you suffer from herpes or are prone to this disease, it is important that you prepare by having anti-inflammatory drugs such as Anti or similar (available at the pharmacy) at hand. This is especially important after treatment for the lips as herpes can often appear or worsen after such treatments. If you know that you are prone to herpes, you should use medicines such as Zovirax or similar at least two days before and five days after the treatment to reduce the risk of occurrence or worsening of the disease.

The pigment color: sometimes the pigment color can heal to other shades and the color can change over time, it depends on your body, your skin pigment, medications, vitamins, diseases...
Performance:
During the consultation, we decide together the shade and shape according to the customer's wishes.
We start from your skin tone, hair color and eye color so that the color of your cosmetic tattoo will suit you perfectly. We work with PERMABLEND LUXE and all our pigments are approved and registered according to the regulations and regulations of the Swedish Medicines Agency. The tattooing is done with extremely fine, thin needles that go evenly into the skin without vibrating. This makes the treatment almost painless. The needles are in sterile single-use modules for your safety.
​Care advice after treatment:
-
Wash lips with distilled or purified water (Apoteket) water and dry brows with a pad after each meal.
-
Moisten a pad with "CHLORHEXIDINE" (Apotheket) to kill bacteria 2-3 times/day. ATTENTION! You can apply a thick layer of Bepanthen/Vaseline to your lips before eating/drinking to avoid direct contact with food or drink on the skin.
-
Lubricate the tattooed area at least 4 times a day with an oily cream, such as Bepanthen or Vaseline. Apply the cream with a clean top. Make sure to have clean hands and clean tops when applying. ATTENTION! Always make sure there is Bepanthen or Vaseline on your lips throughout the day and even when you sleep.
-
Avoid too spicy food, a lot of salt and strong flavors during the first 10 days.
-
Herpes blisters are treated as usual with anti-herpes ointment and any medicine prescribed by a doctor (for those who need it). Tip! You can apply an oily cream after applying cold sore cream if you feel your lips are dry.
-
If you get a lot of swelling, you can cool the area a few times a day with ice packs or ice packs.
-
Absolutely do NOT use table salt or other types of wound wash containing salts.
-
The crusts/membrane will fall off by themselves within a week. Don't throw them away! This can cause the color to follow and in the worst case form scar tissue. Depending on the skin type and how you take care of the aftercare, crusts sometimes do not form at all, possibly only thin flakes.
-
Avoid exercise and physical activity that leads to sweating in the first week.
-
Do not use face cream around the lips for at least a week. It increases the risk of infection.
-
The treated area must be kept free of make-up, AHA cream until the skin has healed completely. Applying make-up after a treatment can involve risks, allergic reactions that can lead to infections, loss of pigment, wounds and, in the worst case, scarring. Do not use makeup until the area is completely healed!
-
Avoid long saunas, baths or showers, (avoid saunas and baths completely during the healing process)
-
Avoid sunbathing, both outdoors and in solariums.
-
Stay away from dusty environments where small dirt particles can easily enter and cause infection in the tattooed area. Also avoid external influences from exhaust gases and chemical vapors from e.g. hair dye and hair spray.
-
Use sun factor 50 on the pigmented area while sunbathing (at least for 6 months). Sun, chlorine and salt water bleach the pigment so protect your lips carefully.
-
Sometimes the pigment color can heal with a second shade as a result. It depends on your body's reactions, your skin type, medications, vitamins, diseases and etc.
-
Good hygiene is essential to avoid infections. Treat the tattoo as an open wound; do not poke with your fingers and keep the area as clean and dry as possible.
-
A guarantee for the final result cannot be obtained, due to different extreme skin variations (read also "Before the treatment".)
-
Try to avoid sleeping on your face during the healing process.
-
-
Only after total healing can you see the final result (approx. 3-4 weeks). The final color and strength of the pigment may vary depending on your skin tone, skin quality and Permanent Makeup healing process.
-
The pigment may fade 10%-90% during the healing process after your first visit, Return visits are recommended within 6 weeks to fill in loss of pigment from the healing process. (Note: Book the return visit on the same day as you book the first treatment. So that you get an appointment within the correct time frame).
-
If you have oily, large-pored skin or bleed a lot so the pigment is pushed away a lot during healing, a 3rd visit may also be needed (not included).
