Color Boosting: Refresh & Enhance Your Smoked Lips

Color Boosting is a touch-up procedure following a Smoked Lips Treatment designed to refresh and enhance the lip pigment as it naturally fades. Over time, semi-permanent lip pigments lighten, and a color boost helps maintain the desired shade, vibrancy, and definition.

Color Boosting Procedure Overview

  • Step 1: Lip Assessment & Consultation
    • The therapist evaluates how much the pigment has faded since the initial treatment
    • You can discuss any adjustments in shade, intensity, or shape based on your preferences.
  • Step 2: Numbing & Lip Preparation
    • A numbing cream is applied, taking 20–30 minutes to take effect.
    • Lips are cleansed and exfoliated if necessary for optimal pigment absorption.
  • Step 3: Pigment Application (Soft Shading Technique)
    • A fine needle is used to deposit fresh pigment in a soft, gradual layering technique, which ensures a natural look.
    • This shading process is lighter than the initial session since it's meant as a refresh.
  • Step 4: Healing & Aftercare
    • Healing is faster compared to the first session, taking 3–5 days.
    • Lips may appear darker at first but will soften as they heal.
    • Minimal flaking or peeling may occur.
    • Proper aftercare, including moisturizing and staying hydrated, is recommended.
  • Step 5: Final Results & Longevity
    • Final color settles in about 4–6 weeks.
    • A color boost extends the results for another 12–18 months.
