The procedure takes 1.5 to 3 hours. At the end, the lips will be very swollen and over the next week they will begin to heal, so scabs may form. It is important that these scabs fall off naturally, as removing them may leave scarring or loss of pigment in these areas. It is also suggested to avoid sun exposure for two weeks.

Once cured (a month later), the color fades about 30% to 50% and also blends with your natural lip color. The result is spectacular.
