Lip Care After Permanent Makeup: A Guide to the First 10 Days
You’ve had lip permanent makeup done — the first 10 days decide half of the result. The quick guide from MY MARAFET STUDIO:
Days 1–3
- Your lips will be slightly swollen and intensely coloured — that’s normal;
- Apply a thin layer of the recommended cream a few times a day;
- Eat carefully: avoid hot, spicy food and citrus; drink through a straw.
Days 4–10
- Fine scabs appear — do NOT touch them, they come off on their own;
- No lipsticks or glosses until fully healed;
- No sauna, pool or intense workouts — sweat irritates the area.
After day 10
The colour looks light at first, then settles into its final shade over 3–4 weeks. The touch-up 1–3 months after the first session (2 000 lei) finalises the result, which lasts 1–3 years in general.
Any questions along the way — write directly to the studio; Lesea personally answers every post-procedure question.
FAQ
How long do lips peel after permanent makeup?
Fine flakes show up between day 4 and day 10 and come away on their own. Do not pick at them and do not try to hurry them along. Over the same stretch skip the sauna, the pool and hard workouts, because sweat irritates the area.
When can I wear lipstick again?
You can go back to lipstick and gloss only once the lips have fully healed, so not while the flakes are still there. Your artist will tell you the exact day at the end of healing. Until then the lips need nothing but the balm you were told to use, in a thin layer a few times a day.
Why does the colour look too pale once my lips have healed?
Straight after day ten the colour reads pale, then settles into its final shade over 3 to 4 weeks. The touch-up is done 1–3 months after the first session and locks in the result, which then lasts 1–3 years in general.
What can I eat in the first few days?
For the first three days skip hot food, spicy food and citrus, and drink through a straw. Your lips will also look a little puffy and very bright in those days, which is normal. If anything worries you while you heal, message MY MARAFET STUDIO directly — aftercare questions get a personal answer.
