The Lip Healing Process
Day 1
Your lips will look bold and bright right after your appointment. Swelling is normal and will go down by the next day. Lips may feel tender.

Lips may still have slight sensitivity. Swelling should be gone. Lips will still appear bright.
Day 3-4
Lips will feel dry and chapped. They may peel at this stage.
Day 7
Lips will appear soft and light, don't worry, pigment will come back in a few weeks!
Day 21
Your lips should be looking great! The color should be back by this time.
Day 42
Touch up time! Here we can strengthen your shape, adjust color slightly, even out lips if any areas faded more than others.
