PMU Tips(8)--what is dark lip and how to treat it?

What is Lip Darkening?

Lip darkening, also known as lip hyperpigmentation, is a frequent condition that causes the lips to darken beyond their natural color. The illness can affect people of all ages and skin tones; however, people with darker complexions are more likely to be affected. Sun exposure, smoking, dehydration, hormonal changes, and certain medications can all contribute to lip darkening. While lip darkening is usually not a severe medical concern, it can be visually unappealing and create self-consciousness in some people. To help lessen the look of black lips, numerous treatment options are available.

How does Dark Lip Neutralization treat dark lips?

Dark Lip neutralization is a specialized treatment for those with cool or dark-toned lips. This procedure is a unique and gradual process that works to both even-out lip tone as well as brighten naturally darker lips. This is aimed to neutralize or create an even-tone across both top and bottom lip for a consistent lip tone.

The Dark lip Neutralization procedure requires advanced knowledge in color theory and experience in layering techniques as the neutralizing lip color is applied over a few sessions. In order to neutralize the lip color and correct the skin undertones, a complementary neutralizing color is applied that counteracts with the cool or dark tones of the persons lips.
