What is Lip Pigmentation and How Does it Work?
Lip Pigmentation is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure designed to improve lip colour, correct uneven pigmentation, and enhance the natural appearance of the lips.
The treatment involves depositing specialised pigments into the superficial layers of the lips to neutralise darkness and restore a healthy pink or rosy tone. At F5 Clinic, Chennai, lip pigmentation is performed using customised pigment shades under medical supervision for safe, natural-looking results.

Lip Pigmentation Procedure
Pre-Treatment:
A detailed consultation is conducted to assess lip condition, pigmentation level, and desired shade. Lip exfoliation and hydration may be advised prior to the procedure. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided before treatment.
During the Treatment:
A topical numbing agent is applied to ensure comfort. Using a specialised device, pigment is gently implanted into the lips in multiple layers for even coverage. The procedure typically takes 1.5–2.5 hours.
Post-Treatment Care & Recovery:
Temporary swelling, dryness, or darkening of lips may occur. Mild peeling is normal during healing. Patients are advised to keep lips moisturised, avoid spicy food, sun exposure, and smoking for a few days. Final colour settles over 3–4 weeks.
