Trained and Experienced Practitioners

Lip tint micropigmentation at Kandhari Dermatology is performed by trained professionals with expertise in colour theory, lip anatomy, and semi-permanent pigment implantation technique.

Natural Colour Philosophy

Pigment shades are carefully selected to complement each patient's natural skin tone, lip colour, and aesthetic preference for a flattering, not artificial, result.

Dual Purpose Treatment

Lip tint micropigmentation addresses both lip pigmentation concerns and lip definition simultaneously, making it a versatile and comprehensive lip enhancement option.

Long-Lasting Results

Results typically last one to three years depending on skin type and lifestyle, significantly reducing the daily need for lip colour application.

Performed in a Dermatology Setting

The procedure is carried out under clinical conditions with appropriate hygiene standards and medical oversight, prioritising both safety and results.

Customisable Technique

The intensity of the tint, coverage area, and border definition are all customisable to the patient's preference, from a very natural shade to a slightly more defined lip look.

Lip tint micropigmentation may be suitable for individuals with:

•   Dark, patchy, or unevenly pigmented lips
•   Poorly defined or irregular lip borders
•   Pale or colourless lips that require daily makeup
•   Asymmetric lip colour or tone
•   Those seeking a long-lasting low-maintenance lip colour solution
•   Patients who want to reduce the visible impact of lip pigmentation without ongoing chemical treatments

A consultation helps assess lip colour, border definition, and pigmentation to determine the most appropriate colour and technique for your lip tint micropigmentation treatment.

Lip tint micropigmentation provides long-lasting benefits for lip appearance:

•   Corrects and evens uneven or dark lip pigmentation
•   Defines and enhances the natural lip border
•   Creates a soft, wearable everyday lip colour
•   Long-lasting results of 1–3 years
•   Reduces the need for daily lip makeup application
•   Customisable colour and coverage to suit personal preference

Results are immediately visible following treatment, with colour softening slightly as the skin heals. A touch-up session four to six weeks after the initial treatment ensures optimal colour and coverage.

Before lip tint micropigmentation, a colour consultation is performed to select the most appropriate pigment shade for your skin tone, natural lip colour, and aesthetic goals.

If you have a history of cold sores (herpes labialis), antiviral medication should be taken before and after the procedure to reduce the risk of outbreak triggered by the treatment.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and vitamin E for 48 hours before the appointment. Lips should be well moisturised in the days leading up to the treatment to ensure the tissue is in good condition.

Topical numbing cream is applied to the lips before the procedure to minimise discomfort during pigment implantation.

The lip border is mapped and outlined before treatment begins. Pigment is then implanted into the lip tissue using a precision device in systematic passes to ensure even colour deposition.

The procedure takes approximately 90 minutes to two hours for an initial session. Mild swelling and deeper-looking colour immediately after treatment are expected and temporary.

After lip tint micropigmentation, the lips will appear more intensely coloured and mildly swollen for the first two to five days. This is normal as the skin heals.

The lip surface will undergo a gentle peeling process over the following week, after which the true settled colour becomes visible. The healed colour is typically lighter and softer than the initial post-treatment appearance.

Avoid picking at healing lip skin, applying makeup to the lips, or exposing them to sun, steam, or chlorine during the healing period. A follow-up appointment four to six weeks after the initial session is recommended to assess colour and apply a touch-up if needed.

Lip tint micropigmentation is a well-established semi-permanent cosmetic procedure with a good safety record when performed by trained practitioners in a clinical setting.

Temporary effects include swelling, tenderness, deeper-looking initial colour, and mild peeling during the one to two week healing period.

Cold sore outbreaks can be triggered by the procedure in predisposed individuals — preventative antiviral treatment is recommended. Colour dissatisfaction or uneven healing may occasionally require a touch-up session. Choosing a trained and experienced practitioner minimises the risk of poor colour outcome or healing complications.

The cost of lip tint micropigmentation in Delhi includes the initial session and a follow-up touch-up appointment four to six weeks later.

A colour refresh or maintenance session may be required every one to two years as the pigment naturally fades over time.

A personalised cost estimate is provided during the colour consultation based on the technique and coverage area recommended.
