Types of PhiContour Lip pigmentation

Lip Liner - A heavier amount of pigment is placed at the outer edge of the lips. This type of pigmentation is perfect for guests who prefer to wear lipstick everyday, but want to spend less time lining their lips before lipstick application.

Blushing - This is the most natural form of lip pigmentation in which a soft amount of pigment is placed over the lips, enhancing overall color and shape without looking like heavy lipstick. This type of pigmentation is perfect for guests who have lost the natural blush and youthful appearance of their lips or simply prefer to have a more bright and youthful pout.

Full Coverage - The lips are lined and pigmented completely. This type of pigmentation is perfect for lips that are lacking symmetry or have lost pigmentation of the outer edges over time. This type of pigmentation can be performed to look natural or more like the guest is wearing lipstick.

Ombre Lips - The lips are lined and pigmented in an ombre effect towards the center of the mouth. This type of pigmentation is perfect for lips that are not symmetrical or have lost pigmentation of the outer edges over time. This type of pigmentation looks more natural and allows any size or symmetry issue to be addressed.

Annual Refresh - If you have previously been tattooed by Rachel and are ready for a refresher, the fee is $350 if the touch up is performed within 72 months of the initial application. This service does not include a perfecting touch up; however, if you would like to schedule an additional visit, the fee is $80.

***

Old PMU - Tattooing on old PMU requires an in house consultation or an image to be sent to Rachel. In most cases, if you were tattooed by another PMU artist, you will require two sessions as any new guest.

PLEASE NOTE: All services will be charged tax. Due to updated safety protocol, an additional $5.00 may be charged to each client for the addition of PPE. Any service performed at a salon other than Total Image Salon, in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia will include an additional $25 fee.

Basic Information

PhiConour is a kind of cosmetic tattoo to enhance the lips. With the help of the finest needles, color pigments are implanted in the upper skin of the lips. Permanent lip pigmentation is generally suitable for anyone and every skin type. The aim of a perfect lip pigmentation is to create freshness and optimal harmony in the face. Using the fine pigmentation method, the natural beauty of anyone will be emphasized, but irregularities will also be compensated for. With a perfectly designed lip you can enjoy a fresh and perfect look in all situations, professional look that saves time, and look great even when performing exercise! If performed properly, lip pigmentation will be recognizable without overpowering your overall appearance.  

The technique is intended for anyone over the age of 18. In order to successfully perform the treatment, the skin on and around the lips must not be in the regeneration process, i.e. it must not be damaged. If there is eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, acne, pimples or any damage in the eye and/or lip area, seven days before treatment the guest can use PhiTopic cream that will eliminate the problems and can be purchased from your technician.

Pain during the treatment is relative. Scared guests usually feel stronger pain, while the other guests compare such pain with the one that they feel from a sunburn. In addition, it is not recommended to do the treatment while menstruating or under extreme stress or fatigue due to an increased sensitivity to pain.  Light anesthetics, in the form of cream and/or gel, are used to eliminate some sensitivity during the procedure if no allergy is present. Swelling and bruising post treatment are possible but usually subside within 3 days of treatment.

Pigment is applied using a machine in the surface layer of the dermis of the lips. Pigment color is determined according to the guest’s desired healed results. After healing, pigment can become several nuances lighter.

Treatment is done by using sterile and disposable tools and pigments are of the highest standard (PhiContour and After Ink pigments). Inserted pigment is very dark during the first 5 to 7 days. Seven days later, it loses up to 40% of its intensity. If you think that pigment is too dark, do not try to fade it by yourself.

The duration of pigment retention depends on the skin type and aftercare. The more emollient the skin is, the shorter pigment retention will be. Immediate sweating and sun exposure also affect pigment retention. On average, expected time until new refreshment of pigment will be within 3-5 years. Healing is usually completed around 28-46 days later and then it is necessary to add the pigment that was lost in the meanwhile. If the skin is problematic and oily, several such corrections can be made.

Post-treatment care makes 70% of total treatment success. Conscientiously adhere to the given aftercare advice as provided by Rachel.

How successful the treatment will be depends on:

• skin quality

• post-treatment care

• exposure to various external influences

       None of these factors are under the Artist’s control, thus providing any guarantee for the treatment is not possible.

Please consult with your artist if you:

• have problematic skin

• have serious health issues

• take certain medications

• already have an old PMU on your lips

Complications are possible and include, but are not limited to the following: discomfort, scabbing, bruising, swelling, scarring, allergic reaction, infection, pigment migration, color/change, hypersensitivity in the tattooed area, granuloma and ablation. It is also important to note that botulin toxin and/or filler injection and plastic surgery of the face can change the appearance and lead to the distortion of PMU.
