Lip lift scars
Softening lip lift and upper lip scars.
Learn more about the technique
Lip lift scars sit along the base of the nose, where texture and colour show easily. We soften the scar with restorative needling, then blend colour if needed, so the result of your lip lift reads naturally.
Lip lift scars can heal raised, indented or a different colour from the surrounding skin. We usually start with restorative needling to smooth the texture, then use pigment camouflage to blend any colour difference.
The area is small and delicate, so we work with fine, precise technique and plan each session around how your skin responds.

FAQ
Common questions
How long after my lip lift can I book?
Your scar needs to be fully healed and settled, which is often around 12 months after surgery. We’ll assess this at your consultation.
Do you use pigment on the scar?
We start without pigment, using restorative needling to smooth texture. If colour still needs evening out once the texture has settled, we blend it with camouflage.
Can you treat cleft lip scars?
Yes, often. We assess each scar individually and plan the gentlest approach for your skin.
How do I get started?
Every treatment begins with a complimentary consultation, in the studio or by video. We’ll assess your skin and give you a realistic plan, with no obligation. Book your consultation.
