Permanent makeup is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for introducing a hypoallergenic coloring composition - pigment - into the layers of the skin. The service is provided in beauty salons and is in demand among women. Allows you to adjust the shape, create long-lasting makeup that does not wash off or spread, but decorates for several years. But an unpleasant consequence is swelling after lip tattooing.
Reasons for appearance
Swelling of the lips after permanent makeup appears due to microtraumas to the skin that are caused during the procedure. To ensure that the pigment is visible for a long time, it is injected into the upper layer of the epidermis. The body considers the dye to be a foreign object, so a natural immune response occurs to it.
The production of inflammatory mediators begins, causing swelling in response to pigment entering the skin during lip tattooing. But everything quickly returns to normal with proper disinfection and care after the procedure.
If bacteria gets into the wounds, pain and redness are added to the swelling. This is a reason to see a doctor.
