Best way to remove semi permanent lip liner? (photo)

miss_blondie23Oct 3, 2021
Hi I had lip liner done 3.5 years ago and I wanted it to match my natural colour. It has since lightened and does not match so I want to remove it. BUT it has been hard to find the best solution, laser removal, saline removal or something else? Laser clinics that I have asked said no so far because it turns dark initially. Saline removal also doesnt seem good for lip only the outside border? I am also worried about saline as its scabs and I have yo eat and talk. Thanks!

This needs a VERY specialized person they have to put metal eye shields, pre treat your skin to prevent pigmentation or ghosting, and needs numerous treatments. I suggest seeing an expert we do this all the time. the mediostar ruby or rhorer pico are best. Dr. Emer.
