Can permanent lip liner be removed?

Hi Rose-Anne,

Your lip liner can be treated with a "fading" material and over several treatments can be lifted out of the skin.  This does require some scabbing so the skin lifts with the material and color.  It may take 3-4 sessions a month apart.  Sometimes the artist can cover the liner with a skin tone.  I prefer to try to lift the color and then after several treatments go over it with the skin tone color if needed. 

Sometimes you can have the artist "fix" the line so it suits you better.  It is wise to interview your artist as to how experienced they are in this procedure and do not shop by price!  Many people new to the field will have much lower prices.  Also ask for referrals and check your local BBB.  Permanent lips can be a very nice procedure to have if done correctly. 

I hope this helps.  :)

Most people advising you will immediately mention laser for removal of your lipliner.  However, pigmenet at the vermillion border is trickier than tattoos on body skin.  An overlooked modality is tattooing saline into the line to float pigment out.  Your treating individual should be familiar with this technique.  One thing to cosider is having the color corrected, if this is the problem.  DeEtte Balford, in Montana is an expert in this kind of color correction.
