Permanent Makeup Lip Refresh in Berlin

Assessing existing lip pigmentation and colour

If your pigmented lip colour looks faded or your wishes have changed, Olga Keller first assesses what is already present. At Kosmetikinstitut Expert in Berlin, she discusses remaining colour, contour and lip skin with you. Whether a later refresh is appropriate and which additions are possible is assessed personally.

Which design suits your existing pigmentation?

Before further pigmentation, the planned design must work with existing colour and skin condition. Very dark pigment, marked colour changes or an unwanted contour cannot always be covered simply. Our permanent makeup for lips overview explains the options for an initial treatment.

Depending on the starting condition, the following design elements can be discussed:

• Aquarell Lips: A soft gradient and its desired intensity are planned to work with the remaining pigment.
• Full shading: For stronger colour coverage, we first assess how much pigment is present and whether additions are appropriate.
• 3D colour design: Existing light-to-dark transitions and the desired visual effect are assessed together.
• Contour with shading: The position and shape of the old contour determine which additions are possible within the lip area.
• Lip Light: An existing light accent at the Cupid’s bow is assessed separately; it cannot always be renewed unchanged.

What Treatwell reviews highlight

Fear-free: The procedure was calming and nearly painless.

Natural: No one notices it's PMU - I simply look fresher.

Healing: Excellent guidance and uncomplicated recovery.

Some of hundreds of reviews across different platforms:

• Individual technique planning: The design is based on existing pigment and your lip skin.
• We use REACH-compliant PUREBEAU pigments made in Germany. Ingredients and known allergies are discussed beforehand. REACH compliance does not guarantee an absence of allergic reactions or a permanently unchanged shade.
• Clear advice: You learn which additions are realistic and when another approach may be needed.
• Personal treatment: Olga Keller plans and performs the pigmentation herself and discusses your wishes with you.
• Your comfort: Tell Olga Keller about sensitivity and discomfort. Options for pain relief and breaks are discussed together.

An initial assessment of another studio’s work

You can send a photo of your existing lip pigmentation for initial orientation. Whether a normal refresh, a separate correction or another initial approach is appropriate is assessed in person. Neutralisation of every cool or bluish tone cannot be promised.

When might a refresh be appropriate?

A consultation may help if colour or contour has changed or you would like the existing design assessed. Reasons may include:

• The colour looks lighter or uneven.
• The contour looks less defined.
• The colour looks cooler and you would like it assessed.
• You would like work from another studio assessed.

The process: assessment, mapping and pigmentation

Assessment, mapping, colour choice and care are agreed with you personally:

1. Assessment: Olga Keller checks the condition of the old pigmentation and discusses your color preferences (intensification or nuance change).
2. Mapping and agreement: The planned contour is drawn and reviewed with you in the mirror. Pigmentation begins only after your approval.
3. Pigmentation: The agreed additions are made using the appropriate technique. Sensations are individual; breaks and options for pain relief are discussed beforehand.
4. Personal aftercare: You receive recommendations for your individual healing course.

Prices for our work and work from other studios

For lips pigmented by us, a later refresh currently costs 200 € instead of 300 €, with around 120 minutes planned. This offer applies to our own work following assessment and includes:

• Assessment of existing colour and contour.
• The agreed refresh using REACH-compliant PUREBEAU pigments.
• Whether another appointment after the refresh is appropriate depends on the findings and healing. Scope and possible costs are agreed beforehand.

A normal later refresh of lip pigmentation from another studio costs 250 €, with around 120 minutes planned. During booking, select where the initial treatment was performed. Extensive corrections are assessed separately; the approach and any different costs are agreed before treatment.

Health, contraindications and cold sore precautions

We discuss lip skin, medical conditions, known allergies, medication and previous lip treatments beforehand. Medical assessment may be needed where there are health risks. Inflamed, injured or unhealed lips are not pigmented.

Cold Sore Prevention Before Lip Pigmentation

Irritation of the lips can trigger another outbreak in people prone to cold sores. Tell us about previous episodes, even if they were a long time ago. Blisters, tingling or other signs of a developing outbreak need to be discussed and may require postponing the appointment.

Discuss with your doctor in advance whether preventive medication is appropriate for you. The product, timing and duration are determined medically. Prevention may reduce the risk but cannot guarantee that an outbreak will not occur.

Discuss health factors beforehand

• Acute herpes outbreak on the treatment day.
• Blood clotting disorders or blood-thinning medication: Medical advice is required beforehand to establish whether treatment is possible. Do not stop prescribed medication on your own.
• Ongoing chemotherapy: We do not perform pigmentation during treatment. Discuss a suitable time with your oncology team; a treatment break does not automatically mean clearance.
• Acute infections or fever.

Temporary limitations and appointment planning

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: We do not perform pigmentation during this time.
• After filler injections, we plan treatment no earlier than four weeks and only when the lips have fully healed without irritation. Agree the timing with your treating professional and with us; healing may require a longer interval.
• Fresh Scars: The tissue must be fully healed.
