Corrective Lips
What Is Lip Tattoo Removal?
Lip tattoo removal in Dubai is for lip blush, lip liner or an old “lipstick” tattoo that healed too dark, patchy, blue or purple, or with an outline drawn outside the natural lip. We lighten or lift that pigment over several sessions so the lips can heal to their own colour — or become a clean base for a better lip tattoo.
Lips are not brows. The skin of the lip is thin, moist and full of blood vessels, so it heals faster but reacts more strongly. That is why we plan lip removal more conservatively: lower intensity, careful healing in between, and an honest conversation about what is realistic.
We use saline removal — a lightening solution worked into the pigment, which then comes out through the healing skin — and laser for suitable dark pigments. Many lip tattoos contain red and pink tones that laser can darken, so on lips saline is often the safer first choice.
Not every unwanted lip tattoo has to go completely. A colour that is slightly too cool can sometimes be corrected with a new layer of lip blush; a liner that sits outside the lip usually needs removal first.
Why Remove with Us
Key Benefits
Saline or laser removal, chosen for the colour and depth of your old lip pigment.
Our team works on lips every day, so we know how lip tissue heals and holds colour.
We say upfront if lightening and a correction will look better than full removal.
Once healed, lips are ready for a new lip blush, a correction or simply your natural colour.

Your Appointment
Lip Tattoo Removal Step by Step
Saline lip removal is booked as a 90-minute slot, laser as 60 minutes, including preparation.
We look at the colour, outline and depth of the old pigment and agree on the goal.
If you have ever had cold sores, we ask about antiviral cover your doctor recommends — removal can trigger an outbreak.
Saline or laser, chosen for the pigment. Often we start with the outline that sits outside the lip.
A numbing product is applied to keep you comfortable.
We treat only the pigment that needs to go, keeping the session gentle on lip tissue.
You go home with lip care instructions; the next step is decided after the lips have healed.
Before Your Visit
How to Prepare for Lip Removal
The same rules as before a lip tattoo apply — they reduce bleeding and cold-sore risk.
Moisturise your lips every day; dry, flaky lips take pigment unevenly.
If you have ever had a cold sore, ask your doctor about an antiviral course before the appointment.
Pause fish oil, vitamin E and other blood-thinning supplements (only if your doctor agrees).
No alcohol or coffee.
No lip filler; if you plan filler, do it first and come to us once it has settled.
Come without lipstick. If you have a favourite lip shade, bring it — it helps colour matching.

Lip Tattoo Removal in Action
Healing Day by Day
Lip Healing Between Sessions
Lips heal faster than skin elsewhere, but they swell more.
Swelling and tenderness, strongest on the first day. A cold compress wrapped in a clean cloth helps.
Crusting or flaking along the treated areas. Keep lips moist with the balm we give you and let crusts come off on their own.
Lips look pink and smooth. The colour can still change.
The result of the session is visible. Earliest time for the next session.
Lips are fully healed — ready for a new lip blush or simply your own colour.
How Many Sessions
How Many Sessions for Lips?
Most lip tattoos need 2 to 6 sessions, spaced at least 6–8 weeks apart. The density of the old pigment, its colour, and how many times it was layered make the biggest difference.
Outlines are often quicker to lighten than a fully filled lip. If the plan is a new lip blush, we sometimes stop at “light enough to cover” rather than chasing the very last trace.
Removed pigment does not come back. What matters is giving each session enough time to heal before deciding on the next one.
Between Sessions
Lip Removal Aftercare
Use only the balm we give you, in a thin layer, so the lips never crack.
Avoid hot drinks, spicy and salty food; drink through a straw.
No picking, biting or rubbing the crusts.
Nothing on the lips except the balm until they have healed.
For about 2 weeks; then lip SPF outdoors.
If you feel the tingling of a cold sore, contact your doctor and let us know.
Safety First
When We Postpone Lip Removal
Lip removal is postponed if any of these apply. If you are unsure, ask your doctor first.

We postpone until after nursing.
Wait at least 4 weeks.
Wait 6 months after the course.
Removal is not recommended.

Got Questions?
Lip Tattoo Removal FAQ
A cosmetic lip tattoo is lightened over several sessions with saline removal or laser. Waiting for it to fade on its own can take years, and dark outlines often stay visible.
AED 1,100 per session at Brows & Lips, saline or laser.
Yes. Lip blush removal is usually done with saline, because lip blush pigments are mostly red and pink tones.
Laser can work on dark pigment, but red, pink and nude shades can darken under laser. We test and choose the method for your pigment.
Usually 2 to 6, at least 6–8 weeks apart.
Numbing is used. Lips are sensitive, so expect some discomfort and swelling for a day or two.
No. Removal targets the pigment, not the lip tissue; the natural shape remains.
Once the lips have fully healed after the last session — usually after 6–8 weeks.
