Okay, we're going to do wrestle and l half as you see to the top. Lift the balance around. Little poke. Gentle threading. More sensitive in the middle. All about being gentle. You watch the result as it goes in. It's not a whole lot of jabbing and stabbing. You're watching it happen. People ask sometimes how much do you put in? You put in as much as you want until you get the result that you want. But you can't force it. Sometimes some lips need a secondary or tertiary injection point meaning three, four weeks later. You just add more because you can't force it. You force too much into the lip, you end up with stiff sausage lips. Nobody wants that doing okay. Middle is always more sensitive. You don't need too much rubbing and massaging when it goes into the right plane. One bleeding point. No bruises, No lumps or bumps. Better balance. Thanks.
