What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a tattoo pen to implant pigment into the skin to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. The result is long-lasting, natural-looking makeup.

​

How long does permanent makeup last?

Results typically last 1–3 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, pigment color, and aftercare. Fading is gradual, and periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain the best results.

​

Is permanent makeup actually permanent?

Despite the name, permanent makeup fades over time. The pigments are designed to soften and lighten naturally, allowing adjustments as trends, preferences, or facial features change.

​

Does the procedure hurt?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to ensure comfort. Sensitivity varies from person to person.

​

How long does the appointment take?

Appointments usually last 2–3 hours, which includes consultation, mapping/design, numbing, and the procedure itself.

​

What is the healing process like?

Initial healing takes about 7–14 days. Some redness, mild swelling, and light scabbing are normal. Color will appear darker at first and soften as the skin heals. Full results are visible after healing is complete.

 

Is a touch-up required?

Yes. A touch-up appointment is typically recommended 6–8 weeks after the initial session to perfect the color and shape once the skin has healed.

​

Who is a good candidate for permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup is ideal for anyone who wants to save time, enhance their natural features, improve symmetry, or has difficulty applying traditional makeup. A consultation is required to ensure suitability.

 

Are there any risks?

When performed by a trained professional using sterile equipment and high-quality pigments, permanent makeup is considered safe. Clients with certain medical conditions or skin concerns should disclose them during consultation.

​

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Preparation instructions may vary, but generally clients should:

• Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours prior

• Avoid blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed)

• Avoid sun exposure or tanning

• Arrive with clean skin and no makeup on the area

​

How do I care for my skin after the procedure?

Aftercare instructions will be provided. This usually includes keeping the area clean, avoiding makeup and excessive moisture, and protecting the area from sun exposure during healing.

​

Can I choose the shape and color?

Absolutely. Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation where shape, color, and style are customized to suit your facial features and preferences.
