What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, involves implanting pigment into the upper reticular layer of the dermis using specialized techniques. It is often referred to as “micropigmentation,” “micropigment implantation,” or “dermagraphics.”

What are powder brows?

Powder brows is a semi-permanent technique that uses a digital machine with a nano needle to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin, creating a soft, powdered look. This technique suits most skin types. The shape and color density are customized based on your preferences, ranging from a light and natural appearance to a bold, makeup-like effect.

What is permanent eyeliner?

Permanent eyeliner enhances the eyes by implanting pigment along the lash line. There are different styles:

• Lash Enhancement: Pigment is placed between the lashes to create the appearance of fuller, darker lashes. Suitable for all eye shapes and ages.
• Eyeshadow Eyeliner: A soft blend of black pigment along the lash line and dark brown on the eyelid to mimic an eyeshadow effect, healing to a soft, natural look.
• Classic Winged Eyeliner: Pigment is applied between the lashes and above the lash line, extending into a wing style of your choice, replacing the need for daily makeup.

What is lip blush?

Lip blush enhances the natural color of your lips and defines their shape using a nano needle to implant pigment. It’s ideal for individuals with pink, uneven, or pale lips and can correct minor discoloration. Achieving the desired effect typically requires 1-2 sessions.

For a more defined “lipstick look,” 1-3 sessions may be needed to build up pigment intensity.

What is dark lip color correction?

Dark lip color correction is a specialized technique used to neutralize darker lip undertones (brown, purple, or blue hues) to achieve a more even and lighter lip tone. The goal is to create a natural color, such as nude, caramel, or various shades of pink. This process may require 2-4 sessions, depending on the depth of the original lip tone.

Does it hurt?

Pain levels vary from person to person. A topical anesthetic is applied before and during the procedure to minimize discomfort. Some clients may feel mild soreness, while others report feeling nothing at all. You may also hear a scratching sensation during the process.

Is it safe?

Yes, absolutely. We use only high-quality, disposable supplies to ensure the highest safety standards.

Will I experience swelling?

Swelling varies depending on the treatment area:

• Brows: Mild swelling may occur, depending on skin sensitivity.
• Lips and Eyes: Swelling is more common and expected, but it typically subsides within 24-48 hours.

Mild redness around the treated area is also normal and temporary.

Will I need a touch-up?

Yes, a touch-up is strongly recommended. Initial fading of 30%-70% is expected within the first few weeks. A touch-up session allows for color adjustments and refinements after healing.

How often will I need a color boost?

To maintain fresh-looking results, a color boost is recommended every 1-2 years, depending on your lifestyle and skin type.

How long does permanent makeup last?

Permanent makeup can last between 2-5 years, depending on factors such as skin type, aftercare, lifestyle, metabolism, medications, and exposure to anti-aging treatments.

How long does the procedure take?

Each procedure typically takes around 3 hours. Please allocate a full 3-hour window for your appointment to ensure the process isn’t rushed.

Do I need to take a day off work?

No, there’s no required downtime. You may experience slight redness or swelling, which subsides within 1-2 days. However, your daily routine won’t be affected.

How long does it take to heal?

Healing times vary, but typically the treated area takes 7-10 days for the initial scabbing to form and fall off. Full healing and pigment settling occur within a month.

What is the treatment process like?

Permanent makeup is a two-step process:

1. Initial Procedure: We will take “before” photos and design the shape of your brows, eyeliner, or lips based on your facial features and preferences. Once the shape is finalized, we will choose the pigment color and apply topical anesthetic for comfort. The pigment is then carefully implanted.
2. Touch-up Appointment: Scheduled 4-12 weeks later to perfect the shape and color.

It’s important to have realistic expectations, as facial symmetry varies naturally, and results cannot exactly replicate celebrity styles.

What should I avoid after the procedure?

To ensure proper healing, avoid the following:

• Getting the treated area wet (no swimming or sweating)
• Sun exposure and tanning
• Picking, peeling, scratching, or rubbing the area
• Following the provided aftercare instructions is crucial for optimal results.

Is it possible that my skin won’t retain pigment?

Yes, in rare cases, some individuals’ skin may reject pigment due to various factors such as skin type, immune response, or underlying conditions like pigment allergies or autoimmune disorders. If this occurs, additional touch-up sessions may be needed.

What if I don’t like the results?

Permanent makeup is considered semi-permanent, allowing for some flexibility in adjustments. During the consultation, we will work closely with you to ensure satisfaction with the shape and color before proceeding. If you are unsure, it may be best to consider more temporary options. Over time, pigment naturally fades, offering the opportunity for changes in the future.
