FAQ
-
What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique that uses tattooing to enhance facial features. Common procedures include brow microshading, lip blushing, and permanent eyeliner. The results mimic the look of makeup and can last for several years with proper care.
-
Is permanent makeup painful?
Pain levels vary depending on the individual, but most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort. Numbing agents are used during the procedure to minimize any pain.
-
How long does permanent makeup last?
On average, permanent makeup lasts 1-3 years. This can vary depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare practices. Touch-ups may be required to maintain the look over time.
-
What is the healing process like?
Healing times can vary, but typically, clients experience slight swelling or redness for a few days after the procedure. The treated area will form small scabs, which should not be picked. Full healing can take 4-6 weeks.
-
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Please avoid caffeine, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications (like aspirin) at least 24 hours before your appointment. If you’re getting lip blushing and are prone to cold sores, take your prescribed medication 48 hours before the procedure.
-
What is brow microshading?
Brow microshading is a form of semi-permanent makeup that fills in sparse eyebrows with tiny dots, creating a soft, powdered effect. It’s perfect for clients who want a fuller, more defined brow without the harshness of traditional tattooing.
-
What should I avoid after the procedure?
After your session, avoid direct sunlight, sweating, swimming, and applying makeup to the treated area for at least 7-10 days. Proper aftercare is crucial to achieving optimal results.
-
Do I need a touch-up?
Yes, a touch-up session 6-8 weeks after your initial appointment is highly recommended to refine the results and ensure longevity. After that, touch-ups are usually required every 1-2 years. The touch up is a separate price from the initial session.
