Facts about Permanent Makeup

 1. What is permanent makeup? Permanent cosmetics is a state-of-the-art technique of permanently applying makeup via intradermal micropigmentation.
2. Does it hurt? Very little discomfort might be experienced during the procedure. In fact, the great majority of clients describe the sensation as a “’tickling” feeling. The target area is applied with a topical numbing cream before the procedure.
3. Will it look “natural”? Yes, by “natural-looking” hair strokes for brows with natural age-defying shapes. Several different methods of permanent cosmetic application are often used during your procedure in order to provide you with the most beautiful results.
4. What is the healing period like? Most clients are immediately able to return to work or their other daily activities immediately following their procedure without any embarrassment or discomfort. For approximately five to seven days following the procedure, you will need to apply a thin film of ointment to the procedure site.
5. How many applications are needed? Generally, two applications might be needed to achieve full satisfaction. However, many of our clients are fully satisfied with just one application. If a second application is desired, it is scheduled approximately four to six weeks after the initial procedure.
6. How long does a procedure take? Including the consultation, paperwork, and numbing time, the average length of time for one procedure is approximately 1.5 to two hours. The second application is usually one hour or less.
7. May I choose my own colors?  Definitely. Colors and shades are custom-blended to match your favorite pencils. With each procedure, only fresh and safe ingredients are used. Their rich and creamy pigments are of the highest quality and have an excellent reputation because they look so natural.
8. How long does permanent makeup last? Over time, you will notice a gradual softening of color occurring each year. “Color enhancements” are recommended for those who wish to keep their permanent makeup looking as fresh as possible. Generally, every two to eight years or so, depending on color, individual body chemistry, and lifestyle.
9. Why does permanent makeup fade and body tattoos don’t?  Traditional body tattoos do fade at a slower rate due to several different factors, such as less exposure to the UV rays, better color retention due to much thicker skin, etc.
