What can Permanent Makeup do for
me?
Permanent Makeup can enhance your eyebrows, eyes & lips. Uneven contour can also be corrected to highlight your natural features.
What is the Procedure?
Permanent make-up is applied by various machines and methods including; rotary machines, the pen and the non-machine or hand method. Using a small, sterile, micro-prong needle, pigment is placed into the dermal layer of skin.
Does the Procedure Hurt?
Topical anesthetics are used to numb the area. Although
you may experience some minor discomfort, most people
describe a gentle scrub, mild stimulation, or mild
plucking sensation. You may experience some minor
discomfort. This will vary according to the individual
and the skill of the technician performing the
procedure.
Is it Safe?
Yes! A skin patch-test is performed with each new client for an allergic reaction. Disposable sterile needles and surgical gloves are used for each procedure. Allergic reactions to permanent make-up are extremely rare.
How Permanent is Permanent Makeup?
Technically, permanent make-up is considered permanent because it can not be washed off. However, a variety of factors may influence the longevity. Usually make-up will last from 3-5 years for darker skin, and 7-10 years on lighter skin. For some individuals these procedures are indeed permanent. Fading can and often does occur, requiring touchup maintenance.
What Else Should I Know?
