Effortless Beauty
with Permanent Makeup

Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, involves implanting pigment into the skin to enhance facial features like eyebrows, eyes, and lips. This technique creates a natural look that can mimic traditional makeup​.

The longevity of permanent makeup varies depending on the individual's skin type, lifestyle, and the specific procedure. Generally, it can last from 1 to 5 years, with touch-up sessions recommended to maintain the desired look.

Pain levels vary among individuals, but most people experience minimal discomfort. Topical anesthetics are used to numb the area, and many clients report only a slight scratching or tingling sensation during the procedure​.

Permanent makeup is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced professional. Choosing a reputable technician who follows proper hygiene and sterilization practices is crucial to minimize the risk of complications.

The cost varies based on the procedure, the artist's expertise, and the location. On average, prices range from $400 to $1000+ for the initial appointment, with additional costs for touch-ups.

While permanent makeup will fade over time, complete removal can be challenging and may require multiple laser treatments. To avoid dissatisfaction, it's essential to choose your permanent makeup artist carefully and communicate your preferences clearly.

To ensure the best results and a smooth healing process, follow these preparation steps:

1. Skin Condition: Keep your skin healthy and free from irritation. Avoid sunburns, rashes, or acne outbreaks in the treatment area. Stop any harsh skin treatments, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments, at least three weeks prior to your appointment.

2. Avoid Certain Substances:

   • Alcohol and Caffeine: Refrain from consuming alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours before the procedure to reduce swelling and sensitivity.

   • Blood-Thinning Medications: Consult with your doctor about possibly discontinuing blood-thinning medications 5 days before your session, if medically advisable.

   • Retinoids: Discontinue use of products containing retinoids as soon as booking your appointment to decrease skin sensitivity.

3. Cosmetic Injections and Fillers: If you plan to get cosmetic injections or fillers, do so at least three weeks before or after your permanent makeup appointment to prevent any shifts in pigment placement.

4. Medications and Health:

   • If you have medical conditions like diabetes or an autoimmune disorder, obtain clearance from your healthcare provider.

   • For lip procedures, if you're prone to cold sores, start antiviral medication as prescribed by your doctor a few days before the procedure and continue afterward to prevent outbreaks.

Proper aftercare is essential for healing and long-lasting results. Follow these general instructions:

1. Keep the treated area clean.

2. Avoid activities that cause sweating.

3. Apply a thin layer of gentle ointment as recommended.

Your technician will give you detailed aftercare guidelines to ensure the best results.

During the healing process, you can expect initial darkness and possible swelling (eyes and lips), which will subside. The treated area may also flake as it heals.

• External healing is 5-10 days;

• Full healing typically takes about 4 weeks, during which the colour softens and stabilizes to the final shade.

Permanent makeup usually requires two sessions. The initial appointment is followed by a touch-up session 4-6 weeks later to finalize the pigment and shape after healing.
