  • What is Permanent make up ?
    Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos (permanent pigmentation of the dermis) to produce designs that resemble makeup. This can include enhancing colours to the skin of the face, lips, and eyelids, as well as creating artificial eyebrows. It is also used to camouflage scars or white spots in the skin such as in vitiligo, and to restore or enhance the breast's areola after breast surgery. Types of Permanent Makeup: Microblading (Eyebrows): This method is perfect for creating very natural-looking eyebrows. It involves using a manual blade to deposit dye into the skin, creating fine, hair-like strokes. Microblading is typically semi-permanent, lasting around 18-30 months before fading. Micropigmentation Eyebrows: Micropigmentation uses a digital machine to implant pigment deeper into the skin than microblading, offering more durability. It’s used for adding definition to eyebrows and creating a lasting eyeliner that doesn’t smudge or wear off. It can last several years depending on the individual’s skin type and lifestyle. ~ Powder brows(Ombre): Powder brows, also known as ombre brows, use a specialized machine to apply thousands of tiny dots of pigment, creating a soft, powdered effect that resembles the look of makeup. This technique is less invasive than traditional tattooing and is great for those looking for a more filled-in appearance. ~ Hairstroke brows: The hair stroke technique uses fine needles to implant pigment in the form of tiny hair-like strokes that mimic the natural hair in your brows. It is ideal for creating a very natural and realistic look. This method requires skill and precision to ensure the strokes blend seamlessly with the existing hair. ~ Combo brows: Combination brows merge the hair stroke and powder techniques to achieve both natural texture and added density. The strokes add realistic hair appearance, and the shading provides depth and fullness. This method is excellent for those who want natural, yet defined eyebrows. Eyeliner Tattoo: Permanent eyeliner involves tattooing a fine line right along the lash line to create the look of eyeliner. This technique saves time for those who regularly wear pencil or liquid eyeliner and can be customized in thickness and colour based on personal preference. Lip Blush: Lip Blush is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances the natural beauty of the lips by depositing coloured ink into the upper layers of the dermis. The goal is to define the lips’ contour, correct asymmetry, and provide a colour boost, which can make the lips appear fuller and more vibrant. This treatment is ideal for those who wish to revive their lip colour and maintain a polished, tinted look without daily makeup application. Permanent makeup is a great option for those who wish to enhance their features, save time on daily makeup applications, or have difficulties using traditional makeup due to allergies or motor impairments. When considering permanent makeup, it’s important to consult with a skilled and licensed professional to ensure safe and satisfactory results. Learn about the aftercare
  • How is micropigmentation different from microblading?
    Unlike microblading, which typically creates hair-like strokes, micropigmentation involves a digital machine that uses a needle to penetrate deeper into the skin, which can result in longer-lasting results. This method is also suitable for creating a variety of aesthetic enhancements beyond eyebrows, such as eyeliner or lip color. Always know about the pre and post care for any of the procedures before deciding to go for it.
  • Who can get permanent makeup done?
    Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, is suitable for most adults who wish to enhance their features, save time on daily makeup routines, or address specific cosmetic concerns. However, certain conditions and situations may affect eligibility: Age Requirements: You MUST be 18 years or older to receive permanent makeup due to legal and ethical considerations. Skin Conditions: People with skin conditions near the treatment area such as eczema, psoriasis, or severe acne may be advised to avoid permanent makeup as these conditions can affect healing. Health Conditions: Individuals with certain health issues, including autoimmune diseases like lupus or conditions that affect healing like diabetes, should consult with their healthcare provider before proceeding. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is recommended to avoid permanent makeup procedures during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to the risks associated with infections and the effects of stress on the body. Also in case of any infection you may not be able to take the required medication during pregnancy. Medications: Those taking blood-thinning medications or treatments like Accutane for acne should disclose this information as it can affect the healing process and the integrity of the skin. Allergies: If you have a history of allergic reactions to makeup, pigments, or topical anesthetics, you should discuss these with the practitioner to avoid any adverse reactions. Before proceeding with permanent makeup, it's crucial to have a detailed consultation with a certified and experienced practitioner who can evaluate your suitability for the procedure and discuss any potential risks based on your individual health profile.

  • You are not a candidate for permanent makeup if you have the following (contraindications) :
    Permanent makeup is a fantastic option for many, but it isn’t suitable for everyone. Here are some contraindications that might mean you are not a candidate for permanent makeup: Skin Conditions: Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis in the treatment area can interfere with the healing process. Similarly, if you have frequent herpes outbreaks (such as cold sores), you should not have lip tattooing unless you are pre-treated with an antiviral medication. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is recommended to avoid permanent makeup during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to the lack of studies showing effects on the fetus and newborns. Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions such as lupus, scleroderma, and other autoimmune disorders can affect healing, and patients with these conditions are generally advised against undergoing any form of tattooing. Blood Disorders: Conditions that affect your body’s ability to clot or bleed normally, such as hemophilia or a significant history of blood clots, make tattooing risky. Diabetes: If you have uncontrolled diabetes, it can affect your healing process, making it more difficult and risky to undergo procedures like permanent makeup. Heart Conditions: Those with severe heart conditions or who are taking anticoagulants (blood thinners) should avoid this procedure due to increased risk of bleeding and infection. Allergies: Allergies to makeup, colors, and pigments used in the procedure could lead to serious reactions. It’s essential to discuss any known allergies with your practitioner beforehand. Cancer Treatments: People undergoing chemotherapy or radiation should wait until their treatment is complete and they have medical clearance from their oncologist because of the heightened risk of infection and compromised skin integrity. Infections and Diseases: Active skin infections or conditions like MRSA, HIV/AIDS, or hepatitis, where there is an increased risk of spreading infectious diseases. Medications: Use of certain medications like Accutane or steroids, which can affect skin sensitivity and healing. Keloids or Hypertrophic Scarring: If you have a history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring, the risk of this happening with tattooing may be higher. Recent Procedures: Having recent cosmetic procedures, such as fillers or Botox, near the area to be treated with permanent makeup can affect the outcome and healing process. Before proceeding with permanent makeup, a thorough consultation should be conducted to assess any potential risks based on these or other health concerns. Always choose a licensed and experienced practitioner who can provide a safe and effective treatment plan tailored to your health and beauty needs.
  • How long does permanent make up last?
    The effects of permanent make up can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on the area treated, skin type, age, and skincare routine. Color refreshers are recommended every few years to maintain clarity and vibrance of the pigment. Q: How long does microblading eyebrows last? Microblading is a form of semi-permanent makeup that typically lasts between 18 to 30 months. The longevity of the results depends on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. A touch-up session is usually recommended around 12 to 18 months to maintain the shape and saturation of the brows. Q: How long does micropigmentation for eyebrows last? Eyebrow micropigmentation, often considered more durable than microblading, can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years. This variation is due to the deeper pigment implantation compared to microblading. Similar to microblading, external factors like sun exposure, skin type, and skincare routines can affect the duration of the results. Periodic touch-ups can help prolong the effects. Q: How long does lip blush last? Lip blush tattoo typically lasts between 2 to 3 years. This duration can be influenced by factors such as the natural rate of exfoliation of your lip skin, lifestyle, and adherence to aftercare recommendations. Like other PMU treatments, fading is gradual, and touch-ups can be performed to refresh the color and outline of the lips. Q: How long does eyeliner PMU last? Permanent eyeliner usually holds its appearance for about 3 to 5 years. Over time, the pigment may start to fade, requiring a touch-up to restore the definition and intensity of the liner. The longevity of eyeliner PMU is influenced by the quality of pigment used, the depth of application, and your skin's response to the pigment. For all these treatments, please connect with us. We can provide detailed care instructions and help you understand what to expect based on your specific skin type and lifestyle. Regular follow-ups and maintenance sessions are crucial to keep your PMU looking its best.
  • Will I still have to use makeup after I get my brows or lips done?
    After getting your brows or lips done through microblading or micropigmentation, you might find that you use less makeup on these areas. The procedures are designed to enhance your natural features by adding color, shape, and definition, which can reduce the need for daily makeup application. However, whether you choose to use additional makeup will depend on your personal aesthetic preferences and the specific results you’re aiming for. Some people may still opt to apply makeup for a more dramatic look or to adjust the tone for different occasions. Essentially, these cosmetic treatments offer a base that can simplify your beauty routine, but they don't necessarily eliminate the use of makeup altogether, especially for those who enjoy experimenting with different styles.
  • What is microblading and how does it enhance eyebrows?
    Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates the illusion of fuller eyebrows by manually implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin using a fine blade. This method is ideal for anyone wanting to enhance the look of their eyebrows with realistic-looking hair strokes, regardless of the natural amount of hair present. Understand the after care for Microblading
  • Are touch ups necessary or required?
    Touch-ups for cosmetic procedures like microblading or micropigmentation are generally recommended but not always required. The necessity of a touch-up depends on several factors: Type of Procedure: Some procedures, like microblading, often require a touch-up to fill in any areas where the pigment may not have taken evenly or to adjust the shape and color after the initial healing process. Individual Healing: Everyone's skin heals differently, and factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare can affect how the pigment settles into the skin. Desired Outcome: Touch-ups can refine the appearance to meet your aesthetic goals more closely, ensuring satisfaction with the final result. Longevity of Results: While some treatments may look perfect initially, a touch-up can ensure that the results last longer, maintaining the intensity and clarity of the pigment. In general, it's common to schedule a touch-up session about 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure to address any concerns and enhance the longevity of the results. This follow-up allows the practitioner to make necessary adjustments and ensures that you achieve the best possible outcome from your treatment.
  • Do I have to book a consultation before having my procedure?
    If you are over the age of 55, or have previously been tattooed, yes i prefer we do an in studio consultation. We require an in-studio consultation as we would like to analyze the integrity of your skin to make the best choice for you. For new and virgin brows, a consultation is not necessary as a detailed consultation is part of your appointment. If you have previous work done by another artist, a clear photo must be submitted here to ensure your previous work is light enough to work over.
  • Does permanent makeup affect my eyebrow/eyelash hair and growth?
    Permanent makeup procedures, such as microblading or micropigmentation, generally do not affect the natural growth of eyebrow/eyelash hairs. These treatments involve implanting pigment into the skin beneath the brows/lashes and do not usually interact with the hair follicles themselves, so they should not hinder hair growth. However, there are a few considerations: Technique and skill: It's important that the procedure is performed by a skilled technician who understands how to properly apply the pigment without damaging the skin or hair follicles. Aftercare and healing: Proper aftercare is crucial to prevent infection and scarring that could potentially affect hair growth. Following your technician’s aftercare advice helps ensure a healthy healing process. Pre-existing skin conditions: If you have any skin conditions that affect your eyebrow area (like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis), discuss these with your technician before undergoing any permanent makeup procedure, as these conditions might influence both the procedure's results and your hair growth. If you have concerns about how permanent makeup might affect your eyebrow hair, it's a good idea to discuss them with us before deciding to proceed with the treatment. We can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and skin type. Also understand the aftercare procedure for each procedure beforehand.
  • Can I see the anticipated outcome before you start the treatment?
    On the day of your appointment, we will have a detailed discussion about your aesthetic goals for your brows or lips, including your personal beauty preferences and the overall look you aim to achieve. After making sure you understand the aftercare steps, we customize and design eyebrow, lips and eyeliner shapes tailored to your natural look, the direction of hair growth, your distinct facial features, and the overall shape of your face. Our objective is to achieve perfect balance—not symmetry, as perfectly symmetrical faces are not common. Instead, we focus on creating a harmonious appearance. Before beginning the procedure, we ensure that you are completely satisfied with the proposed shape, balance, and thickness. Only after receiving your approval do we proceed with the actual treatment.
  • Is permanent makeup painful?
    Permanent makeup procedures, such as microblading or micropigmentation, involve some level of discomfort, but the level of pain experienced can vary widely from person to person. Most clients describe the sensation as minor discomfort rather than pain, and there are several ways to manage it: Numbing creams: Technicians typically apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area before and during the procedure to minimize discomfort. Individual pain tolerance: Sensitivity can vary, and what feels like a mild irritation to one person may feel more painful to another. Procedure location: Some areas of the face, like the lips, may be more sensitive compared to the eyebrows. Overall, while there is some discomfort associated with permanent makeup, it is generally manageable, and many find the results worth the brief discomfort experienced during the procedure. If pain is a concern, discuss it with your technician beforehand; they can provide additional numbing or adjust their techniques to help make you more comfortable.
  • How to prepare for your PMU appointment?
    Comprehensive pre-care instructions for your PMU appointment Preparing for your permanent makeup (PMU) appointment is crucial to ensure the best possible outcome. Here are several steps you can follow: 1. Consultation Understand the procedure: Ensure you have a clear understanding of what the procedure involves, potential risks, and what results to expect. Discuss any concerns or questions with your PMU artist during a pre-appointment consultation. Book now 2. Medical Health Disclose health conditions: Inform your technician about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking, as some may interfere with the healing process or the procedure itself. Blood thinners: Discontinue any blood-thinning medications with your doctor's approval. This includes aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain herbal supplements like green tea, vitamin E, and fish oil. Tylenol is acceptable if pain relief is needed. Avoid specific substances: Refrain from consuming alcohol, caffeine, and energizing drinks 24 hours before your appointment to minimize any potential bleeding or swelling. Retinol use: It's recommended to stop using retinol or any retinoid products around the area where you plan to have permanent makeup (PMU) applied at least 4 weeks before your appointment. Retinol can significantly affect the skin's sensitivity and its ability to heal properly after a procedure like microblading or micropigmentation. Ceasing use well in advance helps ensure that your skin is in the best possible condition to receive the treatment and heal effectively. 3. Skin Care: Facial treatments: Avoid waxing, threading, or tinting your brows at least 1 week prior. Do not undergo chemical peels, microdermabrasion, mesotherapy, or use retinoids around the treatment area for 4 weeks before your procedure. Botox and fillers: Schedule any Botox treatments no less than two weeks prior to your PMU appointment. For lip fillers, ensure there is a 3-month gap either before or after your lip blushing procedure. Tanning: Avoid tanning and sunbathing for 30 days before and after your procedure to prevent the sun's rays from affecting the treated area. 4. Lifestyle Adjustments Avoid certain substances: Refrain from drinking alcohol, taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood thinners for at least 48 hours before your appointment to reduce bleeding. Exercise: Avoid heavy workouts 24 hours before your session to reduce any excessive sweating and minimize swelling. Diet: Maintain a healthy diet leading up to your appointment but avoid alcohol and energizing beverages the day before to ensure minimal swelling. No caffeine: Avoid caffeine on the day of the procedure to help minimize sensitivity. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your procedure to keep your skin hydrated. 5. Dietary considerations Eat well: Have a healthy meal before your appointment to stabilize your blood sugar levels. This is especially important as it can help you feel more comfortable during the procedure. 6. Comfort and clothing Dress comfortably: Wear comfortable clothing and consider that you might be sitting or lying in one position for several hours. 7. Skin Preparation Clean skin: Come to your appointment with clean skin free of any makeup, especially on the area receiving treatment. Skin conditions: If you experience any signs of infection, trauma, or breakouts near the treatment area, contact your technician with photos 48 hours prior to ensure it is safe to proceed. 8. Post-Treatment Planning Aftercare products: Purchase any recommended aftercare products in advance if your technician has specific recommendations. Schedule flexibility: Keep your schedule light post-procedure to allow for downtime, if needed. 9. Mental Preparation Be ready for results: Understand that immediate post-procedure results may be darker or more intense than expected, and colours will settle over time during the healing process. 10. Special Considerations: Antibiotics: Some antibiotics can affect the pigment retention and overall results of your PMU. Please reschedule your appointment if you start an antibiotic course. Accutane Users: Clients must have discontinued use of Accutane for at least one year before undergoing any permanent makeup procedures. Preparing well for your PMU appointment will help ensure that the process goes smoothly and that you are comfortable throughout. Always follow the specific advice of your PMU artist as individual requirements may vary.
  • What is the recovery time for permanent make up?
    Most clients can return to their regular activities immediately following the procedure. However, the treated area may be swollen or tender for a few days. It's important to follow the aftercare instructions provided to ensure proper healing and to achieve the best possible outcome. Recovery time varies depending on the specific treatment, individual healing rates, and aftercare adherence. Here’s an overview of the expected recovery time for each of the discussed procedures: 1. Microblading (Eyebrows) Initial Healing: The first 7 to 14 days after microblading are crucial for healing, during which you may experience redness, slight swelling, and scabbing. Complete Healing: The skin typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks to fully heal. The color will stabilize and become more consistent once fully healed. A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled after 6 to 8 weeks to touch up any areas where the pigment may have faded or to correct the shape. 2. Micropigmentation (Eyebrows) Initial Healing: Similar to microblading, the first 1 to 2 weeks involve some swelling and light scabbing. Eyeliner micropigmentation may also result in some sensitivity to light and puffy eyelids. Complete Healing: Full recovery for eyebrow and eyeliner micropigmentation generally occurs within 4 to 6 weeks. As with eyebrows, eyeliner might require a follow-up session to perfect the line or fill in gaps. 3. Eyeliner Tattoo Initial Healing: The eyelids may swell and feel tender immediately following the procedure. This usually subsides within a few days, although complete settling and fading of any intense initial color take about 2 to 3 weeks. Complete Healing: The full recovery and stabilization of the pigment under the skin will take up to 4 to 6 weeks. Care must be taken not to rub the eyes, which can affect healing. 4. Lip Blush Initial Healing: Swelling and sensitivity are common in the first 24 to 48 hours post-procedure. The lips will also appear very vibrant initially, and this color intensity will begin to fade as the healing process continues. Complete Healing: Full healing usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, the lips peel and the color settles to a natural tint. A touch-up might be necessary to fill in areas where the color has faded unevenly. For all these procedures, the immediate aftercare is critical in determining the speed and quality of recovery. It involves keeping the area clean, avoiding makeup and direct sun exposure, and applying any prescribed ointments to assist the healing process. Each person's body reacts differently, so it's important to follow the specific aftercare instructions (for different types of treatments) provided by your technician and attend any recommended follow-up sessions to ensure the best results.
  • What are some risks/complications of permanent makeup?
    To ensure a secure and hygienic session, we use only new, disposable products and sterilized needles within a sanitized environment. While allergic reactions to pigments are uncommon, they can occur, particularly in individuals with heightened skin sensitivities or those who react to topical makeup products. We recommend conducting a patch test 5-7 days before your scheduled appointment to mitigate any risks of allergy. Additionally, while we strive for symmetry, perfect alignment is challenging as faces are naturally asymmetrical. Adjustments might be necessary during your follow-up session to correct any unevenness. Factors such as improper healing, infection, and insufficient aftercare adherence can lead to pigment loss. Although uncommon, some clients may experience bruising or swelling; applying ice packs can alleviate these symptoms, which typically subside within three days.
  • What if I don't like the result?
    Please note that healed results can vary from one client to another; in some cases, additional makeup like pencil or powder may still be necessary to achieve your desired results. Further appointments to perfect the outcome may be required and will incur additional charges. Prices are subject to change without prior notice. We always seek your approval before proceeding with any treatment to ensure that we meet your expectations as closely as possible. Due to the personalized nature of our services and the unique biological responses of each individual, we cannot offer guarantees or refunds. We strongly encourage potential clients to thoroughly research the procedures and understand aftercare and review various artists' work to make an informed decision before booking with us. Our commitment is to work closely with you to design and shape your permanent make-up to your satisfaction before the procedure begins, ensuring that you fully approve of the proposed look.
  • How will I look after the treatment and can I resume work immediately?
    After your treatment, the treated areas may appear darker and more defined initially due to the oxidation process that begins as your skin starts to heal. This appearance typically peaks within the first few days, making the treated area look bolder or darker. As the healing process progresses, the intensity of the color will fade to a more natural shade. As for returning to work, most people can resume their daily activities immediately. There is generally no downtime required, allowing you to go back to work the same day as your treatment. However, the visibility of the initial darker appearance might be a consideration depending on your comfort level and the nature of your job. Step-by-step aftercare instructions for the treatments offered.
  • What should I expect during the healing process?
    The healing process for any permanent make up typically goes through several stages and can vary slightly from person to person. Here's what you can generally expect during the healing period: 1. Immediate Aftercare Swelling and Redness: Right after the procedure, it's common for the treated area to be somewhat swollen and red. This usually subsides within a few days. Intense Colour: Initially, the pigment instilled will appear very bright or dark. This is normal and part of the process. 2. First Week Scabbing and Flaking: Within a few days, you may notice the outer layer of your skin starting to peel. It's important not to pick or peel on the treated area(especially lips) manually, as this can remove the pigment and affect the healing. Picking causes trauma to the treated area by pulling out the dermal layer holding the pigment resulting in outcome being suboptimal. Dryness: The treated area might feel particularly dry and tight. Using a healing balm as advised by your technician will help manage this without affecting the pigment. 3. Second Week Colour Fading: As it heals, the initial vivid colour will fade significantly. This fading process is normal and expected. The true colour will only be visible once the healing process is complete. Unevenness: During the healing, the colour may appear patchy or uneven. This is also a normal part of the process as the pigment settles into the skin. 4. Third and Fourth Week Pigment Settles: About 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure, the final colour will settle in. The healed colour is usually softer and more natural-looking than the initial appearance. 5. One Month and Beyond Touch-Up Appointment: Usually, a touch-up session is scheduled about 4 to 6 weeks post-procedure. This session is crucial for making any adjustments to the shape or to fill in areas where the pigment may not have taken well. General Tips: Follow aftercare instructions: Following your technician’s aftercare instructions meticulously will ensure the best results. Moisturize: Keep the treated area moisturized with a recommended healing balm or ointment to support the healing process. Avoid certain products: Stay away from cosmetic products containing acids or ingredients that could interact with the healing pigment. Sun protection: Once healed, protect the treated area from excessive sun exposure by using good quality SPF products (>SPF50) to maintain pigment longevity. Be patient: Healing is a process, and results will vary in the intermediate stages. Patience is key as your skin recovers and settles with the new pigment. Aftercare for different treatments. The entire healing process can take about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on individual factors such as age, skin type, and overall health. The treated area will go through various changes in this period, and the final results are usually seen after the touch-up session. If you have specific concerns during your healing process, it’s always best to consult directly with your technician.
  • How do I maintain my permanent make up after it heals?
    Maintaining your permanent makeup effectively after it has healed is key to ensuring the longevity and beauty of the results. Here are some general care tips for eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner: Eyebrows Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure: Prolonged sun exposure can fade the pigment faster, so apply a broad-spectrum, SPF 30+ sunscreen daily on the brow area. Moisturize: Keeping the skin hydrated can help maintain the integrity of the color. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse the area gently. Avoid using exfoliants or harsh chemicals that could fade the pigment prematurely. Touch-Ups: Schedule touch-up appointments as recommended by your technician, usually every 12 to 18 months, to keep your eyebrows looking sharp. Click for step-by-step aftercare. Lips Chapstick with SPF: Just like with eyebrows, the sun can fade lip color quickly. Use a lip balm with SPF protection to help maintain the pigment. Hydration: Keep your lips moisturized regularly with a hydrating balm to prevent dryness and flaking. Avoid Acidic Foods: Immediately after the procedure and during the healing process, avoid highly acidic foods that could interfere with pigment retention. Long-term, this is less of a concern but maintaining general care can prolong color clarity. Regular Touch-Ups: Depending on your lifestyle and body chemistry, lip color may fade within a couple of years. Regular touch-ups can refresh the color. Click for step-by-step aftercare. Eyeliner Avoid Rubbing: Avoid rubbing or touching the area excessively, as this can cause the pigment to fade or smear. Keep the Area Clean: Use gentle, oil-free cleansers to keep the eye area clean. Oily skincare products can cause the pigments to break down faster. Use of Eye Drops: If you need to use eye drops, wait until the healing process is fully completed, as they can affect the pigmentation. Annual Reviews: Even though eyeliner might not require as frequent touch-ups as brows or lips, an annual review with your technician can help address any fading or aesthetic changes. Click for step-by-step aftercare. For all permanent makeup: Avoid Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion: These treatments can lighten or remove the pigments if done over the area of your permanent makeup. Overall Skin Care: Maintaining overall skin health through proper hydration, nutrition, and skincare can extend the life of your permanent makeup. Always follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your technician as individual advice may vary based on the technique used and your skin type. Regular check-ups and touch-ups will help maintain the desired look over the years.
  • How often will I need touch ups for permanent make up?
    The frequency of touch-ups for permanent makeup can vary based on several factors, including the type of procedure, your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Here’s a general guideline for different types of permanent makeup: Microblading (Eyebrows): Typically, microblading requires a touch-up once every 12 to 18 months. This helps to maintain the color, shape, and detail of the brow strokes. Micropigmentation (Eyebrows and Eyeliner): This type of permanent makeup generally lasts longer than microblading. Touch-ups for micropigmentation might be needed every 2 to 5 years, depending on how the pigment retains in the skin. Lip Blush: Lip color can fade faster due to the nature of the tissue and frequent exposure to food, drinks, and lip products. Touch-ups for lip blush might be necessary every 1.5 to 3 years. It's important to consult with your technician after your initial procedure to get personalized advice based on how your skin reacts and retains the pigment. Regular touch-ups not only refresh the appearance but also adjust any changes that might have occurred due to natural skin aging or other factors.
