Permanent Makeup:

 

How long does the result last?

Generally, eyebrows and lips last up to 1-2 years and eyeliner lasts 2-3 years. Please note that results vary depending on client’s skin types, aftercare and lifestyles (sun exposure, chemical peel).

Each client’s skin will react differently to the pigment. Some skin types retain pigments better than others but on average most clients need a touch up session every 12 months.

 

Is the procedure painful?

This may vary according to each individual's pain threshold. Most clients feel comfortable during the procedure – you may feel some pressure, pinching or a mild pricking sensation.

The face is a sensitive part of the body

Prior to the procedure a topical anesthetic will be applied to numb the area, and also reapplied during the procedure if necessary. Everyone responds differently to anesthetics, however the pain level for the procedure is considered mild to none. Topical anesthetics used may contain lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine.

After the procedure, redness and slight swelling in the area is normal. Clients describe the area feeling similar to a light sunburn. Clients can take Tylenol but not aspirin or ibuprofen.

​

Is it safe?

Allergic reactions to permanent makeup procedures are extremely rare. The cosmetic pigments are medical-grade and manufactured from completely natural ingredients. We use disposable sterile needles and latex-free surgical gloves for every procedure. Hygiene is the most important factor!

​

Will my eyebrows look "natural?

Yes, your eyebrows will look more natural than your own conventional make-up. Unless you tell somebody you've had the procedure, they'll never know. Our method is either based on "natural-looking" hair strokes for brows or powdered effect.

​

How does the semi-permanent makeup look immediately after the procedure is done?

Depending on your skin type you may experience minimal redness and swelling. Colors will appear darker and somewhat unnatural for the first few days and then lighten to a more natural look during the following weeks.

Pigment colors can be soft and natural-looking, or a bit bolder and dramatic – we can adjust this to get the perfect look you want. We can deepen the color with additional applications, or lighten the color slightly based on your preferences.

​

How long does each procedure take?

Procedure time can slightly vary depending on each client’s skin types.

Average procedure time is approximately 2.5 hrs including pre-draw.

How many appointments will be necessary?

5-8 weeks after the initial session, a follow-up visit is required to perfect the initial result. (Follow-up visit is 1hr) Depending on your skin type, the color will fade by 20-50% from the initial session. Follow-ups are highly recommended, 5-8 weeks after the 1st visit. Certain areas may not pick up during the first session and will need to be refilled.

Pigment color may need to be adjusted, brow thickness, and more strokes can be added. Individuals with oily skin often require a deeper shade during the touch-up session as the oils tend to lighten the pigment. Most importantly, your touch-up session is when we refine your brows to ensure it looks perfect and retains the color for the whole year.

​

​Can I get my touch-up session sooner than 4 weeks?

Touch-up sessions should not be done earlier than 5 weeks after the initial session as pigment color has not fully settled into the skin. Most importantly, this is to prevent scar damage as the tissue requires time to completely heal.

​How much does permanent cosmetic make-up cost?

The average cost for the procedure is based on the procedure time and the technician’s expertise.

Our Prices start from $500 to $600 depends on technique and sessions.

​

Are Semi-Permanent Makeup truly permanent?

The longevity of semi-permanent makeup really depends on lifestyle, activities, and personal care. UV exposure, usage of medications, excessively dry skin, smoking, can all affect your results. Alpha-hydroxy, Retin-A, glycolic acids must be kept away from treated areas. Usage of these components will cause fading of pigmentation that will require additional maintenance over time. Applying sunscreen on treated areas will greatly prolong the longevity of the procedure.

​

What happens after a year?

Pigment retention can vary between skin types. Some clients may need a touch-up every 12 months to refresh the color and shape.

 If you get cold sores regularly, taking acyclovir or valacyclovir starting one day prior to your micro channeling will reduce the likelihood of a breakout due to your treatment.

• Discontinue retinol (2% or higher) or tretinoin at least 3 days prior to treatment.

• For your first treatment, (and treatments at .25mm in general) numbing cream is typically not necessary, and you can expect mild redness and swelling, and a tight, warm sensation for between 4 & 24 hours.

• If your liver, kidneys, and immune system are healthy, taking an NSAID such as Ibuprofen 2 hours before treatment may reduce any discomfort.

• Later treatments with longer needle lengths may require topical numbing cream, and can produce redness and swelling along with tiny flecks of redness for between 4 & 72 hours.

• If you are being treated with PRP or PRF drink an extra 24-32 oz of water for two to three days prior to treatment.

• If possible, please arrive at the office without makeup on, and with a clean face.

• If you’ve had Botox, Fillers or Threads injected you must wait at least two weeks before getting micro channeling. And you must be satisfied with the results before we can offer you any other treatments.
