What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is the art and science of implanting color into your skin. It is putting the right color in the right place so you can look better naturally. Specialized instruments allow your Permanent Cosmetic Professional to place color into the layer of skin known as the dermis. Because the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis, is always shedding and renewing itself, you are looking at the color through a thin veil of skin. When a procedure is completed, the color will appear darker than the final results. This is because the color in the top layer will flake off during the healing process, lighting the overall effect. It is a cosmetic invasive procedure that requires skill and experience and cooperation with your Permanent Makeup Professional. You are part of the team!

How long will it take to recover?
You'll look like you've had a good cry for several hours following eyeliner. It is advised to apply cold packs (not ice) for 10 minutes at a time during these first few hours. Also, it is important to wear sunglasses, as your eyes may be temporarily sensative to light. Eyebrow procedures have the least swelling. Lip color often involves temporary swelling. You must let your Permanent Makeup Professional know if you have a history of fever blisters so medication can be prescribed.

How long will my makeup last??
Permanent cosmetics last a long time, but not forever. As you become accustomed to your new makeup, it's not uncommon to want more. The darker the color, the longer it will stay unchanged in your skin. Natural, delicate colors are often more vulnerable to the effects of sun, swimming, and breakdown by the body's natural response.

Permanent makeup makes it possible to look better around the clock. When you look better, you'll feel better. Plus, you'll have more time and money to spend with your family, on leisure activities, and that much-deserved beauty sleep!

I'm afraid of pain... do the procedures hurt?
Topical anesthetics have been developed especially for permanent makeup procedures. The creams and gels we use are applied to the desired area before and during the procedure to assure you of the most comfortable experience possible. Some people describe the sensation as a "tingling" feeling. However, most people still experience some discomfort, especially for lip color procedures. How much pain? On a scale of 1-10, you will usually be somwhere between 0-3. Rarely is anything stronger than a Tylenol necessary for the discomfort and you won't have to miss work or take time off to recover.
