Is permanent makeup really permanent?
Because color is implanted into the upper reticular part of the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off, it is called permanent. However, as with any tattoo, fading may occur over time, requiring periodic maintenance, color re-enhancement or color refreshing.

How long does permanent makeup take to apply ?
The initial procedure for eyeliner, lips or eyebrows will generally take approximately 1 to 2 hours. Touch-up procedures usually do not require as much time.

Does it hurt?
You may experience some slight discomfort. This varies according to each individual's pain threshold and the skills of the technician performing the service. HOWEVER, there are different methods available to help with pain management, including topical anesthetic ointments that can minimize discomfort.

Is permanent makeup safe?
If proper sterilization and sanitary guidelines are met, permanent cosmetics should be completely safe. It is crucial to follow the strict guidelines of OSHA to ensure your safety:

  1. All needles are new and sterile for each client.
  2. Other machine parts are pre-sterilized and disposed of in a sanitary manner.
  3. Gloves are new for each client and changed during the procedure when needed.
  4. The technician is knowledgeable of environmental safety requirements.
  5. The treatment area is kept clean and neat.
