1. What are permanent cosmetics?

Permanent cosmetics, also known as permanent makeup, is a cosmetic tattooing technique that involves applying pigments to the skin to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. It provides a long-lasting solution to achieve a natural and polished look.

2. How long does permanent makeup last?

The longevity of permanent makeup varies from person to person and depends on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, and aftercare. Typically, it can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years before requiring a touch-up to maintain the desired results.

3. Are permanent cosmetics painful?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Topical anesthetics are applied to numb the treated area, ensuring a more comfortable experience. Sensations may vary, but any discomfort is generally well-tolerated.

4. How long is the recovery time after the procedure?

Recovery time is usually short, and clients can resume their normal activities within a few days. Some minor swelling, redness, and scabbing may occur initially, but they subside quickly. Please refer to the aftercare instructions for your specific procedure for more details on how to best maintain and care for your new look.

5. Can I choose the color and shape of my permanent makeup?

Absolutely! A thorough consultation is conducted to discuss your preferences, desired shape, and color choices for every service. Our skilled artists work closely with you to ensure that the final result complements your features and aligns with your vision.

6. Are the pigments safe?

Yes, the pigments used in permanent cosmetics are specially formulated and approved for cosmetic use. We only use high-quality Perma Blend pigments that are made specifically for permanent makeup procedures. Perma Blend pigments are safe for the skin and compliant with stringent EU standards.

7. How long does the procedure take?

The duration of the procedure depends on the area being treated and the complexity of the design. On average, the process can take between 2.5 to 5 hours from start to finish.

8. Do I need a touch-up after the initial procedure?

Yes, a touch-up appointment is recommended 6 to 8 weeks after initial procedures. Unlike other studios in the area, we offer free complementary 6 to 8 week touch-up sessions with every procedure to guarantee you get perfect results. These sessions ensure that the color and shape are perfected and helps extend the longevity of the results.

9. Can I still wear makeup after getting permanent cosmetics?

Absolutely! Permanent cosmetics can be the perfect addition to your existing makeup routine after your results have fully healed. However, you may find that you need less makeup overall due to the enhancement of your features achieved through the procedure.

10. How do I care for my permanent cosmetics?

We provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maintain the best results with the free aftercare kit that comes with every service. Superior care generally includes keeping the treated area clean, moisturized (not saturated), and avoiding excessive sun exposure, swimming, and certain skincare products for a few days.
