FAQs for Permanent Makeup

Is it permanent?

Permanent makeup does fade in 1-7 years depending on how the client metabolizes the pigment and their lifestyle. It is important to keep sunscreen or sunglasses on the areas and keep alpha hydroxy acids away from it.

What areas can be done?

Eyeliner, eyebrows, lipliner and full lips.

Does it hurt to have it done?

Everyone’s tolerance for pain is different. People describe it as really annoying to a tickle, because we are a medical spa we have very good topical anesthetics.

How long does it take to do?

The initial fee covers two appointments. The first appointment is approximately 2 hours long and then you come back 4-6 weeks later for tweaking. Some pigment may not have taken or you may decide you want it thicker. The second appointment is generally shorter.

What if I don’t like it?

Although the procedure is considered permanent, there is some flexibility in changing the shape and/ or color at the second visit. We work together in the initial consultation choosing colors and shapes that will compliment your face and skin tone, so that you will be satisfied with the results.

Is there any down time?

You may be swollen for a few days, longer with the lip procedures, so it’s important to schedule it so as not to interfere with your social calendar.
