Frequently Asked Questions About Permanent Cosmetics

Will this save me time and money on cosmetics?

Yes, permanent makeup saves you both time and money. Though touch-ups are required every couple of years to keep your makeup fresh, you will be able to eliminate the hours spent applying certain basics. You will also eliminate the constant checking of your makeup to see if there has been any smudging, flaking or general fading throughout the day. You will no longer have to spend money on your monthly make up products or waste dollars having it professionally done. Working closely with you, your technician will give you the optimum results for your lifestyle and enhancement of your natural beauty.

How long will it take to recover from the procedure?

Upon completion of the procedure, a cool compress is applied to the area. An ointment rich in vitamins A and D will aid healing and will moisturize the tender areas. You may find that you are more sensitive to light and may benefit from wearing sunglasses if you are in a climate with bright sun. Eyebrow procedures have the least swelling, yet remain sensitive to the touch for a day or so. Lip color often involves temporary swelling. Please inform us if you have a history of fever blisters so medication can be prescribed prior to the lip procedure.

Is the procedure uncomfortable?

Your comfort is important. Topical anesthetics, in the form of creams and gels, are applied prior to and during the makeup procedure. Some people describe the sensation as a tingling feeling. There is minor discomfort for most procedures, with the lip procedure generally being the most sensitive. A general pain reliever, like Advil or Tylenol will ease any discomfort you may feel afterward.

Are permanent cosmetics like makeup?

You may not choose to have permanent cosmetics replace all of your conventional makeup. Color implanting can reduce skin discoloration and enhance features. With permanent cosmetics, there is no need for constant reapplication, saving you both time and money.

How long do permanent cosmetics last?

Permanent cosmetics can last up to two years, but will fade over time. As you become used to your new makeup it is not uncommon to want more. The darker the color, the longer it will stay unchanged. Natural and delicate colors are more likely to lose their pigment with exposure to sun and frequent swimming.

Are there any permanent cosmetics artists I should avoid?

Untrained, unskilled and unlicensed permanent cosmetics can ruin your looks. Bargain permanent cosmetics will double your costs when you need to repair the damage to your face. And repaired permanent cosmetics can’t be as attractive as doing the job right the first time.
