I can describe the process in 5 steps:
Consultation: To get started, I’ll have a chat with you. We’ll talk about what you want, what you like, and any worries you might have.
Design: Together, we’ll plan how you want your permanent makeup to look. We’ll pick the right colors that match your skin or hair.
Numbing: Before we begin, I’ll apply a numbing cream or gel to the area. It takes about 20-30 minutes to start working and helps make things more comfortable.
Application: Now, I’ll use a special machine to carefully put the pigments into your skin’s top layer. We can do this for eyebrows, eyeliner, lips, and even areola reconstruction.
Multiple Sessions: Sometimes, we might need more than one session to get the color just right or to make it last longer. It depends on what you want and the type of permanent makeup you’re getting.
When it comes to how you might feel during a permanent makeup session, it’s different for everyone. Here are some things to think about:
Topical Anesthetics: I often use numbing creams or gels to help reduce any discomfort. They can make the process feel less intense.
Area of Application: The area of your body we’re working on can affect how it feels. For instance, places like your lips or eyelids can be more sensitive than, say, your eyebrows.
Your Sensitivity: Everyone’s skin is unique, and some people are more sensitive than others. This can affect how much you feel during the procedure.
Don’t hesitate to talk to me if you’re feeling uncomfortable. I can make adjustments to help or provide more numbing if needed. Your comfort is important!
It depends on a few things, like type of procedure, your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Here’s a rough idea:
Eyebrows: Microblading or eyebrow tattoos usually last around 1 to 2 years or even more. You’ll likely need touch-ups to keep the color and shape looking great.
Eyeliner: Permanent eyeliner can last about 2 to 3 years, sometimes longer. You might want a touch-up now and then to refresh the color and definition.
Lips: Permanent lip makeup, such as lip liner or full lip color, typically lasts around 2 to 5 years. Lip color might fade faster because of eating, drinking, and sun exposure.
Remember, these are general guidelines, and how long your permanent makeup lasts can vary. It’s a good idea to chat with me about how to keep it looking fresh for as long as possible.
The way you recover from permanent makeup can be different for each person and the exact procedure you had, but here are some general guidelines:
- Initial Healing Period: Immediately after the procedure, you can expect some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days.
- Scabbing and Peeling: Over the next several days, you may notice scabbing or flaking in the treated area. It’s essential not to pick at these scabs, as it can affect the final outcome of your permanent makeup.
- Avoid Moisture: During the initial healing phase, it’s crucial to keep the treated area dry. Avoid swimming, saunas, and excessive sweating to prevent pigment loss or infection.
- Sun Protection: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight during the healing process, as UV rays can cause fading. Use sunscreen or wear a wide-brimmed hat when going outdoors.
Yes, there are specific aftercare instructions you should follow after getting permanent makeup to ensure proper healing and long-lasting results. I will provide you with detailed instructions, but here are some general guidelines:
- Keep the Area Clean.
- Avoid Moisture.
- Apply Aftercare Ointment.
- Avoid Sun Exposure.
- No Makeup.
- Avoid Touching or Picking.
- Expect Some Redness and Swelling.
- Be Patient.
- Follow-Up Care.
- Long-Term Care.
Like any cosmetic procedure, permanent makeup carries some potential risks and side effects that it’s important to know about beforehand. Here are a few to keep in mind:
- Infection: There is a risk of infection if the equipment, pigments, or the procedure environment is not properly sterilized.
- Color Changes: Over time, the color of your permanent makeup might shift or fade. Things like sun exposure, swimming, or certain skincare products can play a role in this.
- Scarring: In rare cases, the permanent makeup procedure can lead to scarring or keloid formation, particularly if the skin does not heal well.
- Pain and Discomfort: Some discomfort or pain during and after the procedure is normal, but excessive pain or prolonged discomfort could be a sign of an issue.
- Unwanted Outcomes: If the chosen color or shape doesn’t meet your expectations, it can be challenging to reverse or adjust permanent makeup. That’s why a thorough consultation and clear communication with your artist are crucial.
To minimize these risks, it’s essential to choose a qualified and experienced permanent makeup artist who works in a clean and professional environment.
Yes, you can absolutely choose the color and shape of your permanent makeup. In fact, customization is a key aspect of permanent makeup, as it allows you to achieve the look you desire. Here’s how the process typically works:
- Consultation.
- Color Selection.
- Shape and Design.
- Artist’s Expertise.
- Adjustments.
Keep in mind that the goal of permanent makeup is to boost your natural features and achieve a look that matches your style. Open and clear communication during the consultation and design stages is crucial for getting the results you want.
In most cases, you’ll probably need some touch-up sessions for your permanent makeup. These sessions are a regular part of the process, and they serve a few important purposes.
The timing for touch-up sessions can vary from person to person and depend on the type of permanent makeup you got. Usually, the first touch-up happens a few weeks after the initial procedure. It helps fix any spots that might not have healed evenly or where pigment faded. After that, you might need maintenance touch-ups every 1 to 2 years. How often depends on things like how much sun you get, your skincare routine, and how your skin reacts.
I’ll be here to guide you on when and how often you might need touch-ups based on your specific case. It’s important to listen to these recommendations to keep your permanent makeup looking its best.
If you ever decide you want to change your permanent makeup or you’re not happy with how it turned out, you can have it removed. There are a couple of ways to do it:
Laser Tattoo Removal: This method uses lasers to break down the pigment in your skin, which your body can then naturally get rid of. You might need several sessions, and it might not completely remove all colors.
Saline or Alkaline Tattoo Removal: With this method, a special solution is tattooed into the area to help lift the pigment. It can work for some types of permanent makeup, but it often takes more than one session.
It’s really important to talk to a pro who knows how to remove permanent makeup to figure out the best way to do it for you. Just remember, it can take some time and money to remove permanent makeup, and complete removal is not always guaranteed. Also, the level of discomfort during removal can vary, so ask about pain management options.
