The procedure is minimally invasive, with results visible immediately after treatment. The color will soften over the next few weeks to reveal a more natural, long-lasting look.
Before Treatment
Avoiding any skin treatments or exfoliants in the area to be treated before your permanent makeup session is essential. Your provider will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and choose the best pigment shade to match your skin tone.
During Treatment
In general, the procedure takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the areas being treated. A topical numbing cream minimizes discomfort. During the procedure, pigments are applied using fine needles to ensure precise placement and natural-looking results.
After Treatment
You may experience minor redness or swelling after the treatment, but this typically subsides within a few days. Avoid sun exposure, heavy sweating, or touching the treated area until it heals fully. Over the following weeks, the pigment will fade slightly, leaving a soft, natural finish.
Makeup that is applied permanently is ideal for individuals looking for a quick way to apply makeup or for those with allergies or sensitivities to conventional makeup. It’s also a great option for people with active lifestyles who want long-lasting results without smudging or fading.
