Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, involves implanting pigment into the skin's dermal layer for long-lasting results. Semi-permanent makeup, such as microblading, involves placing pigment closer to the skin's surface, resulting in a shorter duration of several months to a few years.
Permanent makeup can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups may be required to maintain the desired look.
Discomfort during the procedure is minimal, as a topical anesthetic is applied to numb the area. Most clients report feeling only slight pressure or a light scratching sensation.
Initial healing takes about 7-10 days, during which the treated area may appear darker and may flake. Full healing and the final result can be seen after about 4-6 weeks.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours before your appointment. Do not wax, tweeze, or tint the area to be treated for at least one week prior. If you have a history of cold sores, take antiviral medication to prevent outbreaks.
Aftercare instructions typically include keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding direct sunlight, and applying a recommended ointment. Do not pick or scratch the treated area during the healing process.
