What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup, also known as semi-permanent makeup or micropigmentation, is a form of tattooing where colored pigments are injected into the skin to mimic regular makeup, such as eyebrows, eyeliner or lipstick.
Is permanent makeup suitable for everyone?
Permanent makeup is not suitable for everyone due to individual factors such as skin type, allergies and medical conditions. It is important to consult a qualified professional to assess whether it is suitable for you.
Are these painful treatments?
No, permanent make-up treatments are usually experienced as almost painless, thanks to the needles' surface, position and the technique used during application. An anesthetic cream is also used during the treatment to reduce discomfort.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Permanent makeup usually lasts for 1-5 years, but it gradually fades over time and rarely disappears completely.
How long do the treatments last?
The duration of the treatments can vary depending on the type of permanent makeup being performed and individual factors such as the customer's skin type and needs. The treatment usually takes 2-2.5 hours.
How does permanent makeup treatment take place?
During a permanent make-up treatment, colored pigments are injected into the skin using a specially adapted needle. The penetration depth of the needle is very superficial, and it passes the outermost skin layer without reaching the vascular dermis. The customer usually approves the recorded proposal before the actual tattooing process begins.
How do you choose the shape and color of brows, lips and eyeliner?
The shape and color of brows, lips and eyeliner are usually individually adapted to each customer. Before treatment, the specialist usually draws freehand using surveying techniques to outline the shape and color. The customer has the opportunity to approve the recorded proposal before the tattooing begins.
Which technique should you choose?
The choice of technique for permanent makeup depends on the customer's needs and wishes, as well as skin type and other individual factors. Different techniques can be done such as powder brows or microblading for brows, and the choice is always adapted to the customer's preferences and what suits their situation best.
Do you remove eyebrow hair before treatment?
No, before eyebrow tattooing, you must not pluck or wax your eyebrows on the same day.
Do you need to prepare before treatment?
Yes, it is recommended to prepare before a permanent makeup treatment. For example, one should avoid plucking or growing the eyebrows on the same day as the eyebrow tattoo, and one should not use eyelash serum or eyelash extensions before the eyeliner tattoo. There are also other specific instructions given in the contract for preparation for each type of treatment.
When should you avoid wearing permanent makeup?
Permanent make-up should be avoided if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and it is not recommended for people with skin conditions or other health challenges that could affect the result or the healing process. It is also important to avoid permanent makeup if you have severe allergies to ingredients used in the process.
What can be expected after treatment?
After a permanent make-up treatment, you can expect the area to be swollen, tender and visually sharp and dark for the first few days. A scab may also form, which usually falls off after 5-6 days. It is important to follow proper aftercare, including avoiding picking or scrubbing the tattooed area, and avoiding applying makeup directly to the treated area for the first week.
How much time does the healing take?
The healing time after a permanent makeup treatment can vary depending on individual factors and the type of treatment, but usually it takes a few weeks for the area to be completely healed. It is recommended to follow the specific post-treatment instructions given by the treatment specialist to ensure the best possible results.
