Is it actually permanent?

Permanent makeup can remain in the skin for 1 to 5 years making it long lasting but is also dependent on the colour used, area placed, your skin type, skincare routine and metabolism (& other listed in the next section).

 

Does it require maintenance?

Factors such as: sun exposure, medications, the use of creams/chemicals natural exfoliation (and the above) may cause your permanent makeup/micropigmentation to fade.

 

We suggest a touch up every 1-3 years to help maintain the shape and colour.

 

Is it painful?

A topical anesthetic is used to help reduce discomfort; however, everyone has a different pain tolerance. We have some clients who feel slight discomfort and others who fall asleep during the procedure.

 

Following your procedure your skin may feel tender, some say like a sun burn which will dissipate within a few hours to days.

 

DO NOT TAKE ASPRIN, IBUPROFEN, ADVIL or any other type of blood thinning pain killer prior to your appointment

 

What are the risks?

We take every necessary step and precaution to minimize the risks associated with permanent makeup/micropigmentation, however, it does entail an exceedingly small degree of risk including possible allergic reaction, infection, improper placement, and permanency. We like to take our time to ensure a proper consultation prior to and/or during your appointment to avoid any risk. It is important you follow the healing instructions set out for you.
