Frequently Asked Questions - Permanent Makeup

Will it hurt?

No. Two topical anesthetics are used, one before the procedure and one during the procedure.

Might I be allergic to the pigments?

You can be allergy tested before we begin, but the chances of you being allergic are unlikely. I use top quality "biotouch" Pigments, and so far have never encountered an allergic reaction in anyone.

Is there downtime after a procedure?

You may experience slight swelling or redness which will subside quickly. You can however resume normal activity immediately.

What if I'm not pleased?

I see every client twice. A follow up visit is included in the fee. At that time we critique what was initially done and, if needed, we can add color or make changes.

Can I see what it will look like before we proceed?

I will show you what it will look like by drawing on your skin with removable marker. Or, if you prefer, you can use the marker yourself to show me what you want.

Is there a choice of colors?

Of course. And I will assist you in color selection based on your skin's undertones. This is extremely important to avoid color changes later on.

How long will it last?

In most cases it should last five to ten years, depending on your metabolism and other factors. A touch up will help to rejuvenate the color from time to time.

What makes it safe?

We use disposable one-time single use needles.
