Permanent Makeup
Look and feel your personal best...
Permanent makeup mimics the look of just-applied lipstick, lip liner, eyebrow pencil and eyeliner. The procedures are performed through a process called micropigmentation using various devices, including the traditional tattoo coil machine, rotary machine and a manual pen. The tattoo device is used to inject pigment into the upper layer of the dermis.
Permanent makeup will add balance to your face and give you confidence. It enhances your appearance by working with colors and designs to blend naturally with your skin tone. Whether it is your eyes, lips or complementing your hair, your best features will sparkle. You can really enjoy the look you want that will truly transform your face, and change your daily life for the better. You will never have to worry about your makeup smearing or rubbing off again!
Each procedure takes between 1 to 3 hours. The process includes a consultation, the procedure and at least one or more follow-up visits for evaluating the healed design work. Just like any tattoo, the color will appear bold and intense immediately after the procedure then gradually fade as it heals. It is common for the area to be swollen for 2-5 days and crust over before healing.
People who meet the minimum age requirements and have the ability to heal properly from minor wounds can benefit from the liberating benefits of permanent makeup.

Getting Your Eyebrows Done
**Please bring in an ID for proof of age. No procedure will be perform without an ID.**
Before Your Procedure
Medical history and consent forms will need to be filled out. A copy of an ID is required to be filed with your forms. You and your technician will start with brow designs. This is a good time to let your technician know what you like and hope to achieve. If you have photos of your ideal brows, you can bring them to your appointment. Once your desired look is achieved, numbing agent will be applied for 15-30 mins. Your technician will then perform the tattoo.
During the Procedure
It may take up to 3 hours to complete. Please be prepare to spend a few hours at the studio. The lack of time would likely result in a dissatisfied outcome.
After the Procedure
You will be given aftercare instructions. The area will appear darker, more intense and bold in color. This can last up to 10 days after the treatment while the initial healing process takes place. The treated area may feel a bit like sunburn, but there should be minimal discomfort.
Touch-up
Touch-up is done at 4-8 weeks after the initial appointment. It is common that the first heal result will be patchy and likely to be much lighter than expected. Areas that did not retain the pigments will be filled in and additional color will be applied for a crisp finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will microblading work on me?
If you have oily skin, Microblading may NOT work well for you to have an individual hair stroke look. The constant production of oil will cause the hair strokes to heal with a diffused, softer look. Please keep in mind that multiple touch-ups may be need as oily skin makes it harder for the pigments to retain. Other things that may also cause poorer results are:
-
If you are a frequent smoker.
-
If you are iron deficient or Anemic, your pigment will fade sooner and bleeding/bruising may occur during and after the procedure.
-
Unhealthy compromised skin due to health issues, medications and over use of (anti-aging, acne skincare, etc…) are all factors in the outcome.
-
For clients with darker skin tone, the hair strokes will not appear as defined or as dark as it will on lighter skin. Microblading may not be the best option or additional touch-ups may be needed.
To keep your hair strokes looking good, a refresher appointment is suggested every 1 to 2 years. Results vary with each client’s lifestyle and health of their skin.
What is the healing process like?
Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. True reflection of healed color can only be assessed 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment. It will go from too dark, to too light, to just right.
Immediately after the procedure, the pigment will appear very sharp, intense and dark. The color of the pigment will soften. Do not be alarm if you see some pigment coming off as the skin ooze. It is just the excess pigments. Once the healing process starts taking place, the eyebrows will start to look like dandruff flakes coming off. Do not pick them. Your eyebrows will be lightest at day 10-14. The colors will come back between day 21-30 and healing will be complete in 30-60 days.
Why can’t I get a touch-up session sooner than 4 weeks?
Touch-ups cannot be done within 4 weeks or less because your skin needs to properly heal. During the healing weeks, the pigment color hasn’t fully settled into the skin yet, and most importantly, the skin tissue needs to heal to prevent permanent scarring.
Why do I have to come back for a touch-up?
It is highly recommended that you do not skip out on the first touch-up session after the initial appointment as it is the finishing touch to really perfect the procedure. Your procedure is not considered COMPLETE until you've had both the initial and touch-up sessions done. It is a 2-step process. Please note that more touch-ups may be needed as everyone heals differently and has different desired outcome. This is especially true for clients who have prior tattoo(s) on the area or seeking corrections/removal.
What if I don’t like my result?
We will always do our best to give you the best result. However, it is highly recommended that you do your research and look for a technician whose skills and style closely match what you hope to achieve. Be sure you are ready to get permanent application as the final result will be on your face for years to come. If after healing and you still don’t like the result, it is best to let it fade over time and cover it up with makeup in the process. Your other option is to wait for the area to completely heal and then get a removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the Traditional Tattooing process and Permanent Makeup?
While both procedures involve implanting color into the skin, traditional body tattoo uses different techniques that implant the color much deeper. Traditional tattoo commonly use ink instead of pigment. Permanent makeup, on the other hand, uses pigment that is design to have a softer look that mimics makeup application and gently fade over time.
Is this procedure painful?
Topical anesthetic creams/liquids are used to minimize discomfort. Most find little or no pain.
What is involved in recovery?
There will be slight swelling and redness in the skin, which will subside quickly. The tattooed area will be intense in color and seem a lot thicker and bolder but all of that will reduce significantly after it is healed. You may resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. Complete healing takes 4-6 weeks while the pigmentation matures and reaches its final color.
Is a touch-up necessary?
Everyone heals differently, and additional touch-ups may be needed to achieve the desired result. Depending on your lifestyle and how well you take care of your tattoo, a touch-up may not be needed at all for several years after your completed procedure. The before and aftercare is crucial to getting great lasting results. Also, if you avoid using creams with glycolic acid and use sunscreen even after the area is healed, you can expect 3-5 years. Eyeliner lasts a little longer and so does the lips.
Why did my result fade sooner than expected?
a) Frequent exposure to sunlight or UV light.
b) Body breaks down foreign bodies when possible and eliminates them.
c) Use of glycolics, Retin-A, products for wrinkle treatments, exfoliants and bleaching skin products are
having an adverse effect on permanent makeup. Please avoid contact to the tattooed area.
d) Oily skin or iron deficiency.
e) Smoking.
