Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur during the first 24–48 hours. As the area heals, light flaking or peeling is normal and the pigment may temporarily appear darker or lighter.
Please do not pick or peel the treated area. The color will soften and gradually settle as the skin heals. Full healing can take up to 4 weeks, at which point we can evaluate the healed results and determine whether a touch-up is needed.
Please be patient and trust the healing process—your final results will develop gradually.
-
Most permanent makeup appointments take approximately 2–3 hours, including consultation, mapping, color selection, and the procedure itself. A perfecting touch-up is typically recommended 4–6 weeks later and usually takes about 1 hour.
-
If you have previous permanent makeup on your brows, lips, or eyeliner, please send a clear photo for evaluation before booking. Previous work must be sufficiently faded to safely achieve the best possible result. In some cases, removal or lightening may be recommended before a new procedure.

The number of sessions varies depending on the age, depth, color, and type of pigment used, as well as your skin and how your body responds to treatment. Some tattoos fade significantly after only a few sessions, while others may require additional treatments. Your progress will be evaluated throughout the removal process to determine what is best for you.
-
Initial healing typically takes about 7–10 days. During this time, the brows may appear darker before gradually softening and lightening. The color continues to settle as the skin heals, with the final healed result developing over approximately 4 weeks.
-
Permanent makeup is a two-step process: the initial session followed by a required perfecting touch-up. Because everyone heals differently, pigment retention can vary, and some areas may heal lighter or unevenly. The touch-up allows us to refine the color, shape, and overall result once the skin has healed.
For optimal results, the touch-up should be completed 4–8 weeks after the initial procedure. Optimal results cannot be guaranteed if the recommended touch-up is not completed.
-
Unfortunately No. The skin must be fully healed before a touch-up can be performed. Touch-ups should be scheduled no earlier than 4 weeks after the initial procedure to allow the skin to heal and the pigment to fully settle.

Discomfort is generally minimal and varies from person to person. A topical anesthetic is used throughout the procedure to help keep you comfortable. Mild tenderness, redness, or swelling may occur afterward and typically subsides quickly.
-
Permanent makeup typically lasts 1–3 years, depending on the procedure, skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine, sun exposure, and individual pigment retention. Results gradually fade over time, and maintenance sessions may be recommended to keep the color and definition looking fresh.
-
Your satisfaction is very important to us. Before the procedure begins, we carefully discuss your desired shape, color, and overall look, and the design is reviewed and approved by you.
Permanent makeup is a process, and the final result should be evaluated only after the area has fully healed and the required touch-up has been completed. Color and appearance may change throughout the healing process.
If you have any concerns, please contact us so we can evaluate your healed results and discuss the appropriate next steps.
-
Permanent makeup is generally well tolerated when performed with proper hygiene and safety protocols. However, as with any cosmetic procedure involving the skin, possible risks may include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, irritation, infection, allergic reaction, or uneven pigment retention.
Following all pre-care and aftercare instructions is essential to support proper healing and minimize complications. If you have known allergies, sensitive skin, or any medical concerns, please let us know before your appointment.
-
Permanent makeup may not be suitable for everyone. You should not receive treatment if you are pregnant or nursing, under 18, have an active infection or skin condition in the treatment area, or have a medical condition that may interfere with healing.
Certain medications, recent cosmetic treatments, allergies, or medical conditions may also require medical clearance or postponing your appointment.
Please disclose all relevant medical conditions, medications, allergies, and recent treatments before your appointment. If you are unsure whether you are a candidate, contact us before booking.
-
Proper preparation helps support the best possible results. Before your appointment, avoid alcohol, excessive caffeine, and blood-thinning medications or supplements when medically appropriate. Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your healthcare provider.
Avoid tanning, sunburn, chemical peels, exfoliating treatments, or irritating skincare products around the treatment area before your appointment. Please arrive with healthy, intact skin and let us know about any recent cosmetic treatments, medications, allergies, or medical conditions that may affect your procedure or healing.
Specific preparation instructions may vary depending on whether you are receiving brows, eyeliner, or lip blush and will be provided when applicable.

The best technique depends on your skin type, natural brow hair, lifestyle, desired result, and whether you have previous permanent makeup. During your consultation, we will evaluate your brows and recommend the most appropriate technique for you.
Nano Brows create soft, realistic hair-like strokes, while Powder Brows provide a more defined, softly shaded effect. Combination Brows blend both techniques for added dimension and definition.
If you have previous permanent makeup, the existing pigment must be evaluated before a new treatment can be recommended. Nano Brows are not intended to cover dark, heavily saturated, discolored, or poorly shaped previous work. In these cases, removal or lightening of the old pigment may be recommended before proceeding with a new brow treatment.
Once the previous pigment has been sufficiently removed or lightened and the skin has fully recovered, we can reassess the area and determine the best technique for your new brows.
-
You can return to most normal daily activities after your permanent makeup appointment, but the treated area requires special care while healing.
Avoid makeup directly on the treated area, excessive sweating, intense exercise, swimming, saunas, steam rooms, and prolonged sun exposure during the initial healing period. Keep the area clean and follow the aftercare instructions provided for your specific procedure.
Healing time can vary depending on whether you received brows, eyeliner, or lip blush, so you will receive specific aftercare instructions for your treatment. When in doubt, contact us before applying products or resuming activities that may affect the healing area.
