Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, involves implanting pigment into the skin to enhance the appearance of your natural Eyebrows, Lips and Eyer. It’s a great option for anyone who wants to wake up looking beautiful every day without the hassle of daily makeup.

The healing process after permanent makeup (PMU) or Microblading typically involves several stages. Here’s a general overview:

1. Immediate Aftercare (Day 1): You may experience slight swelling and some oozing of pigment specially during the fists hours. This is normal.
2. First Few Days (Days 2-3):
   1. Crusting and Scabbing: The area might develop some crusting or scabs. Avoid picking at them, as this can affect the final results.
   2. Moisturizing: Apply the recommended ointment to keep the area moisturized.
3. Peeling Stage (Days 4-10):
   1. Peeling: The outer layer of skin may start to peel or flake. This can make the pigment appear lighter or uneven temporarily.
   2. Color Settling: Expect the color to soften as it settles into the skin.
4. Weeks 2-4 Healing: By the end of the second week, most of the peeling should be over. The pigment will continue to settle, and the final color will become clearer.
   1. Itching: Some mild itching can occur as the skin continues to heal. Avoid scratching.
5. Final Stages (1 Month and Beyond):
   1. Final Touch-Up: A touch-up appointment is often recommended 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure to address any fading or unevenness.
   2. Full Healing: Full healing can take up to several weeks, with the final results visible around 4-6 weeks after the procedure.
6. Aftercare Tips: Avoid sun exposure, swimming, and heavy exercise for at least a week. Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your artist for the best results. Remember, individual experiences can vary based on skin type, the area treated, and adherence to aftercare. If you notice any unusual symptoms (like excessive redness or infection), consult your artist or a medical professional.

The pain associated with permanent makeup (PMU) or microblading can vary from person to person, but many clients report that it is relatively mild. Some clients fall asleep during their service. We use topical numbing creams to minimize discomfort during the procedure. This can significantly reduce pain levels.

Preparing for a permanent makeup (PMU) procedure can help ensure the best results and a more comfortable experience. Here are some steps to take:

1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation to discuss your desired results, any concerns, and the procedure details. This is also a good time to ask any questions that you may have.
2. Avoid Blood Thinners: For a week before your procedure, avoid blood thinners like alcohol, caffeine, aspirin, and certain supplements (like fish oil) to minimize bleeding.
3. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to the procedure to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.
4. Skin Care: Avoid harsh skin treatments (like chemical peels or laser treatments) in the week prior to your appointment. The area must be in good conditions the day of the appointment.
5. No shaving /Waxing: If you’re having PMU done on your brows, avoid shaping them beforehand, we like to create a design from cero.
6. Makeup: You may arrive with your daily makeup, particularly in the area being treated, so we can have an idea of what you do on your daily basis.
7. Plan for Recovery: Arrange your schedule to allow for healing. Avoid significant social events for a week, as you may experience swelling or peeling and won’t be able to cover with makeup. You can do your normal routine just avoid sun exposure, getting the area soaking wet and avoid sweating for one week after your service.
8. Comfort Items: Bring any comfort items you might need, such as headphones, to help pass the time during the procedure.

The longevity of permanent makeup (PMU) can vary based on several factors, but generally, it lasts anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Here are some key factors that influence its duration:

1. Type of PMU:
   1. Eyebrows: Ideally 1 year but can last 1-3 years depending on how natural or dramatic the disired result.
   2. Eyeliner: Usually lasts around 2-5 years.
   3. Lips: Often lasts 2-5 years.
2. Skin Type: Oily skin may cause the pigment to fade

There are different methods for tattoo removal, however, removing is not as easy as doing permamnent makeup, it can take more than one session depending on the goal. It is important to schedule a consultation to discuss your feelings with the professional, who can guide you through your options. This is why is such an important desicion to choose an artist with experience and good skills.

Yes, you can still get permanent makeup (PMU) or Microblading done if you have sensitive skin, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind:

1. Consultation: Discuss your skin sensitivity with your PMU artist during the consultation. They can assess your skin type and recommend the best approach.
2. Patch Test: A test can be done prior to the procedure. This can help gauge how your skin reacts to the pigments and other agents.
3. Technique and Products: We use high-quality pigments and gentle techniques. Some methods may be better suited for sensitive skin.
4. Aftercare: Follow the aftercare instructions carefully to prevent irritation or complications. Avoid harsh products and sun exposure during the healing process.
5. Possible Reactions: Be aware that sensitive skin may have a higher risk of reactions. If you have a history of allergies or skin issues, be sure to discuss this with your artist.

By taking these precautions and working with a skilled professional, you can achieve good results even with sensitive skin!

2. Design and Mapping (10-15 minutes): The artist will draw the desired shape and color on your skin for your approval. This step ensures you’re happy with the design before any permanent work begins.
3. Procedure (1-2 hours): The actual application of the PMU can take about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the area being treated and the complexity of the design.
4. Aftercare Instructions (5-10 minutes): After the procedure, your artist will provide aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
