Permanent Makeup, also known as micropigmentation, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of pigment to enhance facial features. Common areas include, but are not limited to, eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. It’s also used for scar camouflage, areola restoration, and other paramedical correctional procedures.
The longevity of Permanent Makeup varies based on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and the specific area treated. On average, results can last from one to five years, and touch-ups may be required to maintain the desired look.
When performed by a trained and licensed professional, Permanent Makeup is generally safe. Ensure that the technician follows strict hygiene and safety protocols, including the use of sterile equipment and high-quality pigments.
Discomfort levels can vary among individuals, but most people report minimal pain during the procedure. Topical anesthetics are typically applied to minimize any discomfort.
The duration depends on the area being treated. On average, procedures take between one to three hours. Factors such as design complexity and the client’s pain tolerance can influence the time needed.
There is typically minimal downtime associated with Permanent Makeup procedures. Some redness and swelling may occur initially, but this usually subsides within a few days. Following aftercare instructions is crucial for optimal healing.
