Ask for a portfolio of healed results, not just fresh photos. Healed photos should be taken 6 to 8 weeks after the session. Check that the studio uses single use needles opened in front of you. Pigment bottles should have a batch number and expiry date. Training certificates should name the specific technique.
Keep the area dry for the first 24 hours, then wash gently with mild soap. Apply the aftercare balm the technician provides, usually 2 to 3 times daily for 7 to 10 days. Avoid sun, pools, and saunas for 2 weeks. Do not pick scabs. Use SPF 50 on the area daily once healed to slow fading.
A first eyebrow session usually lasts 2 hours to 3 hours. The technician measures your face with a mapping tool, draws a shape with a pencil, and checks it with you. The pigmenting step itself is shorter. Lips and eyeliner often take 1 hour to 2 hours.
Skin never holds pigment evenly on the first pass, so almost every artist schedules a touch up at 6 weeks to 8 weeks. At this visit, gaps are filled, shape is refined, and the tone is corrected. Skipping this step often leads to patchy or uneven final results.
Ask to see healed photos taken 6 weeks after the session, not just day 1 results. Check that the studio follows local health rules and that the artist has a bloodborne pathogen certificate. A good technician will also refuse to work on active skin issues near the area.
Permanent makeup places coloured pigments into the upper layers of the skin using a fine needle. It is used for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip colour. The pigment sits about 1 to 2 mm below the surface. Results look like makeup but stay on through showering and sleep. It fades gradually rather than washing off.
Most clients describe the feeling as a scratchy vibration rather than sharp pain. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied 15 to 30 minutes before needling. Some areas, like the lips, are more sensitive and may need a second application. Numbing does not remove all feeling. Pain tolerance varies widely between people.
Eyebrows last 12 to 24 months on average before needing a refresh. Eyeliner can last 2 to 5 years. Lips fade faster, usually within 1 to 3 years. Sun exposure, skin type, and pigment colour all change the timeline. Oily skin breaks down pigment faster than dry skin. Plan repeat sessions as maintenance.
Ask if pigments are EU or FDA approved for cosmetic use. Confirm autoclave sterilisation for reusable tools and disposable covers for machine parts. A patch test 24 to 48 hours before the appointment checks for allergic reactions. People on blood thinners, pregnant, or with active skin conditions should wait.
Permanent makeup places coloured pigment into the upper layer of the skin using a fine needle. It mimics hair strokes, eyeliner, or a lip tint. The pigment sits about 1 mm to 2 mm below the surface and fades gradually over time, so the look is semi-long-term, not truly permanent.
