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.
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.
Skin closes in about 7 days, but full healing takes 4 weeks to 6 weeks. During week 1 the colour looks 30 to 50 percent darker than expected. Mild flaking and itching are normal. If you see heavy swelling, hot redness, or pus, contact a doctor quickly.
For eyebrows, the common methods are microblading, powder brows, and combo brows. Microblading uses hair-like cuts; powder brows use small dots of pigment. Eyeliner can be a thin lash line or a wider shaded band. Lips can be tinted only or outlined and filled. Each technique uses different needle shapes and pressure.
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.
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.
Plan for 2 to 3 hours for the first visit. About 20 to 30 minutes is spent on shape mapping and pigment choice. The actual needling lasts 45 to 90 minutes depending on the area. Brows usually take less time than full lip shading. Rushing the mapping step is a common cause of regret.
Asymmetry, wrong colour, and scarring are the top complaints. Asymmetry comes from poor measuring during the mapping stage. Grey or orange brows come from using the wrong pigment depth for the skin tone. Scarring happens when pressure is too heavy or skin is needled over broken skin. Always review the drawn shape before starting.
Eyebrows usually look good for 12 months to 24 months before needing a colour refresh. Lips tend to fade faster, often within 12 months, because of cell turnover in that area. Lifestyle, sun exposure, and skin type change the timeline for each person.
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.
