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.
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.
Keep the area dry for 24 hours, then wash gently with mild soap for 7 days. Apply the healing balm your technician gave you. Avoid sun, gyms, saunas, and swimming for 10 days. Do not pick at any flaking skin, since this can pull pigment out early.
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.
Price depends on the artist training, the technique used, and the city area. Microblading often costs more than machine shading because it is slower. Adding a numbing upgrade, removing old pigment with saline, or choosing a senior artist can raise the quote by 20 to 40 percent.
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.
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.
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.
Eyebrow work usually comes as microblading, which uses a hand blade to cut thin strokes, or as machine shading, which uses dots to build a soft fill. For lips, the common option is a lip blush. For eyes, it is a soft lash enhancement or a thin eyeliner line.
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.
