FAQs About Permanent Make-Up
Eyebrows
1. What is eyebrow permanent make-up?
Eyebrow permanent make-up involves tattooing pigment into the skin to create the appearance of fuller, more defined eyebrows.
2. How long does it last?
Eyebrow permanent make-up typically lasts 1 to 3 yrs, depending on skin type, aftercare, and exposure to sun and chemicals.
3. Is the procedure painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort, as a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize pain and enhance overall comfort.
4. How long does the procedure take?
The process usually takes 4 hrs. This includes a comprehensive consultation, precise mapping of your desired shape, application of a numbing agent for comfort, and the actual tattooing procedure. We want to ensure that every detail is perfect, so you leave with beautiful, long-lasting results.
5. What is the healing process like?
Initial healing takes about 7 to 14 days, during which clients may experience some swelling, redness, and scabbing. It's normal for the eyebrows to appear darker initially and will lighten as they heal. The final results may take several weeks to fully settle.
6. Can I choose the shape and color of my brows?
Yes! During the consultation, your artist will discuss your desired shape and color based on your facial features and preferences. Additionally, a process called mapping will be used, where the artist defines the desired shape and symmetry of the brows using a pencil or skin-safe marker. This creates a template that guides the tattooing process, ensuring that the final result looks natural and complements the client's features.
7. Is the procedure similar to microblading?
Microblading is an older technique that uses a blade to create hair-like strokes. In our clinic, we utilize a newer method that employs needles instead. This allows for greater precision and accuracy, resulting in more natural-looking brows. Additionally, the smaller needle size leads to less pain and faster healing time.
