NL FAQ
Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a technique where pigments are implanted into the upper layer of the skin to enhance facial features. It can be used to create the appearance of makeup, such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip color.
Permanent makeup can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups are recommended to maintain the desired look.
Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical anesthetic is applied to numb the area and reduce any pain.
The duration of the procedure depends on the area being treated. On average, it takes about 1 to 2 hours per session.
Immediately after the procedure, there might be some redness and swelling, which usually subsides within a few days. Full healing can take up to 4 weeks, during which the pigment will settle and the true color will emerge.
Side effects are generally minimal but can include redness, swelling, and slight tenderness in the treated area. These typically resolve within a few days. Following proper aftercare instructions will help minimize any potential issues.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications like aspirin a day before the procedure. It’s also best to avoid sun exposure and any skin treatments that can irritate the area.
Aftercare involves keeping the treated area clean and dry, avoiding sun exposure, and not picking or scratching the area. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided after the procedure to ensure optimal healing and results.
Allergic reactions are rare, but a patch test can be performed prior to the procedure to check for any sensitivities to the pigments.
While permanent makeup is designed to be long-lasting, it can be lightened or removed through laser treatments or other removal methods.
Permanent makeup may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, skin disorders, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. A consultation with a professional will help determine if it’s right for you.
