Frequently asked questions.
What is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup, also known as Semi Permanent Makeup is an advanced type of cosmetic tattooing. In this, the pigments are inserted into the dermal layer of the skin; they cannot be washed off, and regular maintenance is required as they will disappear over time. These are not like the normal tattoos you get that go deeper into the skin.
What is the ombre technique in permanent makeup?
In permanent makeup, the Ombré technique gives a light to dark ombré effect with a soft powdered makeup look that is still natural looking. This procedure is also called semi-permanent and may last up to 1-3 years depending on skin type and the care you provide.
You discussed sparse brows, what’s that?
Sparse brows are the condition when you start losing hair from your brows and they are not as thick as they once used to be.
Is Microblading, Ombré technique a tattoo?
In microblading and semi-permanent makeup, some people may consider microblading and ombré as not a tattoo process. Permanent Cosmetics, Semi-Permanent Makeup, Microshading, Micropigmentation, Microblading, Ombre, Microfeathering, Hybrid, Shading, Eyebrow Embroidery, and 3D Eyebrows are all different names for the same procedure known as cosmetic tattooing. It is the process of placing pigment into the skin with any device.
What is the aftercare process for Ombre Brows?
To care for your Ombre Brow, try not to touch, scratch, rub, pick or peel the healing area with your fingers because they can be affected due to bacteria and allow it to flake off on its own. Do not use any kind of makeup or skin product till the healing process is done. Moreover, you may rinse your brows with water and lightly pat the area dry.
What is Inkless Stretch Mark Revision Technique and does it works?
The Inkless Stretch Mark Revision also known as the ISR technique is used for a skin treatment that reduces the appearance of the stretch scars to the point where they become less noticeable. It works as a vitamin serum that is applied to the skin after needling with a rotary tattoo machine.
Is Inkless Stretch Mark Revision safe?
We always suggest you check with the specialist first to see if such treatments will be safe for you or not. However, we do not recommend you to get ISR during pregnancy, nursing, diabetes, chemotherapy, sickness, and severe hyperpigmentation conditions.
Is this technique painful?
No, it’s not. It is not an entirely painless process, but it is normally not perceived as pain. Everyone has a different level of pain, so we don’t judge. It is just a bit of a scratchy sensation with a slight vibration.
What if I don’t like permanent make-up?
You will surely love it! Because before starting the process, the shape will be drawn. Together, we choose the color that suits you best. We will start when you are completely satisfied.
What if I have black or Asian skin?
It looks great on black and Asian skin. However, for permanent makeup, muted-natural colors will not be as visible, especially in the case of lips, so go for vibrant or darker shades to match your complexion.
How many appointments are necessary?
If you are getting this done for the first time, then we suggest you have two appointments. At the first appointment, we do a consultation, discuss what you want to achieve (shape, color, etc), fill in a medical questionnaire and consent form, go through aftercare instructions and aftercare balms to take home with you, and then do the treatment or several treatments. A month later, you will be called again for the final process.
When will I start to see the results?
Right after your first treatment, the color will look darker by 20-40% in between 4-7 days. But after 4-6 weeks, the true color and result will take on a more permanent appearance.
Will my brows start looking perfect?
Nothing is perfect in this world, and to expect perfect eyebrows is unrealistic. Cosmetic tattooing is a type of art to make sure that you will be satisfied.
Do you offer lip blushing?
Yes, we do. Lip blushing refers to semi-permanent makeup applied by a professional permanent makeup artist. It is a fine tattoo that uses natural shades or organic pigment to enhance the lips in different ways.
Can I get a tattoo if I am pregnant?
No, we don’t recommend this due to the risk of infection.
Can anyone take this treatment?
It is mostly for women. But semi-permanent makeup treatment is also available for men. Some women with very oily skin or enlarged pores might find the procedure ineffective. Certain medical conditions also prevent treatment from being allowed. So we will discuss all these factors before proceeding.
Will you shave my eyebrows before the process?
Uh, no! Never. Our purpose is to enhance your natural eyebrows by designing them to your shape. We only clean out the stray hairs to get the desired shape.
Is it expensive?
Not really. The semi-permanent makeup is a very reasonable investment. The treatment process takes just a few hours and can be done in 2 sessions.
Can I do my regular makeup after permanent makeup?
Of course, you can. It is not designed as a replacement for normal makeup, but it serves in particular to highlight. More makeup can always be applied for a day out.
Do you have any age restrictions?
Yes, there is a restriction for those under 18. So if you are 18+. Your ID is required before we begin your procedure.
