Answers To Your Common Questions
What exactly is semi-permanent makeup?
Semi-permanent makeup involves the application of pigment into the skin's upper layers to create lasting cosmetic effects, such as enhanced eyebrows, eyeliner, or lip color. Unlike traditional tattoos, they fade over time, typically lasting 1-5 years depending on the area treated and individual factors.
Ideal candidates are generally those looking for an enduring beauty enhancement who are not under 18, pregnant, nursing, or have specific health conditions like diabetes, skin diseases, or allergies to pigments. A consultation with a professional can help determine if semi-permanent makeup is right for you.
Discomfort varies by individual, but topical numbing agents are applied to minimize pain. Most clients describe the sensation as tolerable.
Typically, eyebrow treatments last 1-3 years, while lip and eyeliner may last up to 5 years. Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure can affect longevity.
The treated area may appear darker and more intense initially, with minimal swelling and redness. Healing stages include peeling and lightening of the pigment to its final color. Full aftercare instructions will be provided.

Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner, which generally include keeping the area clean, avoiding makeup and direct sun exposure, not picking at any scabs, and applying recommended healing ointments.
When performed by a certified and experienced practitioner using sterile equipment and high-quality pigments, semi-permanent makeup is considered safe. Make sure to research your practitioner's qualifications and reviews.
Most semi-permanent makeup applications require a follow-up touch-up after the initial healing process to perfect the look. The number of treatments needed can vary based on individual healing and the specific procedure.
