Who is a suitable candidate for permanent eyebrow treatment?
Permanent eyebrow makeup is suitable for everyone who wants to save time in the morning, always have perfect, natural-looking eyebrows with a smudge-free effect, fill in lost eyebrow hairs, and forget about eyebrow pencils, gels, and so on.
How long does a permanent eyebrow last?
Permanent eyebrow tattoos can last anywhere from one to two years, depending on your skin type and how well it keeps the color, as well as how well you follow the aftercare guidelines. If you want the color to last, you should plan to have it retouched with a color booster every 12 months (it is much cheaper). Some people are lucky and get much more time out of the treatment, while others need a retouch to transform the color.
How does your PMU artist determine the color and shape of your eyebrows?
Your artist will utilize several methods to create a brow shape as near your natural brow shape as possible. First, they will measure you based on your facial bone structure if you don’t have brow hair. Then, when you approve of the brow shape, your artist will take as much time as necessary to get it just perfect.
They will also select the right color for your brows based on your skin, hair, and eye color and apply it to your skin at the proper depth so that it remains semi-permanent for 1-2 years. Color theory is something important that our artists learn. So, there won’t be color surprises.
We also offer professional scar camouflage for those who struggle with scarring—the procedure helps effectively conceal visible marks on the skin, evening out tone and texture for a more aesthetic and confident appearance.
Is micropigmentation harmful to the existing natural eyebrows?
The short answer is “No”. While there are certain factors to consider, micropigmentation doesn’t have any long-term effect on how your natural hair grows, even if it appears your entire brow needs to be altered. Instead, they are encouraged to blend in with the stroked hairs for a more natural appearance. Only hairs that do not conform to the intended design will be removed.
Are permanent eyebrow makeup tools and pigments safe to use?
Yes, they are completely safe to use and high-quality. The procedure is fairly similar to that of getting a tattoo. However, you must perform this procedure at a trustworthy facility with well-trained technicians. At ANNA KARA’S PERMANENT MAKEUP STUDIO, our permanent makeup artists undergo rigorous training before using any of our PMU tools and pigments. So, you may rest assured that only specialists and experts will work on your ideal brows.
Is the permanent makeup procedure painful?
Since the proper numbing cream is utilized, the microblading-replacing procedure called Realistic Nano Hairstrokes is painless. Some unpleasant sounds may be involved, but you will be astonished at how little you feel. Some of our clients even fall asleep while having semi-permanent makeup applied.
How long does the eyebrow permanent makeup procedure last?
The full procedure for the eyebrow session should take about 2-3 hours. First, your artist will shape and style your brows for your approval during this session. Following that, they choose the pigment color. Finally, they begin the procedure once the client is pleased with the options.
What do I look like right after the permanent makeup treatment?
Brows may appear somewhat pink at first, but this is due to wiping away pigment throughout treatment and will fade within 1-2 hours.
How long does it take to heal?
Each person’s recovery from an eyebrow permanent treatment is unique. The entire healing process takes about 7-10 days. However, to avoid complications, you should follow your PMU artist’s pre- & post-care instructions.
Who is not a suitable candidate for a permanent eyebrow makeup procedure?
While eyebrow permanent makeup is great for most people, some individuals are not the right candidates suitable for these procedures:
- Those prone to post-inflammatory hypopigmentation or keloids
- Diabetic patients
- Patients undergoing chemotherapy
- People with oily skin
- Those with allergies to numbing agents
- Under the age of 18

FAQ
🔍 Who is permanent eyebrow makeup suitable for?
The procedure is suitable for those who want to save time on makeup, always have neat and natural eyebrows without smudging, fill in gaps in hair growth, and give up pencils, shadows, and gels for eyebrows.
⏱ How long does permanent eyebrow makeup last?
The result lasts for an average of 1 to 2 years. This depends on skin type, individual characteristics, and adherence to care recommendations. To maintain color intensity, it is recommended to have a touch-up (color booster) approximately once every 12 months.
➡️ How does the technician select the shape and color of the eyebrows?
The shape of the eyebrows is determined individually, taking into account the characteristics of the skull and face. If there is no natural hair, the technician takes measurements based on the bone structure. The color is selected based on skin tone, eye color, and hair color. The depth of pigment insertion is also taken into account to ensure that the result looks as natural as possible and lasts for 1 to 2 years.
Our technicians are trained in color theory to avoid unexpected color results. We also offer scar camouflage to visually even out the skin color in the scar area.
✅ Can the procedure damage natural eyebrows?
No. Permanent makeup does not have a long-term effect on the growth of natural hairs. Even if the shape of the eyebrows changes significantly, your own hairs are preserved and blend harmoniously into the new look. Only hairs that are out of shape are removed.
✅ Are the tools and pigments used for permanent makeup safe?
Yes. We use only certified, high-quality materials designed specifically for micropigmentation. At ANNA KARA’S PERMANENT MAKEUP STUDIO, all technicians undergo rigorous training before beginning their practice. You can be sure that the procedure is performed by professionals.
