Do I need a consultation first?
The pre-visit call is free and optional. It helps you and your artist choose the technique and plan the visit.
How long does it take to heal, and do I need a touch-up?
Initial healing takes about 7 to 14 days and the skin settles in about 4 to 6 weeks. We very strongly recommend an optional touch-up 4 to 6 weeks after the main procedure to perfect the result and help it last longer. A Color Booster about a year later refreshes the color.
How does permanent makeup work?
By medical point of view the permanent makeup technique is the introduction of pigment (ink) into the upper layers of the skin with a special machine and a sterile needle. It practically silently with the help of transitional movement introduces the ink under the skin according to a given sketch.
Step 1
When the ink penetrates the skin, the body reacts and around the needle-damaged area of the skin accumulate special local immunity cells which begin to absorb the destroyed skin fibers together with the pigment particles. The pigment in the cells is not digested. They die and the permanent makeup remains.
Step 2
The skin restoration process is started and lasts about a month. A crust of blood and lymph is formed on the surface, it protects the wound from damage. During the recovery process skin becomes less transparent and the ink in it less visible. At this time it seems that the paint is turning pale.
Step 3
About 3-4 weeks after the procedure active restorative process are completed and the skin becomes more transparent. At this stage ink becomes more visible, so the permanent makeup looks more saturated. In this form it will remain for many months. So it's clear how to change the shade or shape using the correction procedure.
