DOES IT HURT? WILL THERE BE A LOT OF SWELLING?
Due to improved Topical Anesthetics pain and swelling is kept to a minimum. The more relaxed the client is, the higher the potential of no pain and no swelling. Relaxation also aids in pigment retention.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Generally, it last 3-5 years. Permanent Cosmetics will look best when the original Technician maintains it every year, or as needed, depending on the client's pigment retention.
WHY DOES IT ONLY LAST 3-5 YEARS?
The pigment will fade over time because of many factors such as skin exfoliation (both natural and chemically), sun exposure and medication. This is good because it allows the client the flexibility to modify their color and design as their taste and age change.
WHY IS IT CALLED PERMANENT?
Permanent cosmetics are considered permanent because once the pigment is implanted into the dermal layer of the skin it cannot be washed off like traditional cosmetics.
WHEN CAN I GO BACK TO WORK AFTER A PROCEDURE?
