Answer:
Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a technique where pigment is implanted into the skin to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. The result mimics the look of makeup, providing a long-lasting solution.

Answer:
The longevity of permanent makeup varies depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Typically, it lasts between 1 to 3 years, with annual touch-ups recommended to maintain the best results.

Answer:
Most clients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to reduce any pain. Sensitivity varies, but most describe it as a mild scratching or tingling sensation.

Answer:
The healing process usually takes 7-14 days. Initially, the area may appear darker and slightly swollen, followed by light scabbing. Over time, the pigment will soften and settle into the skin, revealing the final result in about 4-6 weeks.

Answer:
Aftercare includes:

• Keeping the area clean and dry for the first few days.
• Avoiding makeup, swimming, and direct sunlight during the healing period.
• Applying a healing ointment as recommended by your artist.
  Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided after your appointment.
