Is Permanent Makeup Really “Permanent”?

Permanent makeup is similar to a tattoo, in that it will not wash off or smudge. Your skin’s natural exfoliation and the body’s natural breakdown of pigment may, over time, cause colors to fade. This is treated with a simple touch-up where the permanent color is restored.

The procedure takes approximately one to two hours, depending on the type of pigment coverage required.

Swelling and redness may be present for two to three days. A follow-up visit may be necessary for touchups because of skin textures and inconsistencies from previous scars and cold sores that can cause uneven pigment coverage.
