2. Is there any discomfort when applying permanent makeup?
Facial skin is very delicate and therefore some discomfort may be experienced. A highly effective topical anesthetic is used with excellent results. I am careful not to start any procedure until I am assured that you are comfortable.

3. How long does the permanent makeup procedure take?
Depending on how many procedures are done at one sitting, it could take approximately one to two hours.

4. Is permanent makeup really permanent?
No. We use the finest cosmetic colored pigments and they will soften in color over a 3 to 5 year period. The colors are very blendable and changeable should you wish to change the look. I suggest you let me "freshen" the color occasionally. Avoiding sun exposure and applying sun screen of SPF 15 or greater to the pigmented areas should prevent fading. You should avoid anti-aging skin products and chemical peels to the areas treated due to the premature sloughing of the skin layers that contain the pigment. If you care for your skin, your permanent makeup should continue to look beautiful for many years to come.
