Frequently asked questions
How long does the procedure take to complete?
The average time required for a procedure is
between one to two hours.
What is permanent makeup?
It is the micro-implantation of coloring pigments into
the skin for aesthetic purposes to enhance, contour,
and outline facial features. It is also a valuable
procedure for camouflaging scars, burns, skin
pigmentation variances caused by vitiligo, correcting
some facial irregularities, or to further enhance facial
rejuvenation and post-operative treatments.
ls permanent makeup a safe procedure?
At Permanent-Line, the procedures are performed
under sterile conditions, using only disposable
needle cartridges and with digitally controlled
implantation device. There are no long-term side
effects; short-term effects may include some
redness, swelling, and tenderness. There are no
known allergic reactions to pigments.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Gradual fading can be expected for all micro-
pigmentation procedures. This varies among people
and is dependent on the specific shade used,
personal care routine and sun exposure. Most colors
last 1 to 5 years, although some may not fade
for as long as 10 years. Periodic touchups are
recommended to maintain the desired look. You can
also choose to change colors of your permanent
makeup. For instance, a nude lip color can be
modified to a peachy pink or a brown eyeliner to a
black or navy hue.
ls permanent makeup similar to tattooing?
It has some of the same qualities, yet it is very
different. Only specialists in micro-pigmentation can
perform this procedure on the face; tattoo artists
cannot. Permanent-Line uses only the techniques,
tools, and pigments specifically designed for micro-
pigmentation procedures, making it safe, sterile, and
painless. Permanent makeup clinicians also use
effective topical anesthetics that are not allowed for
use by tattoo artists. Permanent-Line uses
instruments much more delicate in design that
provide natural-looking results.
Is there any discomfort associated with the procedure?
Unlike in tattooing or some other type of permanent
makeup salons Permanent-Line uses topical
anesthetics that are highly effective to be applied to
the treated area which significantly reduces
discomfort. Typically, patients will report a tickling
sensation with little or no discomfort during or after a
procedure has been performed.Is there any discomfort associated with the
procedure?
Please be aware when booking a lip procedure, if
you have ever had an outbreak of fever blisters at
any point, you must consult with your doctor for a
prescription of Valtrex or similar product prior to your
procedure.
