Is permanent makeup really permanent?
While the term “permanent makeup” suggests that the results are permanent, the pigments used are designed to fade gradually over time. On average, results last between 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Touch-ups are recommended to maintain the desired look.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most patients find the procedure to be quite tolerable. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize any discomfort. You might feel a slight scratching or tingling sensation during the process, but it should not be painful.
How long does it take to heal after getting permanent makeup?
Initial healing typically takes about 5 to 10 days. During this time, the treated area may appear darker and slightly swollen, and some light scabbing may occur. The color will gradually soften as the skin heals. Complete healing and the final results can take up to 4 weeks.
Can I still wear regular makeup over my permanent makeup?
Yes, you can still wear regular makeup if you choose to enhance or change your look for special occasions. Permanent makeup provides a great base, so you may find that you need less makeup overall.
Is permanent makeup safe?
When performed by a trained and experienced professional, permanent makeup is a safe procedure. At Aspen Creek Aesthetics, we use high-quality pigments and sterile equipment, following strict safety protocols to ensure the best results with minimal risk.
What if I want to change the shape or color of my permanent makeup in the future?
Because permanent makeup fades over time, it’s possible to adjust the shape or color during future touch-up sessions. If a significant change is desired, the old pigment can often be lightened or neutralized before applying a new design.
Who is a good candidate for permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their natural features or simplify their beauty routine. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals with sparse brows, uneven lips, or those who have difficulty applying makeup due to allergies, poor vision, or conditions like alopecia.
