Understanding the Permanent Makeup Process

Embarking on the permanent makeup journey can be both exciting and daunting. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you know what to expect:

1. Consultation

This initial meeting allows you to discuss your desired outcomes, review your medical history, and address any questions. The technician will assess your features and skin type to recommend the best approach.

2. Design and Approval

The technician will draw the proposed design on your skin, allowing you to visualise the result. This step ensures that the shape and placement align with your expectations.

3. Colour Selection

Choosing the right pigment is crucial. Factors like skin tone, undertones, and personal preferences guide this decision to achieve a natural look.

4. The Procedure

A topical anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort. Using specialised equipment, the technician implants the pigment into the dermal layer of the skin.

5. Aftercare Instructions

Proper aftercare is vital for optimal healing and pigment retention. You'll receive guidelines on cleaning the area, activities to avoid, and products to use during the healing phase.

6. Follow-Up Appointment

Typically scheduled 6-12 weeks post-procedure, this session allows for touch-ups and ensures the results meet your expectations.

Understanding each step can alleviate concerns and help you prepare for a successful experience.
