Questions Frequently Asked
Q. Is it really permanent?
A. While this procedure is long lasting, some may need touch-ups after a few years.
Q. Does it hurt?
A. Some people usually experience a little discomfort described as a slight stinging sensation. An anesthetic lotion is used to numb the area during the procedure.
Q. How many sessions are needed?
A. To achieve the desired look, pigment is applied in two stages approximately one month apart.
Q. What should I expect immediately afterward?
A. Eyelids will appear slightly puffy for 1 to 2 days; lips will swell a bit, with peeling 3 to 4 days later; eyebrows will appear darker for 4 to 5 days, then soften. Applying an icepack to the area should significantly reduce puffiness.
Q. Is the procedure safe?
A. As with any invasive procedure, there is a slight risk of infection. However, provided the client follows the post-treatment instructions, this result is unlikely. Further, the equipment used is very sophisticated and continually updated, and all tools are ultrasonically cleaned and sterilized in the same type of Auto-Clave that is used in every medical business. Lastly, a new, sterilized, vacuum-packed needle is used on each and every customer.
