PERMANENT MAKEUP
PERMANENT MAKEUP
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic procedure that enhances facial features by implanting pigment into the skin using a specialized device. This technique provides long-lasting color and definition for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. By mimicking the appearance of makeup, permanent makeup can save time and effort in daily routines. Each pigment is carefully selected to match your skin tone and preferences, creating a subtle and well-defined look.
Treatment can enhance the appearance of individuals who wish to enhance their features or those with sparse eyebrows or uneven lip color. It is possible to see the results immediately following the procedure, but the final appearance typically takes a few weeks to settle as the skin heals. Depending on the area treated and personal skin type, results can last 1-3 years before requiring touch-ups.
