Eyelash extensions typically last 2 to 3 weeks before needing a fill, depending on your natural lash cycle and aftercare. A full set takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, while fills usually take 45 to 60 minutes. There’s no downtime—you can go about your day right after your appointment.
Lip blush is a great option for anyone looking to enhance their natural lip color, shape, and symmetry. It’s especially beneficial for those who have pale or unevenly pigmented lips and want to restore a soft, youthful tint. If you find yourself constantly reapplying lipstick or struggling to achieve a defined lip line, lip blush offers a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution. It can also create the illusion of fuller lips without the need for filler and beautifully complements existing lip enhancements by adding natural color and definition. For individuals with discoloration due to aging, scarring, or hyperpigmentation, lip blush can help even out the tone and improve overall appearance. Whether you’re aiming for a subtle tint or a more defined pout, lip blush is fully customizable to suit your style and skin tone.
The results can last anywhere from one to three years depending on different factors affecting the procedure however, a touchup once a year is recommended to retain the shape and saturation of pigment.
We get mixed reviews on pain. Everyone has a different level of sensitivity, so topical and anesthetics are applied before and during the treatment to alleviate any sensation or discomfort. Some clients naturally feel one side sore than the other. Although most clients reported very little to no pain..
Absolutely. Sterilized, disposable needles and supplies are used during the process.
You won’t be swollen, you just might have slightly red skin around the eyebrows. Lips will be swollen the first 24 hours, you can apply ice to the area to help.
Most likely. Within a week of your first treatment the color will fade significantly and over the next four to six weeks can continue to fade as much as 50%. This is considered an extremely positive occurrence as it allows you time to reflect on your shape and color. After this period your follow-up appointment is carried out. At this point any changes you would like to make are discussed.
In order to keep your tattoo results looking fresh, we recommend a touch up every year.
It will last as long as it’s maintained. Good skin type can last up to 3 years.
Because color is implanted in the facial area there tends to be more fluid circulation than other parts of the body. Your face sees the most wear of any piece of you—exposure to the sun, food, facial products—the list goes on and on. All of these things cause permanent color to fade, this is why you need a touch up.
The procedure takes roughly about 2 1/2- 3 hours, sometimes more sometimes less. Please allow a solid 3-hour window for your appointment. I likely won’t need that much time, but this isn’t something I want to rush.
No. There’s no downtime associated with the treatment. Redness will disappear in a day or two. Your PMU will appear very saturated initially, but not so much so that you will be prevented from your activities of daily living.
Healing time varies from individual to individual. Usually, it takes about a week to ten days for the epithelial crust to form and slough off. Your skin will be considered healed after that happens. Then, the pigment takes some time to settle into the skin. A good month should pass before I consider the process complete.
Any PMU procedure is a two-step treatment, consisting of an initial procedure and then a touch up between 4 to 6 weeks after.
After taking your before photo, I will draw the brow or lip design in pencil so you get an idea of shape and form. (Please note that nobody’s face is totally symmetrical and you need to be realistic with your expectations. There is no point in trying to make the eyebrows identical or match a photo of your favorite celebrities' eyebrows if your face shape looks nothing like theirs.). Once we have agreed on a final shape (ultimately it is your decision – but I will always voice my opinion on what I think suits you aesthetically), I will shape your eyebrows/lips, then we will decide on the color. Shortly after that, a topical anesthetic will be administered to ensure comfort. Once you’re numb, the pigment is deposited.
During healing, it's normal to experience some pigment loss; this is why we have the touch up in place.
Your PMU will last longer if you apply sun block often and avoid abrasive facial treatments, and retinols.
It depends on how the previous technique was done. Please contact me before booking.
It takes about 3 hours for this procedure. Please make sure you dress comfortable and eat beforehand.
Although PMU is considered to be semi-permanent, the procedure does allow flexibility for color or shape change to some extent. However, I will work closely with you to ensure that you are satisfied with the proposed technique. I will allow you to have as much control over the procedure as possible, so there’s very little room for error. If you do not like the decision you made, the Touch Up can be cancelled and the pigmented area naturally fades away over time. If you aren’t 100% sure you would benefit from this procedure, please opt for a more temporary option.
