Frequently Asked Questions - Continued

What choice of colour do I have?
Using a variety of basic pigment shades, colours can be blended for each individual in order to compliment, skin tones, hair and eye colour.  With careful design, features can be enhanced and defined creating natural looking appearances. Alternatively for clients who wish to have a more definitive colour different combinations can be mixed.  The colours can also be changed at any time by blending another colour over the original if desired.

How will I look after the procedure?
Immediately after and for the first few days the colour will appear considerably darker and some clients may experience slight swelling or redness, but this will subside over the next 2-48 hours.  Most normal activities can be resumed immediately after procedure. 

What is the healing period like?
On the second day following procedure, a light crust will form which will feel dry to the touch.  During this time the pigment area may look darker than the colour you decided on.  Over the next few days this crust will flake off and is common for the colour to lighten by up to 30%.

Can I wear conventional makeup over my permanent cosmetics?
Permanent cosmetics are designed to be an enhancement of your natural features, but once the procedure site has healed you can always add conventional make up for extra definition for that special occasion.

How long does it last?
This can vary with each individual, dependant on age, skin type and lifestyle.  Although colour can last between 2-5 years and gradually continues to get lighter over time, it is suggested to maintain colour strength a top up procedure should be carried out every 18 months to 2 years.  Although not guaranteed when exposed to U.V. continued use of a sun block may help increase the life span of colour on the proceduresite.
