Policies & Aftercare
interested in permanent makeup?
We are happy to help you make your dream come true
But, first, we recommend that you carefully read the following the information on this page. This will help you make a more balanced decision and achieve the result that will delight you for many years.
Permanent Makeup (PM) is a cosmetic service, the high-quality result of which is usually achieved in 2-3 skin pigmentation procedures. The recommended intervals between additional courses are 1-2 months.
Touch up achieves:
- more accurate distribution of pigment over the pigmented area of the skin
- more lasting result
- More accurate match to the desired color and shades
- correction of the form, if desired
The dye in the pigment is injected into the top layer of the skin using a special tool and is perceived by the immune system as a foreign body. In the process of “wearing” the PM, the dye is gradually being rejected by the body. Depending on the individual characteristics of the immune system, the pigment can persist in different areas of the skin for different periods – from several months to an indefinite number of years. To maintain the high quality of the PM, periodic touch-up procedures are required to refresh PM to update the previous one.
Usually, the interval between procedures is 1-3 years, depending on individual characteristics and requests.
