Am I A Candidate For Permanent Makeup?
Candidates for permanent makeup may be looking to enhance their natural features without having to spend time and money on removable cosmetics. Permanent makeup can also be a great option for individuals who may have allergies to conventional cosmetics. This innovative aesthetic option can allow you to experience permanently defined brows, lips, and eyes for your desired results. During a thorough consultation at Essential Aesthetics and Laser, our skilled aesthetic team can talk with you about your wanted outcome to determine if you are an ideal candidate for permanent makeup treatments.
How Does Permanent Makeup Work?
Powder brows, eyeliner, and lip blushing use tiny needles that penetrate your skin to place pigments resembling makeup. On the other hand, microblading is specifically used to create fuller, defined eyebrows by working with a tiny blade to apply pigment to the skin. To start out, a numbing cream will be applied to either the brow, eyelid, or lip area, depending on which treatment you get. You should not experience much discomfort, but you may feel slight pressure while the pigment is being applied. Each process can take up to 1 – 3 hours to complete. It is normal to experience some swelling, flaking, or redness afterward while the area heals.

What To Expect After Permanent Makeup
After undergoing permanent makeup procedures at Essential Aesthetics and Laser, you can expect to see immediate results, along with a short healing process. Initially, the treated area may appear darker and more intense than anticipated; this is normal and will fade to a more natural hue as the skin heals. Swelling, flaking, or redness is common in the first few days, but these symptoms should subside quickly, revealing the final, beautiful results. Lori Alessandrini ensures that each client is well-informed about aftercare to maintain the longevity of their permanent makeup, which can last 1 – 3 years before a touch-up is needed.

Permanent Makeup FAQs
Does getting permanent makeup hurt?
While some people may find the application of permanent makeup uncomfortable, most don't find it painful. Before we begin, a numbing cream can be applied to the area to keep you comfortable during your procedure. After the procedure is finished, some mild redness, swelling, and/or tenderness is common, but it typically goes away quickly. We will give you aftercare instructions to help speed healing and ensure optimal results.
Is permanent makeup actually permanent?
While permanent makeup can have long-lasting results, it is technically a semi-permanent procedure. After about 1 – 3 years, some of the color may fade, at which time you can always schedule a touch-up procedure at Essential Aesthetics and Laser to refresh your results.
How long is recovery after a permanent makeup application?
During the first 2 – 3 days after having permanent makeup applied, there is typically some slight puffiness, redness, tenderness, or swelling. However, this shouldn't keep you from returning to your normal routine immediately. You will be instructed to keep a healing ointment on it for the remainder of your recovery time, which is typically about 7 – 10 days.
What are the common applications of permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup can be used for enhancing eyebrows, defining eyeliner, adding lip color, and camouflaging scars.
What is the healing process like?
After the procedure, the treated area may appear darker and slightly swollen. Over the next few days, the color will soften as the skin heals. Complete healing can take several weeks, during which scabbing and peeling may occur.
Can I still wear traditional makeup over permanent makeup?
Yes, you can still apply traditional makeup over your permanent makeup if desired. However, keep in mind that some areas, like the eyebrows, may not need additional makeup.
