1. Q: Tell me about the procedure
A. First we would make an appointment in order to consult with you in terms of the look you want to achieve. [back to questions]
2. Q: Will it be natural or a dramatic look?
A. There are two things to consider: Shape and
Color. If you have a very definite idea of what you would like to have done, I
recommend that you put your make-up on, as you would normally do so at home. Then I will do the procedure
following the shape and colors you have created.
If you are not so sure, I will draw the shape with non-permanent pencil, once you like the result, we will
discuss and decide also for a color that will accentuate your features. We will also discuss of the technique
that I will be using. For example, for the eyebrows I could use the method of Feathering, which creates lines so
fine that it looks like real hair. For the eyes you could have a line for eyeliner or a dotting method where
small dots are placed in between the lashes to give a fuller, thicker look.

3. Q: What are the coloring agents used in permanent makeup?
A. The coloring pigment used in permanent make-up is bio-organic and FDA approved.
They're inert in nature and don't interfere with the body's chemistry. These are inorganic compounds and
do not contain any heavy metals or iron oxide.

4. Q: Is permanent makeup a safe procedure?
A. The procedures are only performed under sterile conditions. Only disposable
needles and "tubes" are used. There are no long-term side effects; short-term effects may include some
redness, swelling and tenderness. I apply Permanent Make-Up with the latest technology and state-of-the-art
equipment available.

5. Q: Could there be any allergic reactions?
A. There are no known allergic reactions to pigments. Allergy tests can be performed during the course of a free consultation, prior to the inital procedure, by applying a tiny bit of pigment into the hairline. [back to questions]
6. Q: Is there any discomfort associated with the procedure?
A. Topical gel-like anesthetics are applied to the area being worked upon which significantly block pain. Most patients report little or no discomfort. [back to questions]
7. Q: How long does the procedure take to complete?
A. The average time required for a procedure is between 1 to 2 hours. [back to questions]
8. Q: What kind of healing time is involved? Is any care required after the procedure?
A. Some swelling and redness can be expected for 24 hours following the procedure.
A cold compress helps to reduce any swelling around the eye area. The treated area must be kept clean.
No makeup should be applied for several days. Some skin peeling and lightening of the applied color is
normal. If any additional adjustments are desired, these will be made during your follow-up appointment
usually 3 weeks later if needed.
Regular routines usually can be resumed immediately after the procedure. However, swimming or vigorous exercise
should be avoided for a few days. Normal healing times is between 4 to 7 days.

9. Q: How long does Permanent Make-Up last?
A. Once the color is inserted in the derma it will be permanent, it will always be there. It will fade with time and my clients usually choose to return for touch-ups after 5-8 years. (I like to give a special price to my clients for touch-ups) [back to questions]
