How long will permanent makeup last?

The duration depends on many factors: quality of work, proper skincare, and individual characteristics. You should know that “permanent makeup” will not stay with you forever. On average, its duration ranges from 12 months to 3.5 years.

Are there any contraindications for permanent makeup?

There are quite a few! It is imperative that you first consult with the master, who must give you a full list of contraindications, including:

– serious diseases (AIDS, diabetes, hepatitis, and others)
– exacerbation of herpes
– pregnancy, breastfeeding
– taking blood-thinning medications
– tendency to allergic reactions.

In addition, it is not recommended carrying out the procedure during “critical days” when sensitivity is increased, and on the day of the procedure, you should not drink coffee and alcohol.

Pros and Cons of permanent makeup.

Cons

– possible sudden allergy reaction to pigment or anaesthesia, even if you did a preliminary test;

A permanent makeup removal service can always help you though.
