Think about how many hours you have spent throughout your life applying makeup. Sure, applying makeup has become a staple in your routine that you tend not to think about; it is just part of everyday life.
But what else could you have been doing with that precious time you have been using to apply your makeup? You certainly would have more time on your hands to enjoy a nice relaxed breakfast in the morning, or better yet, sleep in. If you are tired of applying your makeup every day or just cannot get it to look as good as the models you see on Instagram, you might want to consider permanent makeup solutions. Just imagine not having to take the time to fill in your sparse and pesky eyebrows ever again! You can spend your days looking your best without having to put the time and effort into it. However, when considering if this type of procedure is worth it or not, remember that the results are permanent.
How Does Permanent Makeup Work?
Permanent makeup is considered a micro-pigmentation similar to tattoos. Permanent makeup only lasts for 1-3 years because the needle used only reaches the superficial layer of the skin, whereas regular tattoos go deep into the dermis layer. There are 3 main types of permanent makeup:

Q: Do permanent makeup treatments hurt?
A: The sensation of the treatment is very similar to that of getting a real tattoo. You may feel discomfort and some pain. Your technician may also apply a numbing cream to the area receiving the treatment to reduce the feeling of any pain.
Q: How long does permanent makeup last?
A: Permanent makeup lasts anywhere from 2-3 years. This will also be affected by how well you care for the tattoo during the healing process as well as your skin type. Different skin types will hold the pigmentation in the skin longer than others. Speak to your technician about their permanent makeup treatments and how long their patients' results have lasted.
Q: What happens if I do not like the results?
A: Unfortunately, that is the risk you have to take with permanent makeup treatments. If you do not like the results, you will, unfortunately, be stuck with them. In that case, you can hold out until the results fade over time or temporarily cover it up with other makeup.
