Does Permanent Makeup Procedures Hurt

Many clients ask how painful Permanent Makeup Procedures are.

Everyone has varying threshold for pain. What's considered uncomfortable for one person, may feel differently on another. It's difficult to assume that everyone will have similar experiences. With the SofTap tool, the Eyeliner procedure is the least painful, then Brows, then Lips.

Also, the quality of topical anesthetics used by the Permanent Makeup Artist before and during the procedure will be a key factor. Don't be afraid to ask if they use high quality anesthetics. Depending on the Artist, the medication will vary. However, the numbing process should take place in two steps to ensure client comfort:

1. Prior to procedure, the Artist should use Lidocaine to numb the surface of the skin. It takes minimum of 10 minutes for it to be effective. Currently, 5% Lidocaine is the maximum allowed over counter.

2. During the procedure, the Artist should use a blend of Lidocaine, Tetracaine or Benzocaine, and Epinephrine.

Good anesthetics is expensive, so some Artist use poor quality to save money.

Excellent Tip:
Prior to your Eyebrow or Lips procedure, exfoliate the area several times during the week using gentle micro-beads, facecloth, or buffing pads. By removing some of the dead or dry skin, you'll have a better chance of the anesthetics to penetrate the surface of the skin and be more effective.

If you're extremely sensitive, try taking ibuprofen before and after the procedure.

Permanent Eyeliner turns blue grey

Before Permanent Makeup Brows and Liner After Permanent Makeup Hairstroke Brows and Eyeliner C ommon question asked by my clients: I had permanent eyeliner done in the past. The original artist used Black pigment. It looked great at first, but as the pigment faded, it turned Blue Grey. Why does this happen and what can I do? As mentioned before, all pigment fades over time. Carbon Black pigment has a lot of the primary Blue color. Therefore, as the other colors in the Black fade, the blue color remains. Touch ups are essential to keeping permanent eyeliner looking fresh and crisp. If you have blue grey liner, ask the artist to add Orange Pigment to the Black Pigment to counter balance the Blue. The Orange pigment will turn the blue into a soft brown, and with the added black pigment, the blue will not be noticeable. For more Before/After Permanent

What is the difference between Micro Blading and Tattoos

What is the difference between Micro Blading and other Permanent Makeup modalities. Microblading is a tool that is popular with the newer generation of permanent makeup artists. The marketing of Microblading has dominated our industry in the past 2 to 3 years. Microblade is a hand held tool where the series of needles are configured tightly to form a "blade" or a "knife". The artist uses the "blade" to cut "hair like" incisions into the skin. The pigment is then smeared into the cuts. The width of the blade is extremely narrow so that the artist can create an illusion of eyebrow hairs. Due to the narrow width of the blade, the artist must minimize the space in between each stroke. If the strokes are placed too far apart, the tattoo may appear sparse when healed. If the strokes are placed too closely, then the pigment from each stroke blend into the next stroke and causes pigment migration or a shaded look. Immediat
