Permanent Makeup
What is permanent pigmentation?
Permanent pigmentation (or micropigmentation) is a cosmetic procedure in which pigments are introduced into the surface layers of the skin to create permanent makeup. The process is similar to tattooing, but it uses special equipment and pigments that are safe for facial skin. Permanent pigmentation allows correcting the shape and color of the eyebrows, defining the eyes and lips, creating a natural-looking makeup that lasts a long time
Advantages of permanent pigmentation:
Save time: Morning activities go faster and easier. You don't have to put on make-up every day, touch it up during the day or worry about spreading it.
Flawless appearance all the time: Permanent pigmentation does not wear or fade, regardless of your activity. Whether it's the gym, swimming or a hot day, you'll always look perfect.
Correcting deficiencies: The procedure allows correcting the asymmetry of the face, improving the shape of the eyebrows, emphasizing the eyes and lips, making them more expressive and symmetrical. This is especially useful for people with sparse eyebrows, pale eyelashes or indistinct lip lines.
Durability: The results of permanent pigmentation last 1–3 years, depending on the skin type and the pigments used. This frees you from regular beautician visits.
Safety and hypoallergenicity: Modern technologies and high-quality pigments minimize the risk of allergic reactions and irritation. The procedure is performed with sterile instruments, which guarantees safety and comfort.
Individual approach: Every person is unique, so the professional chooses the shape and color pigments that best match your wishes and natural features, creating a harmonious and natural look.
What is Permanent Pigmentation and how long does it last?
Permanent pigmentation, also known as micropigmentation or tattooing, is a cosmetic procedure in which special pigments are injected into the surface layers of the skin to create permanent makeup. In general, permanent pigmentation is used to improve the shape and color of eyebrows, lips and eyelids.
Duration: Permanent pigmentation usually lasts 1–3 years. The duration depends on several factors:
Skin type: With oily skin, the pigment may fade faster.
Skin care: Using exfoliating products or products containing acids can speed up fading.
Pigment color: Light pigments can fade faster than dark ones.
UV radiation: Exposure to sunlight without protection can accelerate fading.
Is the procedure painful and how does the healing process progress?
Permanent pigmentation can cause discomfort, but it is not usually considered a painful procedure. Most professionals use anesthetic creams or gels to minimize pain.
Healing process:
Immediately after the procedure: The skin may be red and slightly swollen.
After a few days: Light flaking may occur and the color may appear lighter or darker than expected.
Within 1-2 weeks: Flaking stops, and the color starts to look more natural.
It is important to follow the treatment instructions given by the specialist so that healing takes place correctly and infections are avoided. This may include avoiding water in the treated areas, using a special cream, and avoiding direct sunlight.

Although permanent pigmentation is considered a safe procedure, there are some risks and contraindications that should be taken into account.
Risks:
- Infection: Can occur if hygiene is not followed or non-sterilized instruments are used.
- Allergic reactions: Some pigments can cause allergic reactions, although this is rare.
- Wrong color or shape: There is a risk of getting a result that does not meet expectations.
Contraindications:
