While the pigments remain in the dermis for a long time, they are technically semi-permanent as they will fade over time. Most procedures last between 2 to 5 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and the specific technique used.

Client comfort is our priority. We apply a highly effective topical anesthetic before and during the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or vibrating feeling.

Depending on the service (Brows, Lips, or Eyeliner), an initial session usually takes between 2 to 3 hours. This includes a detailed consultation, brow mapping/shaping, and the pigmentation process itself.

Absolutely. We adhere to the strictest sanitation protocols. All needles are single-use, sterile, and disposable. Our pigments are medical-grade, vegan-friendly, and meet international safety standards.

Ombre generally has better retention, but there's a benefit to pigments fading. Since our facial structure naturally shifts and skin tends to sag over time, we don't want the ink to stay forever. In 3 to 5 years, we’ll have the flexibility to redesign and lift your brow shape to keep you looking youthful as your skin changes.

To ensure the best results and minimal bleeding, please avoid caffeine, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications (like Aspirin or Ibuprofen) for at least 24–48 hours before your session. You should also discontinue use of Retinol or AHAs near the treatment area for one week prior.

Immediately after the procedure, the color will appear significantly darker and sharper. Over the next 7–10 days, the area will undergo mild flaking. Once the surface skin heals, the color will soften and lighten by about 30–50%, revealing the final, natural-looking result.

We recommend avoiding heavy sweating, saunas, and swimming for at least 7–10 days post-procedure. Sweat contains salt which can prematurely pull the pigment out of the skin.

PMU is a two-step process. The initial session sets the foundation, while the Perfecting Session (usually 6–8 weeks later) allows us to fill in any areas that may have faded during healing and adjust the color or shape for a flawless finish.

We generally advise against PMU for individuals who are pregnant or nursing, those with active skin infections in the area, or clients undergoing chemotherapy. If you have a pre-existing medical condition, please consult with your physician before booking.
