Our answers to your most common questions
What happens during a session ?
Is there any special care after the intervention?
After interview, depending on your body type and your expectations, we choose together the shape and color of the tattoo. We then proceed to trace the pencil drawing so that you can judge the final rendering.
When you are completely satisfied with the result, we start the pigmentation session using a dermograph.
The pigmentation session is carried out under rigorous hygienic conditions using a sterile disposable needle and medical mineral pigments. It consists of small repetitive injections. The process is not painful and can be performed after application of an anesthetic cream if necessary.
A session lasts about an hour.
A touch-up is essential about three weeks later .
• The treated area may be slightly swollen and a little brittle for 24 hours.
• The color and appearance of your makeup are always darker and more intense at first. It will take you about a month to get the desired result.
• After the procedure, it is recommended to apply an antiseptic product for 4 to 5 days and a moisturizer on the affected area for 15 days.
• You can use classic makeup the next day. However, be careful to perform gentle and light gestures on the treated areas.
• After a few days, a few scabs may have formed. Do not remove them as this may damage the color of your makeup.
• Heat prevents pigments from setting. It is therefore strongly recommended not to expose yourself to the sun or to ultraviolet rays in the cabin during the first 10 days following the procedure.
• Wet places such as swimming pools, seas, saunas, hammams should also be avoided for 10 days.
What is permanent makeup?
This technique is also called semi-permanent makeup, aesthetic dermopigmentation, long-lasting makeup, micropigmentation, aesthetic tattooing. Inspired by classic tattooing, permanent makeup involves depositing a sterile pigment in the skin. The session is carried out under rigorous hygienic conditions using an ultra-fine sterile disposable needle and medical mineral pigments (iron oxide, titanium dioxin, glycerol, isopropulic alcohol). These pigments do not penetrate into the deep dermis but only into the upper area of the skin.
Is it painful?
These are small repetitive bites that can be perceived differently depending on the natural sensitivity and state of mind of each (stress, anxiety, fatigue…). The process and the tools used are designed to make the operation as comfortable as possible. In some cases, a numbing cream may be prescribed by your doctor to reduce the sensations. ! You can fill it with content, move it, copy it, or delete it.
Is makeup really definitive?
No. Fortunately, "permanent" makeup is not definitive makeup. It thus only presents advantages since it allows you to remain perfectly made up for several years, without the action being irreversible, in case your tastes change. It can last for several years, two to four years on average. This duration will depend on many factors: colors chosen, lifestyle, exposure to the sun (a lot of sun or solarium leads to a faster lightening of the color), rate of cell regeneration (the less it is high (with aging) , the longer the color will hold), phagocytosis capacity (digestion of the pigment by the body).
How long will my makeup last?
Immediately after treatment, the color will be darker for about a week. the shade will then lighten and give way to the desired color after about a month. The skin remains pigmented between two and four years on average. This time is variable and differs according to the type of skin, the part treated, the initial shade chosen as well as your lifestyle. The lighter and more natural the shade of the pigment, the less it lasts and vice versa. The tint of your tattoo will then gradually fade in a natural way.
Will I be presentable the same day?
Yes. Small redness or swelling may, however, occur for a few hours after pigmentation. The color will appear very clear, intense and dark for a few days, to lighten and then fade (about 20% loss of intensity).
Will the final result be immediate?
No. Immediately after the procedure, the color of the tattoo appears very clear, dark and intense for four to six days. At this point, the skin exfoliates and the color turns out to be lighter, softer and more natural. It will lighten again to stabilize and match the desired color after a month.
Will my makeup look natural?
Yes, it absolutely must be. Permanent makeup is in principle perfect, moderate, natural and elegant daytime makeup. Well-done permanent makeup always looks more natural than pencil makeup. For a glamorous and primed effect for an evening, you can intensify your permanent makeup using classic makeup.
How do I choose my permanent makeup?
We talk about your expectations and together choose the shape and color of the tattoo according to your face, your skin, your style, your age as well as the color of your hair and body hair.
Does this technique involve any risks?
No, this technique is absolutely safe since it is performed under rigorous hygienic conditions: sterile single-use needles, perfect hygiene of the room, wearing of single-use gloves, use of medical mineral pigments. We have of course followed an essential and compulsory training in hygiene and sanitation.
