Is microblading or powder ombre a tattoo?
Certainly! The procedures mentioned, Microblading and Powder Ombre, fall under the category of tattooing techniques. Microblading involves using a specialized blade crafted with multiple needles to create realistic stroke patterns, while Powder Ombre utilizes a tattoo gun for a soft, shaded effect. It is important to note that both procedures require penetrating the dermis layer of the skin, similar to traditional body tattooing.
How long does Microblading and Powder Ombre last?
Microblading typically has a duration of up to one year, whereas powder ombre can extend to approximately three years. The longevity is contingent upon various factors such a sun exposure, regular use of facial products, and individual skin type. With annual touch-ups, the effectiveness of both procedures can be sustained indefinitely.
Is it painful? Which procedure hurts more?
Permanent makeup (PMU) is generally characterized as uncomfortable rather than painful. A liquid numbing solution is applied during the procedure, mitigating sensations for most clients, who often report feeling slight pressure and mild stinging sensation. It is noteworthy that, in comparison, clients commonly perceive Microblading as more uncomfortable than Powder Ombre.
Is there any down time?
Permanent makeup (PMU) typically involves minimal downtime. After the procedure, it’s common to experience some redness and mild swelling, but this usually subsides within a day or two.
Can I go to the gym after a body tattoo or permanent makeup ?
After getting a tattoo or permanent makeup (PMU), it’s generally recommended to avoid intense physical activity, including going to the gym, for a certain period of time. The primary concern is to prevent excessive sweating, friction, and potential irritation to the newly tattooed or pigmented area.
The healing process for tattoos and PMU involves the formation of a protective layer of skin over the treated area. During this initial healing period, it’s important to keep the area clean and avoid activities that could compromise the healing process. Sweat and bacteria from the gym environment may increase the risk of infection.
Can someone else’s old work be worked on?
Yes, it is possible to work on someone else’s old microblading. Please send clear photos before booking to help us assess and recommend the best approach for your needs. We are committed to achieving optimal results.
Can I wear makeup after the procedure?
After a Permanent makeup (PMU) procedure, it’s generally advised to avoid wearing makeup on or around the treated area for a certain period. The healing process is crucial, and applying makeup too soon may introduce bacteria or irritants to the freshly done eyebrows.
Do you shave off my existing eyebrows?
No, Permanent makeup (PMU) does not involve shaving off existing eyebrows. Instead, the procedure is designed to enhance the natural eyebrows. The existing eyebrows serve as a foundation for the artist to work with.
Does the pigment change colour?
Yes, the pigments used in Permanent Makeup (PMU) can change colour over time. The initial colour of the PMU eyebrows may appear darker immediately after the procedure but tends to lighten during the healing process. Over the following weeks, the colour may continue to evolve as the skin heals and the pigment settles. As a result, it tends to fade gradually over months or years. To maintain the desired colour, clients may opt for periodic touch-ups to refresh the pigment and make any necessary adjustments.
Is permanent makeup safe?
Certainly! All needles utilized in our procedures are single-use and are opened in the presence of the client at the commencement of each appointment. Subsequently, they are safely disposed of in a designated sharps container at the conclusion of the session. Additionally, non-disposable tools undergo thorough cleaning with hospital-grade disinfectant, ensuring optimal hygiene standards. All surfaces within the working environment are similarly treated with this disinfectant for the well-being and safety of our clientele.
