Frequently Asked Questions

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattooing procedure in which permanent pigments are applied to the skin to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips.

When performed by a licensed and experienced professional, permanent makeup is generally safe. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks involved. It is important to carefully research and choose a qualified practitioner.

Permanent makeup typically lasts 1-3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic treatment in which dead skin cells and vellus hairs are scraped off with a scalpel by a plastic surgeon, esthetician or dermatologist. While dermaplaning removes fine facial hairs, the procedure differs from shaving in terms of the tools used, the amount of skin removed, and the person performing the procedure.

 The benefits of dermaplaning depend on your skin type, tone, medical history, and the quality of the professional performing your dermaplaning. 

The benefits of dermaplaning are cosmetic and may include:

• Brighter, more youthful skin tone 
• Removing small hairs or peach fuzz
• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
• Smoother skin
• Ease hyperpigmentation
• Even skin tone
• Remove bacteria and clean pores to limit breakouts
• Reducie deep scars from acne or pox

 It is false that your hair will grow back thicker or darker after dermaplaning. While hair that grows back may feel courser at first, it will get softer over time.  

Paramedical tattooing, a relatively new concept, is essentially an advanced form of permanent makeup. The main aim with this kind of tattoo is to restore a person’s physical integrity and in some cases, help with psychological recovery after a traumatic event.

Paramedical tattoos can be used to camouflage scars and stretch marks, mimic hair growth, recolour skin that has lost its pigment, and even restore the appearance of certain body parts using realistic anatomical designs, i.e. tattooed areolas post reconstructive surgery.
