Permanent makeup refers to the introduction of paint into the layers of the skin, however, the pigment is introduced into the surface layers.. The depth of ink injection is 0.3-1 mm, the effect lasts up to four years.

Does it hurt to get a tattoo?

Many doubt whether they need a tattoo, t. afraid to experience pain. Today, anesthesia during this procedure is performed by using special creams, gels or ointments.. A licensed medical professional can even inject the anesthetic directly under the skin..

The intensity of pain will depend not only on the characteristics of the skin, but also on the client of the beauty salon. You can hear different reviews about the pain of this manipulation from those who have gone through it.. It all depends on the mental state of the person.. Someone will be afraid and will hardly wait for the end of the procedure, while someone will be able to remain calm and experience only a slight inconvenience.

How long does the healing process take?

At first, you will be distinguished from others by the rich color of the eyebrows, the redness of the eyes or the swelling of the lips..

If you look closely, you can see a slight redness in the area where the manipulation was carried out..

The intensity of recovery processes is individual for each person.. It usually takes seven to ten days for healing to complete..

At the site of the manipulation, a crust is first formed, and then peeling. In no case do not try to tear it off - in this area the pigmentation may not remain bright enough.

The intensity of the makeup color gradually decreases during the first week, after which the color becomes natural and soft. Please note that the use of conventional cosmetics during the first week after tattooing must be stopped.. This is due to the fact that the tattoo site cannot be wetted, and any cosmetics must be washed off.. Do not sunbathe so that dyes do not lose their color intensity. It is recommended during this period to use agents that reduce inflammation and promote rapid healing..
