We cannot emphasize enough how important it is for you to understand the different types of cosmetic procedures and how to qualify someone to help you reach your goals!  Please read our page on SELECTING THE RIGHT PRACTITIONER.

In the most delicate areas, some discomfort may be experienced. The use of topical anesthetic helps to lessen any discomfort. If you are apprehensive and would like to take medication prescribed by your physician prior to your appointment, we have no objections but will not provide you with any prescription medications. Everyone has a different threshold of pain but we find that overall the discomfort is short lived in exchange for the long term reward that you get from the procedure.

Allergic reactions to permanent cosmetic procedures are extremely rare. The cosmetic pigments are made from completely natural ingredients, and disposable sterile needles and surgical gloves are used for each procedure. However, micro-pigmentation is a skin invasive procedure. It is extremely important to consult an experienced professional technician who is licensed, qualified and conscientious. As a Registered Nurse, I can walk you through all these considerations to address any concerns you might have.

Please be assured that, with my nursing background, I place the highest priority on your health and safety. Sanitary surroundings, sterile equipment, disposable needles, and quality products are a must.

Times vary according to the individual’s sensitivity, hydration, density, elasticity, and overall condition of the skin.

Allowing time for anesthetics to take effect, implanting of the pigment, and some final fine tuning of the procedure, average time for the initial visit is as follows:

1 – 2 hours for eyeliner, eyebrows or lipliner.

2 + hours for full lip color or areola repigmentation.
