Does semi permanent makeup hurt?

One of the most frequently asked inquiries is “does permanent makeup hurt?”

No, in a nutshell, and here’s why.

All of my clients are pleasantly surprised to learn that permanent makeup is not nearly as painful as they anticipated when they first see us. This is because I utilize numbing product of the highest quality, so you won’t feel a thing.

Lidocaine, Benzocaine, and Tetracaine are the three magical components that make up our numbing cream. These three ingredients combined produce a potent numbing lotion that makes obtaining microblading, lip tinting, or any other one of semi permanent makeup treatments a comfortable experience.
If the proper numbing cream is applied, permanent cosmetics and microblading are often fairly painless procedures.

Despite all of this, some clients may experience some little discomfort during procedures of a similar nature because of the “scratching” sensation.
A device called a “microblade” is used to cut a tiny incision into your skin while microblading, filling it with colored pigment. Some people find the strange scratching sound that occurs during the microblading procedure to be uncomfortable. It has the same effect as having your nails scrape over a blackboard.

If the proper numbing cream is applied, permanent cosmetics and microblading are often fairly painless procedures. Although there may be some unsettling noises involved, you’ll be pleasantly pleased by how little discomfort you experience. Some of my clients even nod off while having permanent makeup applied.

Even while some small discomfort and skin sensitivity should be expected, taking the following actions before your visit may help to decrease the tenderness and sensitivity felt during Semi permanent makeup:

• Avoid drinking or consuming caffeine the day of the operation
• For a few days before to the appointment, refrain from tanning or sunbathing
• Prior to the appointment, wait a few days before waxing or plucking your eyebrows
• For a few weeks before to the appointment, refrain from getting cosmetic treatments like laser hair removal and chemical peels
• A month ahead, stop utilizing vitamin A (retinol).

Unbelievably, some people can bear pain on a different scale than others because they have “tougher skin.” Reviews vary widely, so it’s important to know exactly what you want to accomplish in terms of outcomes and permanence.

Some of my client’s reviews:

“It doesn’t feel worrisome, more like a vibration on your eyebrows, at worst, a tiny scratch on your skin.”

“Just did third touch up for eye liner. I could sleep during the treatment.”

Looks like there is nothing to worry about and just make sure to read pre instruction advices and show up for your appointment on time 🙂
