Scottsdale, AZ Permanent Makeup FAQs

Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micro-pigmentation. It is a technique where pigment is implanted into the skin to enhance facial features such as eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner. PMU is a popular beauty service in Scottsdale, AZ for clients looking to save time in their daily routines, correct asymmetry, and boost confidence with long-lasting results.

Permanent makeup can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years, depending on the individual's skin type and lifestyle. Touch ups are required to ensure longevity of your procedure.

Many people wonder if permanent makeup  is painful—and the good news is, it’s much more comfortable than you might expect! We use topical and secondary numbing creams/gels as well as soothing techniques throughout the procedure to minimize any discomfort.

Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle scratching or light buzzing rather than pain. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but our priority is making sure you feel calm and relaxed from start to finish.

Remember, the amazing, long-lasting results you’ll enjoy are totally worth a little temporary sensitivity—and here at Scottsdale permanent makeup- we’re here to support you every step of the way!

Top services include Lip Blush, Ombre Brow, Nano Brow, and Combo Brow procedures due to their low maintenance and long-lasting beauty. 

Microblading is a technique that uses a handheld tool to create hair-like strokes on the eyebrows, giving them a natural and fuller appearance.

After your permanent makeup procedure,  your skin will begin a natural healing process that typically takes about 7 to 14 days. During this time, it’s normal to experience:

• Mild redness or swelling immediately after treatment
• Light scabbing/peeling as the skin repairs
• Slight color fading before the true pigment settles

Your final results will become fully visible after about 4-6 weeks, once your skin has completely healed and the pigment has settled beautifully. At this time you would receive your touch-up appointment to ensure beautiful results + longevity. 

Absolutely! In fact- lip blush pairs BEAUTIFULLY with properly placed filler. However, please note that you must wait 4 weeks after getting filler to get your lip blushing procedure. 

That depends. A consultation will be required for approval of the procedure. Certain factors go into play such as how much color is left, how deep the previous artist implanted the color, and the overall condition and skin tone.
