Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the benefits of micropigmentation / microblading?
    • The procedure allows you to minimise makeup use — you look stunning at any time of day and under any circumstances — in the morning or before bed, at the pool or gym; all without the need to draw your eyebrows, lips, or eyeliner. This effect lasts 8 months to 3 years, depending on your body’s individual reaction to the applied pigment.
    • Your look is created to professional makeup standards — ideal for everyday wear without the need to visit makeup artists or struggle with applying perfect makeup.
    • The procedure saves you time, stress, and money.
    • If you choose not to renew the micropigmentation in the future, it will eventually disappear without a trace, leaving your face in the same condition as before the procedure.
  • How does the micropigmentation procedure work?

    The procedure is divided into several phases:

    • Initial consultation before the procedure
    • Completing the required documents (contract, questionnaire, informed consent)
    • Creating a design, modelling and drawing sketches of the area requiring correction (all lines are carefully and precisely measured), finding the most suitable individual shape and agreeing on the final version with the client
    • Selecting the appropriate pigment considering skin tones and hair colour
    • Applying anaesthesia (local, in the form of a special cream)
    • The procedure itself
  • How does micropigmentation differ from standard permanent makeup?
    • It is comfortable thanks to local anaesthesia
    • There is no bleeding or swelling after the procedure
    • Results look completely realistic and natural
    • The pigment maintains a stable colour long-term and does not change to another shade (blue or red tones); over time it simply fades away
    • Using these methods, a missing feature (eyebrow, areola, etc.) can be completely recreated in the most natural-looking form
    • Any natural asymmetries in the treatment area can be fully eliminated
  • What are the contraindications for this procedure? When is micropigmentation not recommended?

    There are two categories of contraindications: absolute, where the procedure can never be performed, and relative (temporary), which allow the procedure once they are resolved.

    Absolute contraindications:

    1. Elevated temperature and fever
    2. Exacerbation (acute phase) of any illness
    3. Blood disorders: von Willebrand disease, haemophilia, hypertension
    4. Predisposition to keloid scarring
    5. Oncological disease
    6. Acute respiratory illness, inflammatory disease, early-stage cold
    7. Epilepsy
    8. Asthma
    9. Hepatitis, HIV, AIDS
    10. Presence of an undiagnosed tumour/neoplasm, especially in the area where the procedure is to be performed
    11. Mental health disorder
    12. Surgical operations, plastic surgery, and subcutaneous infiltrations during the stabilisation period (1-6 months)
    13. Botox injections in the forehead and eyebrow area (at least 2-3 weeks after injections)
    14. Chemical peeling (at least 14-28 days after peeling)
    15. Chemotherapy/radiotherapy

    Relative contraindications:

    1. Allergy and hypersensitivity to pigment components
    2. Recurrent herpes (during exacerbation)
    3. Dermatitis, acute dermatosis, or psoriasis in areas where the procedure is to be performed
    4. Weakened immune system, recovery period after surgical or cosmetic operation
    5. Use of corticosteroids, strong antibiotics, anticoagulants, retinoids (may cause scarring, delayed healing), vitamins, dietary supplements, alcohol consumption
    6. Pregnancy and breastfeeding (first 4 months after delivery). We do not recommend any permanent makeup procedures during the first trimester. In the second and third trimesters and during breastfeeding, procedures may be performed only with a physician’s approval and only if the client can tolerate the procedure without any medication or anaesthesia
    7. Menstruation. During this period women experience increased bleeding risk and a lower pain threshold. Therefore, we recommend scheduling the procedure in the middle of the cycle
    8. Old permanent makeup at the planned pigmentation site (always send us a photo or come for a free consultation with our specialist — it is not always possible to cover old permanent makeup). If the permanent makeup is light, blue, grey, or black, there is a high chance that complete removal will be necessary before the procedure
  • How should I prepare for a micropigmentation / microblading procedure?

    General recommendations:

    • At least 10 days before the procedure, stop taking any blood-thinning medications (aspirin, etc.) as well as vasoconstrictive preparations
    • Do not take antibiotics two weeks before or after the procedure. Otherwise, your body will reject the applied pigment
    • For 10 days before the procedure, avoid both outdoor and indoor (solarium, etc.) tanning (if your skin is sunburnt or heavily tanned, you will need to wait until your skin returns to its natural tone before booking, so our specialists can select the correct pigment shade)
    • 24 hours before the procedure, do not consume alcohol or any other stimulating beverages (coffee, strong tea, Coca Cola, Pepsi, energy drinks, other caffeinated drinks), avoid skincare products, eyebrow growth serums, and heavy or spicy foods. All these factors contribute to blood thinning, which can lead to lymph secretion at the procedure site and complications during healing
    • Avoid smoking 2 hours before the procedure

    Before eyebrow micropigmentation:

    • Do not pluck, trim, or shave your eyebrows for at least 30 days before the procedure. Our specialists need to clearly see the natural direction of growth, thickness, and colour of your eyebrow hairs. The goal is to make your eyebrows beautiful and improve their shape, never to remove them and draw entirely new ones. If you have a clear idea of how your eyebrows should look, ideally apply your usual daily eye and eyebrow makeup before the procedure. This helps us better understand your preferences and see the overall picture.

    Before lip micropigmentation:

    • Before lip permanent makeup, it is recommended to complete a course of Herpenorm treatment. This medication should be started the day before the procedure (for a total of 5 days as per the instructions). In this case, the medication is necessary as prevention against cold sore outbreaks

    Before eyelid micropigmentation:

    • Remove any eyelash extensions
    • Please note that eyelid micropigmentation technology depends heavily on the individual characteristics of your eyes. If you have thin skin on your eyelids with prominent veins, it is better to opt for a thin concentrated eyeliner only and not attempt to create an elegant wing at the lash line
  • What is a touch-up and why do specialists insist it is necessary?

    When choosing a micropigmentation procedure, it is important to understand that the goal is to preserve the natural appearance of your features as much as possible while making them more beautiful and defined. It is not about drawing something new and bold or artificially accentuating eyebrows, lips, eyelids, etc. in an exaggerated form. Therefore, during the initial procedure, the specialist uses the gentlest application approach based on the medical principle of “do no harm”. Even though the pigment has excellent adhesion and can retain its vibrancy after the first session, the specialist must ensure the result looks natural and harmonious.

    It is important to understand that the quality of the result depends primarily on two key factors:

    • Pigment acceptance by the body — the body tends to reject pigment as a foreign substance, and it is possible to assess how much pigment the body has accepted no earlier than 30 days after the procedure
    • Aftercare of the treated area. If the client does not follow the established rules and specialist’s recommendations during healing and skin regeneration, results may be not only imperfect but in some cases negligible (which should be a compelling reason to follow all the aftercare instructions provided before the procedure)

    Additionally, the appearance of the treated area 30 days after the initial procedure is greatly influenced by other factors — hormonal balance and blood vessel condition, skin health, lifestyle (alcohol consumption, smoking, cosmetic procedures, etc.).

    It is very important to understand that without the subsequent touch-up procedure, the initial procedure cannot be considered complete.

    The touch-up is performed at least 30 days after the first procedure. During this time, complete skin regeneration takes place at the treatment site. If the touch-up is performed earlier, it may cause further skin trauma and potentially worsen, rather than improve, the original results.

    During the touch-up, the specialist evaluates the condition of the treated area and performs repeat micropigmentation to correct the shape, fill in empty spots where the pigment did not adhere properly or where it is lighter than the planned shade. A more even distribution of pigment across the treated area is achieved, with colour intensity added or reduced. In other words, the result of the first procedure is refined to perfection.

    The touch-up is not included in the price of the main procedure.

    Each subsequent touch-up after the main procedure is charged separately based on the current price list:

    up to 3 months after the main procedure — 50% of the main procedure price,
    3 to 12 months after the main procedure — 70% of the main procedure price,
    refresh, 1 to 1.5 years after the main procedure — 80% of the main procedure price

    We strongly recommend that all clients do not neglect the touch-up after the main procedure!

  • Why is the touch-up charged separately and not included in the price of the first procedure?

    The touch-up is a full, independent micropigmentation procedure that cannot be planned in advance with certainty, as the specialist cannot predict the result of the initial procedure 100% due to the individual characteristics of the client’s body (pigment acceptance, skin regeneration ability, etc.). The specialist also cannot directly influence aftercare of the treated area, on which the final result directly depends. For this reason, the touch-up is treated as a separate, time-consuming procedure that typically takes the specialist the same amount of time as the first procedure.

  • What should I do after the procedure? How should I care for my skin?

    The quality of the final result after the procedure is up to 50% dependent on competent aftercare, which should include strict hygiene rules and, where appropriate, suitable medications. The client bears full responsibility for skin care after the procedure; the specialist is not directly involved beyond their recommendations and therefore bears no responsibility for it.

    • For proper scab formation in the treated area (which typically appears within the first 24 hours after the procedure), it is recommended to regularly (every two hours) wipe the micropigmented area with a cotton pad soaked in Corsodyl solution after the procedure. Repeat the process in the morning and evening of the following day.
    • Before the scab heals and peels off, avoid water and thermal procedures: swimming in a pool or open water, sauna or Turkish bath visits. The treated area should not come into contact with water. If it does, gently blot the moisture with a towel — never rub the scab with a towel! Baths and long showers are not recommended — excessive moisture can cause premature scab detachment.
    • Avoid any impacts and physical contact with the healing area: do not touch it unnecessarily! Do not rub it! Do not scratch it! Do not peel it! Do not try to speed up the scab peeling process! Do not let the scab crack!
    • To prevent fading of the pigment that is not yet fully fixed, do not expose the treated area to sunlight for 3 weeks after the procedure. For sun protection, use sunscreen or lip balm with a high SPF (at least SPF 30), or (for eyelid procedures) sufficiently large sunglasses.
    • After the scab peels off, the treated area typically begins to itch, which indicates normal skin regeneration and the appearance of a secondary crust. Complete skin healing takes an average of 21 days.
    • Approximately 30-60% of the applied pigment will disappear during regeneration together with the scabs (the percentage of colour loss may vary — it is entirely individual):
      1. Days 1 to 7 after the procedure: the pigment colour will intensify and be much stronger than intended; by day 2 a scab will form (it will disappear within 5-7 days).
      2. Days 7 to 20 after the procedure: a gradual decrease in colour intensity can be observed, followed by scab peeling, and it may seem that no colour remains at the treated site. However, the new pink skin layer gradually absorbs its intensity during healing. The final pigment colour will be visible no earlier than one month later, once complete skin regeneration has occurred.
      3. Days 20 to 30 after the procedure: colour intensity stabilisation, effect consolidation.
      4. Day 30 after the procedure: pigment can be reapplied — touch-up — within the following 3 months.
  • How long do permanent makeup results last and how long does the pigment remain visible?

    Eyebrow procedure results last on average 1 to 1.5 years; for eyelids and lips, up to 2.5 years. The durability of results can be increased with proper skin care and a well-timed touch-up. Without these factors, they may fade much sooner. Without further treatments (repeat procedures), the pigment will eventually disappear completely on its own, leaving no trace.

    Result longevity depends on:

    • Skin type — oily skin expels pigment faster; drier skin retains it longer
    • Pigment colour — the lighter the colour, the longer the pigment remains visible
    • Age — the older the client, the longer the pigment lasts
    • Peeling use — the more cosmetic procedures performed on the treated area, the shorter the duration
    • Immune system — the stronger the immunity, the faster the body breaks down the pigment
    • UV exposure — sun and solarium visits break down the pigment
  • How does the specialist choose the right colour? Is the client’s preference taken into account?

    Using colourimetry technique, we are able to select the ideal pigment shade for each client based on their skin tones and hair colour. To choose the best colour combination, the specialist must correctly evaluate the client’s skin type and condition using the following criteria:

    • colour type
    • skin condition
    • age
    • skin type

    The specialist typically prepares a unique colour blend for each client. The result is a colour that is as close as possible to the most optimal shade for the given case. Of course, our expert also considers the client’s wishes and is prepared to make the pigment darker, lighter, or give it a different specific shade. However, the client should also know that, thanks to professional experience, the specialist is able to recommend the right colour combination for a natural and harmonious look much more effectively.

  • Is oily skin a contraindication for the procedure?

    No, it is not. Oily skin only reduces pigment durability and may cause earlier loss of sharpness in some lines. Therefore, clients with oily skin are recommended to undergo regular touch-up procedures for the treated area.

  • A few years ago I had a hair-stroke eyebrow procedure and was very happy with the result. Later, however, I noticed that hairs that were not there before suddenly started growing again. My eyebrows became even thicker. Could this be a result of the procedure?

    Yes, it absolutely can! It is very common for the procedure to stimulate skin cells containing hair follicles to work harder. During regeneration, there is also increased blood circulation in the area, and it may happen that hairs that had previously stopped growing receive a new growth impulse. This is an unguaranteed but certainly pleasant additional benefit of the procedure.

  • All about touch-ups

    Touch-up is a method of regulating the saturation, shade, and shape of micropigmentation. It is an abbreviated permanent makeup procedure during which the results obtained during the main procedure are refined to perfection.

    Our skin is a barrier and protective organ. Our body perceives new pigment particles as something that does not belong, and tries to get rid of them. It is therefore generally very difficult to predict in advance what percentage of pigment the body will push out. In some cases, 40% of the pigment disappears after skin regeneration; in others, it is 60%. This typically depends on the immune system, age, lifestyle, and aftercare by the client. In 65% of cases, a second touch-up procedure is necessary approximately one month after the main procedure.

    Without this additional touch-up procedure, the primary procedure cannot be considered complete, nor can the expected results be 100% guaranteed.

    During the second visit, our specialist evaluates the individual reaction of the client’s body to the pigment, how well it was accepted, and the characteristics of the applied shade, shadows, and shape. It is then possible to decide whether further action is needed — a touch-up procedure, its scope, and number.

    Touch-up allows:

    • even distribution of pigment
    • elimination of any shade issues
    • achieving the desired colour saturation by increasing or decreasing brightness
    • correcting and perfecting shapes
    • achieving longer-lasting results
    • the specialist to avoid using an overly bold pigment shade during the first permanent makeup application, thereby achieving a natural appearance of contours and skin tones

    Touch-up is performed at least 30 days after the first procedure. During this time, complete skin regeneration takes place at the treatment site.

    If the touch-up is performed earlier, it may cause further skin trauma and potentially worsen, rather than improve, the original results. It is important to understand that micropigmentation touch-up is a procedure performed within 3 months after the main procedure!

    The touch-up is not included in the price of the original procedure.

    Each subsequent touch-up after the main procedure is charged separately based on the current price list:

    • up to 3 months after the main procedure — 50% of the main procedure price
    • 3 to 12 months after the main procedure — 70% of the main procedure price
    • refresh, 1 to 1.5 years after the main procedure — 80% of the main procedure price

    We strongly recommend that all clients do not neglect the touch-up after the original procedure!

  • What adverse effects or reactions may occur after the dark circle camouflage procedure?

    Typically there are no adverse effects or reactions, but everything is entirely individual. Occasionally, mild redness or minor swelling may appear, lasting a maximum of two to three days.

  • How long does the dark circle camouflage effect last?

    Depending on your individual metabolism, you can be free from dark circles for 1 to 3 years.

  • How does the area around the eyes look in summer? Will it remain white and untanned?

    In practice, the pigment is applied to a skin layer that is beneath the layer producing melanin, so the pigment colour will not affect the natural tanning of the skin around the eyes, which will not differ from the tanning of the rest of the face.

  • Does the pigment contain any substances that could be potentially harmful to the skin?

    The pigment contains only natural and safe substances that have undergone rigorous testing and certification. They therefore have no negative effect on the skin or the body as a whole.
