Microblading

How long do results last?

Results vary from person to person, but most microblading treatments last anywhere from 1–2 years. Lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare all play a role in how long your results stay fresh.

Will my results look natural?

Yes, natural results are the goal. Every session is fully customized to your features, skin tone, and personal style to ensure soft, balanced, and realistic results.

Does it hurt?

Most clients report minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout your appointment.

What is the healing process like?

You can expect your results to appear slightly darker immediately after your appointment. As your skin heals over 7–14 days, the color will soften and settle into a more natural look. Full healing typically takes 4–6 weeks.

How many sessions will I need?

Most services require an initial session followed by a touch-up appointment to perfect the results.

Who is not a candidate for these services?

Certain medical conditions, medications, or skin types may affect your eligibility. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have specific health concerns, a consultation is recommended before booking.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners 24 hours prior to your appointment. You should also avoid waxing, tinting, or any skin treatments in the area beforehand.

When will I see final results?

Initial results are visible immediately, but your final healed results will appear after your skin fully heals—typically around 4–6 weeks.

Is there any downtime?

There is minimal downtime. Most clients return to normal daily activities right away, with a few aftercare guidelines to follow for proper healing.

How do I book an appointment?

You can book directly through our online booking system. If you're unsure which service is right for you, a consultation is recommended.

Lip Blush

What exactly is lip blush?

Lip blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances your natural lip color, improves symmetry, and adds soft definition without looking like heavy lipstick. Think of it as a natural, “your lips but better” result.

Will my lips look too bold or unnatural?

No, and this is the biggest misconception. Lip blush is designed to heal soft and natural. While the color may appear brighter immediately after your appointment, it fades by 20-30% during healing into a subtle, natural tone.

Can you correct uneven or pale lips?

Yes. Lip blush is ideal for correcting uneven tone, adding warmth back into pale lips, and improving overall symmetry. Every color is custom mixed to complement your natural lip tone and skin undertone.

How long does lip blush last?

Lip blush typically lasts 2–3 years. Longevity depends on lifestyle factors like sun exposure, skincare, and how well aftercare is followed.

Is lip blush painful?

Most clients are surprised by how tolerable it is. A strong topical numbing agent is used throughout the procedure to keep you comfortable.

What is the healing process like?

Lips may feel swollen and appear brighter for the first 24–48 hours. Light peeling may follow over the next few days but not always, and the color will soften significantly as healing completes over 4 weeks.

Will I still need lipstick?

You can still wear lipstick if you want but many clients find they no longer need it for everyday wear. Lip blush gives you that effortless, put-together look from the moment you wake up.

Who is not a good candidate for lip blush?

If you have active cold sores, certain medical conditions, or are pregnant or nursing, you may need to wait or consult first. A history of cold sores may require preventative medication prior to your appointment, which you can buy over the counter.

How many sessions will I need?

Lip blush is a two-step process. Your initial session builds the foundation, and a touch-up at 6–8 weeks perfects the color and shape.

When will I see my final results?

You’ll see immediate results, but your final healed color appears after 4–6 weeks once your lips have fully settled.

Paramedical Tattoo Treatments

What is paramedical tattooing?

Paramedical tattooing is an advanced treatment designed to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and skin discoloration. Depending on your needs, this may include dark scar lightening, inkless scar revision, or scar camouflage to help the area blend more naturally with your surrounding skin.

What’s the difference between scar lightening, scar revision, and camouflage?

Dark Scar Lightening: Targets darker scars by gently lifting excess pigment to create a more even skin tone
Inkless Scar Revision (ISR): Focuses on improving the texture and quality of the skin using a non-pigment technique that stimulates healing and collagen production
Scar Camouflage: Uses custom-blended pigment to match your skin tone and reduce the visibility of lighter scars

Each treatment serves a different purpose, and in many cases, they may be combined for the best results.

Can all scars be treated?

Not all scars are candidates. Scars must be fully healed (typically at least 6–12 months old) and free of irritation. A consultation is required to determine the best treatment approach.

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients require a minimum of 3 - 6 sessions depending on the type, size, and condition of the scar. Results are built gradually to ensure the most natural outcome.

When will I see results?

Results improve over time as your skin heals and regenerates. While some improvement may be visible after the first session, optimal results are typically seen after completing your recommended treatment plan.

Are the results permanent?

Results are long-lasting, but not always “one-and-done.” Some areas may require maintenance or additional sessions over time.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most clients describe the discomfort as minimal to moderate depending on the area being treated. Numbing options are available to keep you comfortable.

Is there downtime?

There is minimal downtime, but proper aftercare is essential. You may experience mild redness, sensitivity, or dryness in the treated area during healing.

Will the treated area match my skin perfectly?

The goal is significant improvement, not perfection. Skin tone, texture, and how your body heals all play a role in the final result. Setting realistic expectations is key to achieving the best outcome.

Who is not a good candidate for paramedical tattooing?

You may not be a candidate if your scar is actively inflamed or not fully healed. Certain medical conditions may also affect eligibility.

How do I know which treatment I need?

Every case is different. During your consultation, we will assess your skin, scar type, and goals to recommend the most effective treatment plan for you.
