What are the benefits of this procedure?
Permanent make-up does not wash off with water or perspiration, allowing you to maintain a beautiful, natural look. Permanent make-up saves time and money for busy women who do not have the time to apply make-up or older women who suffer from diseases that make it difficult to apply make-up.

When can I return to my normal lifestyle?
You can return to your normal lifestyle immediately after surgery. You may experience a slight swelling of the affected area for three to five days, with most of the swelling resolving within 48 hours. The nurse will provide you with antibiotic cream, which may need to be applied for three to five days, to reduce swelling and irritation.
