Permanent eyeliner typically lasts 1–3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and pigment selection. Fading occurs gradually; annual or biennial touch-ups help maintain intensity. Oily skin and frequent sun exposure may require earlier refresh sessions.

Most clients experience mild discomfort rather than significant pain. We apply topical anesthetic before and during the procedure to minimize sensations. Sensitivity varies; communication during treatment ensures we adjust comfort measures. Aftercare reduces irritation and promotes smooth healing.

Healing takes about 7–14 days for surface recovery, with pigments settling over 4–6 weeks. Expect slight swelling, scabbing, and temporary darkening; avoid rubbing, water immersion, and makeup until fully healed. Follow aftercare instructions closely for optimal results.

Permanent eyeliner has minimal risks when performed by trained professionals using sterile tools: possible infection, uneven pigment, allergic reaction, or scarring. A thorough consultation, patch test, and following pre/post-care reduce complications. Contact us immediately if unusual symptoms appear.

We generally recommend removing contacts before treatment to reduce irritation and risk of contamination. Bring a case and solution so you can reinsert lenses after initial healing. Glasses are advised during the appointment; we provide guidance on timing for reinsertion.

Most clients schedule a touch-up 6–8 weeks after the first session for perfecting pigment placement. Long-term refreshers vary—typically every 12–36 months depending on fading, skin type, sun exposure, and desired intensity. We’ll recommend timing during consultation.
