Permanent eyebrow makeup is a type of tattooing that mimics the natural arch of the eyebrow. With proper care, its effect is long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing. The final appearance of the eyebrows after the procedure depends on recommendations related to grooming, sun avoidance and proper hygiene. Putting on makeup involves breaking the continuity of the epidermis, which is why it is so important to take proper care of the skin to keep your eyebrows looking perfect for longer.
Permanent eyebrow makeup – the healing process
Immediately after the procedure, a slight tightening of the skin is felt. The area where the pigment was applied becomes slightly darker and small scabs begin to appear on it, which should be left to fall off. In the following days, the right color begins to appear on the skin and the desired effect is created. The total healing process should take 14 days, although this is very individual for each client.
Permanent eyebrows – how to take care of them after the procedure?
Immediately after permanent makeup, the skin in the eyebrow area is reddened, which subsides after two to three hours.

Repigmentation and refreshing of permanent eyebrows.
In order to maintain a long-lasting effect, eyebrows require repigmentation. This treatment is performed periodically about two months after the initial makeup. Otherwise, the tattoo on the eyebrow arch becomes lighter. After 3 months, the permanent eyebrows are refreshed, which involves adding pigment using the method of choice – this procedure can take place up to 1.5 years after the first visit to the linergist.
