How long does permanent makeup last? How many appointments to get results?

Permanent Makeup is a process and can last 1 to 3 years. Each person heals and retains pigment differently. Typically, it will take two appointments- the initial session and a touch up to get the best color retention. Many factors such as lifestyle, aftercare, and metabolism can determine if you need additional sessions. Also covering up previous PMU may take additional sessions to correct color, shape, etc. It’s always easier to add more pigment than to take it away.

How long is the recovery?
