Permanent make-up is a procedure in which natural pigments are inserted into the skin (0.3-0.5 mm) using a special tattoo device. The procedure is performed under temporary anaesthesia of the skin, using a local anaesthetic. This gentle and natural-looking permanent make-up will last for one to two years. Over time, pigments wash out of the skin through a metabolic process depending on the rate of your metabolism and your skin type. In the period when the pigment begins to disappear, it is enough to re-coat it and restore the faded parts of the pigment. The healing time after the procedure is usually 7 days. Immediately after the procedure, small scabs form on the skin which are subsequently treated with an ointment. However, the scabs must fall off spontaneously. During this time, approximately 30-60% of the pigment incorporation is lost, depending on the skin, blood type and after-care. The procedure is not explicitly painful. Of course, it depends on the individual sensitivity of the client. The pigment settles in the skin for 4 weeks. After this period, it is clear how the skin has responded to the procedure and a correction can be made if necessary.
Post procedure:
Immediately after the tattooing, when the effect of the anaesthetic disappears, it is necessary to prepare for the fact that the eyebrows may slightly sting. The skin moves in the place of the tattoo and small scabs are formed. They fall off spontaneously after a few days. Be careful, you must not put anything on your eyebrows for 24 hours and you must keep the area dry! If the skin is very dry, you can apply UNI gel on the second or third day, once a day. The tattooed area must not be soaked in water for 7 days. You can buy UNI gel at the pharmacy. You must not scratch the scabs yourself. At least 3-4 days after the tattooing, the eyebrows look much darker than they actually do when all the scabs fall off. Expect the tattoo to be 50% lighter.

She lived in Brazil for several years, where she became closely acquainted with the issue of permanent make-up. After her return to the Czech Republic in 2015, she was trained by the world leading professionals such as Sviatoslav Otchenash and Oxana Martinenko. She has been involved in cosmetic care and research in the world of permanent make-up for years. Every year she participates in many professional training sessions, courses and seminars. Therefore, she has been constantly growing and improving not only in techniques and innovations. Health protection is very important in this work and, out of principle, she works only with certified material. Most recently, she has expanded her specialization with trichopigmentation, i.e. scalp pigmentation (hair tattoo).
