What should you know about permanent makeup Goff's Oak?
What can you expect during your PMU appointment?
Your treatment starts with drawing a template of your permanent makeup. Once the template is approved by you we will apply a numbing cream to make the treatment more comfortable, and then we’ll start tattooing the shape. The treatment takes from 1.5-2.5 hours.
What can impact the outcome of your Permanent makeup?
- Age – Mature skin may retain pigment better due to slower skin renewal and drier skin.
- Skin condition – Healthy skin in good conditions holds the pigment better and is easier to tattoo.
- Skin type – In Oily skin permanent makeup blurs more and fades faster.
- Aftercare – Proper care post treatment can extend the results.
- Tanning – Frequent tanning causes pmu to fade faster and become ashy.
Healing After Permanent Makeup
Proper aftercare is extremely important. Redness and swelling are normal after the procedure, but these are temporary and don’t last long. Avoid wearing makeup for at least 5 days, don’t touch, pick or rub the area and let it heal naturally. Wash it daily (a few times a day) with sterile water and apply an aftercare cream after washing.

Can Permanent Makeup go wrong?
Permanent makeup usually lasts from 2-5 years, but it may fade faster or heal nearly invisible in some cases. Some factors can contribute to this happening, such as wrong technique (eg. hairstrokes on oily skin), pigment colour matching the skin tone, or improper aftercare. If permanent make up isn’t washed properly, scabs can form causing pigment to fade. Oily skin may cause the pmu to wear off sooner.
Touch up After Permanent Makeup
A touch-up is important to redefine the look after the initial procedure. This should be done 4-6 weeks later to make sure the final look is achieved. Over time, after a year or two, a colour boost procedure is recommended.
How long does permanent make up appointment take?
Depending on the treatment and the area, usually between 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
