      May the skin condition affect Semi Permanent Makeup result?


      It is important to know that the results of your Permanent Makeup will be based on the health and quality of your skin. Healthy skin provides a good canvas for the pigments, allowing for better results and longer-lasting effects. Dry lips can affect the outcome and healing process, potentially leading to uneven colour or irritation.

      If you have a pre-existing skin condition or are on medications, you may still be eligible for a procedure but should adjust your expectations based on your situation.
