Which paramedical treatments do you offer?

Scar, dark under-eye circle, and alopecia camouflage. We also offer hair correction, asymmetry correction, as well as areola reconstruction.

Can I return to work the next day?

Absolutely! The only factor that may affect your return is the temporary appearance. The result can look darker and more defined than what you want, and this lasts for about one week.

How does a permanent makeup session work?

Josée first discusses your needs and the desired result with you. She also considers your face shape and skin tone in order to guide you properly. Once you are completely satisfied with the plan, Josée applies a topical anesthetic and begins the treatment, which lasts about one hour on average.

What is Microblading?

It is a semi-permanent makeup technique, originally an older method that has been improved and reintroduced to create very natural-looking eyebrows.

No preparation is required.

What are the recommendations after the treatment?

Avoid applying any products and do not wear makeup on the treated area, ideally for one week. Swimming and any other sources of bacteria should be avoided during this time.
