If you love the look of eyeliner but hate having to apply it every day, permanent eyeliner could be the perfect solution. It gives you long-lasting definition, won’t smudge or fade, and saves time in your morning routine.
At Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics in Williamsville, New York, Dr. Jack Bertolino’s aesthetics team can enhance your eyes without looking too harsh or overdone. If you’re thinking about booking a permanent eyeliner appointment, here’s what you can expect.
How the Process Works
Before anything begins, you’ll sit down with a technician to talk about what you want, whether it’s a subtle look or something bolder. They’ll map out the shape and thickness to complement your eye shape and make sure you’re happy with the plan.
You’ll also choose a pigment color that works best for you. Some people prefer a soft brown for a more natural effect, while others go for deep black for a bold, defined line. This step is about creating a look that fits your style.
Numbing & Prep
Before beginning, your provider will apply a numbing cream to keep the process as comfortable as possible. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but most people describe the sensation as mild pressure or a slight scratching feeling. We’ll also clean your eyelids to help the pigment absorb properly.
Pigment Application
Using a specialized device, we’ll carefully implant pigment along the lash line to mimic the look of eyeliner. The process usually takes 60–90 minutes, depending on the style and thickness. Your technician will work in layers to build up the color and definition gradually.
Healing and Aftercare
After the procedure, your eyelids might be a little swollen, and you may notice some slight scabbing, which is normal. The healing process takes about one to two weeks, during which the pigment may appear darker before softening to its final shade.
To help with healing, you’ll need to keep the area clean and avoid rubbing your eyes. A touch-up is usually recommended after six to eight weeks to perfect the color and shape.
How Long Does Permanent Eyeliner Last?
Your permanent makeup results can last several years, though the color may gradually soften over time. Factors like sun exposure, skincare products, and natural skin regeneration can all affect how long it lasts. Regular touch-ups help keep your eyeliner crisp and defined.
