Shading technique is used to create a soft, gradient effect that simulates a shadow or "shaded" appearance. This technique involves depositing a controlled amount of pigment into the skin using a handheld device or machine. The pigment is applied in a way that creates a gradient effect, starting lighter at the front of the eyebrows and gradually getting darker towards the tail. This technique helps to add depth, dimension, and a more filled-in appearance to the eyebrows.

How Long Does Shading Last?
Permanent makeup may undergo slight fading or color changes over the years. The longevity of the pigments varies depending on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, and individual healing processes. Nevertheless, advancements in pigment formulations and application techniques have led to improved color retention, providing lasting results. Shading should last anywhere from 1 year to 3 years before requiring a touch-up.
How Long Does Shading Takes to Heal?
Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. The pigment will appear very unnatural looking immediately after the procedure. The color of the pigment will appear much darker the next day.
The entire healing process will take from 10 - 14 days depending on your body regeneration and age. Please avoid wet activities that expose your skin heavily to water or your own sweat like workout or swiming for the first two-week. The area will be fully healed 30 days after the procedure was done.
Is Permanent Makeup Expensive?
"You get what you pay for"

What Kind of Food to Avoid after The Procedure?
After a Shading procedure, it is important to avoid certain types of food in order to ensure proper healing and the best results. Some foods to avoid include spicy foods, as they can cause irritation and inflammation in the treated area. Additionally, it is advised to avoid foods that are high in salt, as they can lead to retention of fluids and swelling. Alcohol and caffeine should also be avoided, as they can dehydrate the body and slow down the healing process.
Avoid Water for The First 24 Hours !
After having Shading done, it is recommended to avoid water for at least 24 hours. This is because during the healing process, the pigment needs time to settle into the skin and any exposure to water can disrupt this process. Water can cause the pigment to fade or be washed away completely.
It is important to follow this recommendation as it will ensure that the Shading results are long-lasting and satisfactory. During the first 24 hours after the procedure, it is best to avoid activities that involve water, such as swimming, showering, or washing the face.
Does Shading Hurt?

A lot of our clients describe the experience similar to intensified tweezing or threading, while some fall asleep during the procedure.
Who Should Not Get Shading Done?

Please be noted that if you are having any health conditions or are on any kind of medications, it may be best for you to wait untill you body is heal before booking a Shading procedure.
Does Shading Scar?
Shading itself will not cause scarring. What can cause scarring after a Shading procedure is picking at the healing skin. This is why it is extremely important to make sure you WILL NOT pick at any shredding/flaking skin after they have gone through a Shading procedure. Picking could result in the loss of pigment as well as scarring.
