When it comes to permanent makeup (PMU), one of the most common questions we hear is, "Does it hurt?" It's a fair concern, particularly when the treatments involve something as delicate as your face. Microblading and powderbrow: The sensation of both microblading and powderbrow treatments are often compared to little scratches.
At KNS, we apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area before the procedure, which significantly reduces discomfort. The level of pain felt can vary from person to person, but it's generally described as very mild. Lip Blushing: Lips are known to be more sensitive than brows, so you might assume that lip blushing would be quite painful. However, as with brow treatments, a numbing agent is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. Clients often report a buzzing or vibrating sensation more than pain.
Final Thoughts: While there may be a small level of discomfort associated with these PMU techniques, it's well-managed and short-lived. The results can be quite transformative and last for years, making the temporary discomfort a worthwhile investment. If you're considering PMU, do your research, choose a reputable technician, and communicate any concerns you may have about pain before getting started. With the right preparation, you can look forward to enjoying the beauty benefits of these popular cosmetic enhancements with minimal fuss. Please call us if you have any questions or concerns!
