How long does permanent makeup last?

Permanent makeup typically lasts 1-3 years depending on the technique, your skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Microblading tends to last 1-2 years, while powder brows can last 2-3 years. Lip blush lasts 2-3 years and eyeliner 1-3 years.

Does permanent makeup hurt?

We apply a professional-grade topical numbing cream before and during the procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching or pressure. Lip blush tends to be the most sensitive area, while brows are very well-tolerated.

How much does microblading cost in Kansas City?

Microblading at KC Med Spa Group starts at $400, which includes the initial session and mandatory touch-up at 6-8 weeks. Powder brows start at $450, lip blush at $450, and permanent eyeliner at $350.

What is the difference between microblading and powder brows?

Microblading uses a handheld tool to create fine, hair-like strokes that mimic natural brow hairs — ideal for a natural, feathered look. Powder brows use a machine to create a soft, powdered effect similar to filled-in brows with makeup — ideal for a more defined, polished look.

Who is a good candidate for permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup is ideal for anyone who wants to simplify their beauty routine, has sparse or uneven brows, has lost brow hair due to medical conditions, wants defined eyes without daily liner, or desires natural lip color.

Is there downtime after permanent makeup?

Plan for 7-10 days of healing. During this time, the area may appear darker, slightly swollen, and will go through a flaking phase. Avoid water, sweat, and sun exposure on the treated area during healing.

What is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent makeup, also called cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, uses specialized techniques to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin, creating the appearance of perfectly applied makeup that lasts for years. Unlike traditional tattoos, permanent makeup uses finer needles and pigments specifically formulated for facial skin. At KC Med Spa Group, we offer microblading for natural hair-stroke brows, powder brows (ombre brows) for a soft filled-in look, lip blush for a natural tint of color, and permanent eyeliner for defined, smudge-proof eyes. Every treatment is customized to your unique features, skin tone, and style preferences by our trained cosmetic tattoo artists in Kansas City.

What to Expect

Before

Design Consultation

We begin with a thorough consultation where we discuss your desired shape, color, and style. Your artist will map and pre-draw the design on your face so you can approve every detail before any pigment is applied. We take measurements and consider your facial symmetry, bone structure, and natural features.

During

The Procedure

A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Using precise, specialized tools, your artist deposits pigment into the skin with meticulous attention to detail. Microblading takes 2-2.5 hours, powder brows 2 hours, lip blush 2-3 hours, and eyeliner 1-2 hours.

After

Healing & Touch-Up

The treated area will appear darker initially and lighten by 30-50% as it heals over 4-6 weeks. Minor flaking and fading is normal. A mandatory touch-up session at 6-8 weeks perfects the shape and color. Final results last 1-3 years depending on the technique and your skin type.
