Tips for choosing a professional
Choose an artist with an extensive portfolio
Ask to see at least 20-30 before and after photos of work performed on clients with a similar skin type and face shape to yours. A professional artist will proudly display their work and explain each case.
Avoid sun exposure 4 weeks before and after
Sun exposure before the treatment makes it harder for the pigment to absorb, and after the treatment causes rapid fading and color change. Use SPF 50 sunscreen on the treated area for at least two months afterward.
Do not take aspirin or alcohol 48 hours before
Blood thinners cause increased bleeding during the treatment and impair pigment absorption. It is also recommended to reduce caffeine. Drink plenty of water on the day of the treatment for more supple skin.
Keep the area dry for 7 days
For the first week, do not wet the area – no hot showers, no sauna, no pool, and no sea. Gently clean with cold water twice a day and apply the ointment you received from the artist.
Remember - the color lightens by 30-40%
In the first week, the brows/lips will appear very dark - this is normal! After 14 days, the scab falls off, and the true color is revealed. Don't be alarmed by the initial appearance; wait for the final result before deciding on a change.
Schedule a touch-up after 4-6 weeks
The touch-up is an integral part of the treatment and is usually included in the price. During the touch-up, the artist completes areas that did not absorb pigment, corrects asymmetry, and improves the color. Without a touch-up, the result will not be perfect.
Frequently asked questions
How much does permanent makeup cost in Israel in 2026?
Permanent makeup prices range from 1,500 to 3,500 ILS for a complete treatment including a touch-up after 4-6 weeks. Powder/Ombre brows: 1,800-2,800 ILS, Microblading: 1,500-2,500 ILS, Lip Blush: 2,000-3,500 ILS, Eyeliner: 1,200-2,000 ILS. The price varies based on the artist's experience, location, and technique.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients rate the pain level at 2-4 out of 10. Before the treatment, a numbing cream (lidocaine) is applied for 20-30 minutes, which significantly dulls the sensation. During the treatment, additional numbing can be applied. Lip blush is considered more painful than brows, and eyeliner is the least painful.
What is the healing process after permanent makeup?
Healing takes 7-14 days. On the first day, there is redness and slight swelling. On days 3-7, the color may appear too dark, and light flaking might occur – do not scratch! After two weeks, the color lightens by 30-40%, and the final shade is revealed. A touch-up is required after 4-6 weeks to complete the result.
Who is not suitable for permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, uncontrolled diabetics, hemophiliacs, those undergoing chemotherapy, people prone to keloids, individuals taking blood thinners, people with active skin infections in the treatment area, and those who have had Botox/hyaluronic acid treatments in the area in the last 4 weeks.
How do you choose a professional permanent makeup artist?
Look for a rich portfolio with before and after pictures of similar cases to yours, a licensed business owner, Ministry of Health license, professional training and certifications, real client reviews, full sterilization (disposable needles), a consultation meeting before the treatment, and a warranty with a touch-up included in the price.
What is the difference between Microblading and Powder Brows?
Microblading creates individual hair strokes with a manual blade - suitable for dry/normal skin and a very natural look. Powder Brows use a machine to create a soft, powdered eyebrow makeup look - suitable for all skin types, including oily, lasts longer, and looks like light makeup. Combo Brows combine both techniques.
