Does it hurt?
Every patient is different and pain tolerance varies. Most patients describe the pain level as minimal and find tweezing and threading more uncomfortable. We use a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. That being said, this is still a tattoo. You may still feel some discomfort. Based on experience, we would describe the feeling of slight burning, astringent-like sensation. Very tolerable and worth it!

How long does it last?
This will vary by patient. If aftercare instructions are followed diligently, your new beauty mark or faux freckles will last approximately 24 months on average before they’re mostly faded; 18 months is average. For some people, their beauty marks will last even longer, and some less. Certain factors such as sun exposure and tanning beds, getting chemical peels, oily skin type, bleeding, etc., will affect whether it will last on the higher or lower end of the expected 12-18 months. We recommend one touch-up per year to keep them fresh.

How long is the healing process?
While the actual tattooing of the beauty mark or faux freckles may take anywhere from 15 minutes to 1.5 hours, the healing time is relatively quick compared to a normal tattoo. Although the dots will appear slightly swollen and dark immediately after tattooing, side effects typically start to dissipate after only a few hours—healing completely after two weeks or less.

What to know beforehand?
It’s important to follow all aftercare instructions and to attend the required follow-up appointment to make the finishing touches to your new beauty marks/faux freckles!
