You have got permanent makeup done years ago and now its no longer to your liking?You do not like the results? What to do ?

Like tattoos, permanent makeup can be difficult to remove. The most commonly used techniques for this are dermabrasion (physical or chemical treatment) and surgical removal. Removal is more painful and more labor intens than the tattoo itself. The decision to get a tattoo where one can regret it later is related to thinking that the permanent make-up style, which you like today, will always be to your liking.
