Permanent Makeup

What It Is

Permanent makeup is a subtle form of cosmetic tattooing in which fine needles deposit pigment into the upper layers of skin, shaping your brows, tinting your lips or defining the lash line. The colour fades gradually over the years, so the shape and shade deserve careful consideration.

Great for:

  • Sparse, patchy or uneven eyebrows
  • Brows thinned by over-plucking or age
  • Pale lips or uneven lip colour
  • A soft lash line without daily eyeliner

How It Works

A fine needle enters and leaves the skin rapidly, depositing pigment just beneath the surface, where your skin seals the colour in as it heals and the shade softens gradually over the following years. Healing also lightens the pigment, which is why a touch-up about a month later completes the final result.

Your visit:

  1. We discuss the shape and shade you want, plus any medications or allergies.
  2. The design is pencilled on first, and nothing begins until you approve it.
  3. Numbing cream settles for 20 to 30 minutes beforehand.
  4. Pigment is applied, then we review the result together and explain aftercare.

What to Expect

  • Time: about 2 to 3 hours for the first appointment
  • How it feels: light scratching and pressure, most noticeable on the lips
  • Downtime: colour appears bolder for several days, followed by gentle flaking
  • Results: true colour settles 4 to 6 weeks after your touch-up
  • How often: a touch-up at 4 to 8 weeks, then occasional refreshers

Good to know: this treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or while nursing, and because the pigment is designed to last, take your time deciding. Let us know about any medications, allergies or skin conditions at your consultation so we can confirm it is the right fit.

I recently discovered this new med spa and decided to give it a try because my skin had been getting worse over the past few weeks due to a lack of sun protection and proper cleansing. It turned out to be the best facial spa experience I have ever had. From the luxurious ambiance and advanced technology to the professionalism of the staff, everything exceeded my expectations. Most importantly, the products they used during my treatment were clearly top quality. I was so impressed with the results that I ended up purchasing some of the skincare products they recommended. Not only did my skin look and feel much better after the treatment, but I also received helpful information and personalized advice regarding my skin concerns. I am going to start following their recommendations for my daily skincare routine and continue getting monthly facials here to track my progress. I understand that my skin won't completely transform after just one session, but I am already very happy with the results. Thank you, Hwa, for such an amazing experience! I look forward to coming back next month.

I've had an amazing experience at Hwa Beauty Spa in Fountain Valley. The facials are incredibly thorough and customized to your skin's needs. They use advanced aesthetic technology alongside expert techniques, and you can tell they truly care about achieving real results rather than just providing a relaxing treatment. The spa is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, and the staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. My skin always feels deeply cleansed, hydrated, and noticeably brighter after each visit. If you're looking for high-quality skincare treatments with visible results, I highly recommend Hwa Beauty Spa.
