Kolkata’s Trusted Permanent Makeup & Skin Clinic

No, and that is by design. The pigment sits in the upper layers of skin and fades gradually, usually over 3 to 5 years, though some people keep visible colour for much longer. Fading depends on your skin type, sun exposure and aftercare. A touch-up every 12 to 18 months keeps the shape and tone looking fresh rather than patchy.

Most clients describe it as mild scratching rather than pain. A topical numbing cream is applied before the session and reapplied during it, so the area stays comfortable throughout. Some tenderness for a day afterwards is normal, similar to a light sunburn. If you are anxious about pain, say so during your consultation so the numbing can be adjusted.

Yes, when it is done in a clinical setting. The real risk in permanent makeup is not the pigment, it is poor hygiene. At both our studios we use sterile single-use needles, sealed pigments and strict hygiene protocols. The important part is choosing a trained practitioner and following aftercare, which we go through with you before you leave.

Eyebrow microblading starts from INR 7,999 and lip blush from INR 5,900 at Truly Permanent Beauty. The final price depends on the technique, how much correction the area needs and whether a touch-up session is included. You get an exact figure at your consultation, before anything is booked, so there are no surprises later.

Permanent makeup is usually postponed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have uncontrolled diabetes, a tendency to form keloid scars, or an active skin flare-up such as eczema, psoriasis or a cold sore on the treatment area. Blood thinners and recent isotretinoin also matter. None of these are automatic refusals, they are things we assess at your consultation before booking a session.

A patch test is the standard way to rule out a pigment allergy, and it takes only a few minutes. If you have ever reacted to hair dye, tattoo ink, henna or cosmetics, tell us during your consultation so a test can be done well before your appointment. Genuine pigment allergies are rare, but they are much easier to avoid than to treat.

Yes. Colour, shape and depth can all be corrected, and unwanted pigment can be faded with laser removal, which we offer at both studios from INR 1,290. Correction usually needs more than one sitting, and older or darker work takes longer. Bring a photo of the existing work to your consultation so we can tell you honestly what is achievable.

Book 6 to 8 weeks ahead. Brows and lips need roughly 4 to 6 weeks to heal and settle into their final colour, and a touch-up sitting is usually done at the end of that window. Booking a week before the event is the most common mistake, because healing colour looks darker than the finished result and there is no time left to adjust it.

For most treatments, yes. HydraFacial, Korean Glass Glow and under-eye sessions leave no visible downtime, so people often come during a lunch break. Brow and lip procedures leave the area slightly swollen and darker than the final shade for 3 to 5 days, which is noticeable but easy to carry. Laser work may leave mild redness for a day.

It does, which is why aftercare matters more here than in a dry climate. Sweat and moisture on healing brows or lips can lift pigment and slow scabbing, so we ask you to avoid steam, swimming, heavy workouts and direct sun for the first 10 to 14 days. Monsoon appointments heal perfectly well when this window is respected.

It depends on your skin type. Microblading creates fine hair-like strokes and looks most natural on normal to dry skin. Ombre or powder brows deposit a soft shaded finish that holds far better on oily skin, where crisp strokes tend to blur over time. We assess your skin at the consultation and recommend one, rather than letting you pick blind.

Choose by what your skin actually needs. HydraFacial from INR 2,990 deep cleans pores and hydrates, so it suits congested or dehydrated skin. Korean Glass Glow from INR 2,990 focuses on serum infusion and surface glow before an event. Carbon peel from INR 3,990 works better on pigmentation and open pores.

No. Men come to us regularly, most often for scalp micropigmentation to disguise thinning hair or a receding hairline, and for brow definition after over-plucking or scarring. The technique is identical, only the shaping is different, since male brows are kept flatter and less arched to look natural.

Treatments are performed and overseen by Shreya Banerjee, a Biotechnologist, Aesthetician and Cosmetologist trained in Cosmetology at IDC, CIDESCO Switzerland, and in paramedical and clinical aesthetics through PGDCC India. She personally handles brow, lip and pigmentation work at both studios, supported by trained PMU technicians.

Both offer the same treatments, so pick whichever is easier to reach. Ballygunge is on Sarat Bose Road in Basudhara Building and is open 12 pm to 11 pm. Gariahat is on Rash Behari Avenue above the Manyavar showroom near Golpark and is open 11 am to 11 pm. Both run 7 days a week.

Both work. Walk-ins are welcome at either studio during opening hours, but booking ahead means you are seen without waiting and the right slot length is set aside for your treatment. Longer procedures such as microblading and lip blush run for two to three hours, so those are worth booking rather than walking in for.

Permanent makeup usually takes one main session plus a touch-up 4 to 6 weeks later. Skin treatments work differently: dark circles typically need 4 to 6 sessions and acne scar removal 3 to 6, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart. Tattoo removal takes the longest, often 6 to 10 sittings depending on ink depth and colour.

Starting prices at both studios are: mole removal INR 990, tattoo removal INR 1,290, hair fall treatment INR 1,490, under-eye dark circles INR 1,990, acne scar removal INR 2,490, HydraFacial INR 2,990, PRP INR 3,490, lip blush INR 5,900 and eyebrow microblading INR 7,999.
