How do I know if I need a
microshading revision or removal?

Determining whether you need permanent makeup removal or a revision will depend on a few factors:

Fading or discoloration: If your permanent makeup has faded or changed color over time, a permanent makeup revision may be necessary to touch up the pigment and restore the desired shade. However, if you no longer want the permanent makeup at all, removal may be the best option.

Incorrect shape or placement: If the shape or placement of your permanent makeup is not what you had in mind, a revision may be necessary to correct the mistake. However, if you no longer want the makeup at all, removal may be a better choice.

If you are interested in getting permanent makeup, visit our partners at Beauty Above Most and get a discount when you mention Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. New update: I had a wonderful experience with Carol. She was professional, knowledgeable and paid attention to every detail to clearly explain my skin concerns. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The moment I walked into the clinic I felt a happy, welcomed and professional setting. I had my Sofwave treatment with Alison Falada, Master Esthetician and Laser Specialist. She was nothing short of amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, skilled and detailed throughout the entire experience. She took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, addressed all of my my questions and concerns. Alison is an expert and provided great quality service! I love my results and can't wait to book my next appointment with her!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Carol for Botox for over two years, and she is absolutely amazing! I trust her completely with my face. She always takes the time to listen to what I want and makes sure my results look natural and beautiful—she never overdoes it. I especially appreciate how honest she is; she will tell you when you don’t need something rather than trying to sell you more treatments.

Carol truly cares about her patients and always makes me feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home. She is professional, knowledgeable, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I always leave feeling confident and happy with my results. It’s hard to find someone you can trust this much, and I’m so grateful I found Carol.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Chicago Aesthetics has always been positive. I am so grateful to Stephanie for her guidance and expertise on my treatment plan over the past year. She was thoughtful in her approach to treating my hyperpigmentation and acne and always informed me on what was going on during each treatment and why we were doing it. I wouldn’t go to anyone else and highly highly recommend her! Also, the ladies at the front desk are always so kind and make the booking process and check in/check out process go smoothly.
