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!

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!
