          Areola reconstruction

            Offered free of charge to women affected by breast cancer, this dermopigmentation procedure aims to restore the natural appearance of the areolas after a mastectomy. Josée Gagnon combines medical technique and artistic sensitivity to help women regain confidence, femininity and dignity.

          • Microblading / Nanoblading

            05 of 05

            Microblading / Nanoblading

              Microblading is a pigmentation technique done by hand, drawing ultra-fine hair strokes to shape the brows naturally. Ideal for filling in sparse areas or redefining the line, it suits people who already have a good brow base. Combined with nanoblading — used for extra precision on darker skin or where there is no hair — the result is harmonious, natural and long-lasting.

            • A personalized assessment before every session

              Before every procedure, a full assessment determines the ideal shape, the right pigments and the best technique for each face.

            • A balance of art and technical precision

              Every stroke pairs the rigour of a medical approach with an artist’s eye, for a result that is both harmonious and lasting.

            • Regularly renewed pigments

              Natural pigments, replaced every 4 to 6 months to ensure freshness, performance and stable colour over time.

            • Aftercare advice for the best results

              Care doesn’t stop when the session ends. Clear aftercare instructions help your skin heal well and your makeup last longer.

            Josée is excellent and listens to her clients. It was for my eyebrows. Style requested: suited to the client's features, and she respects the colour and thickness requested…

            Questions & Answers

            Answers to the questions we hear most often, to help you understand our services and make an informed choice.

            Is there any risk in getting permanent makeup?

            The risk is practically nil. All tools are single-use or sterilized, and a health questionnaire is filled out first to make sure you are eligible for permanent makeup.

            Can vitiligo be treated?

            Yes. Besides vitiligo, we offer scar camouflage, baldness camouflage, hairline correction, alopecia treatment, asymmetry correction and breast reconstruction (recreating the areolas).

            What happens during a permanent makeup session?

            First, the technician talks with you to understand your needs and agree on the result you’re after, taking into account your face, its shape and your complexion. A topical anaesthetic is then applied to the area to make the session more comfortable. Treatment time varies with the area treated, but averages 1 hour.

            How soon can I get back to my usual activities?

            You can get back to your activities the same day. Keep in mind, though, that in some cases the makeup looks darker at first; this fades within a few days.

            Do I need to prepare my skin before the treatment?

            No, we take care of all that at the salon. After the session, however, you will need to apply vitamin E to the treated area for at least a week to help it heal. Also avoid wearing makeup for a few days; after that, you can go back to your usual beauty routine.

            Is permanent makeup painful?

            You may feel some slight discomfort, but the anaesthetic applied before the treatment makes the procedure entirely bearable.

            Could I have an allergic reaction after the session?

            As with any procedure, we cannot guarantee there will be no reaction. Reported cases are very rare, however, because an allergy test is done beforehand whenever there is any doubt.

            Are there contraindications to permanent makeup?

            Yes: severe medical conditions, anticoagulant medication, or drinking alcohol just before the treatment. Also avoid swimming pools for a few days after the session, to stay clear of any source of bacteria. Laser treatments should be avoided on areas treated with permanent makeup.

            Can I choose my colour?

            Of course. The technician will show you the full range of colours, and the choice is almost unlimited. If you’re unsure, she’ll be happy to advise you. A test is always done before the final procedure.

            How long does permanent makeup last?

            How long it lasts depends on several factors: light exposure, the colour chosen and, above all, your skin’s ability to eliminate the pigments. These pigments are plant- and mineral-based and known for their cosmetic qualities. Generally, the makeup lasts several years; a colour touch-up is strongly recommended after a few.

            Is permanent makeup the same procedure as a tattoo?

            They’re very similar, but permanent makeup uses a slightly different technique: the pigments, the needle gauge and the implantation depth all differ. So does how long it lasts.

            How much does a permanent makeup session cost?

            The consultation is free and takes about 20 minutes. Then, if you decide to go ahead, it costs $500 on average, depending on the area treated. The consultation and the treatment can be done in a single session. We accept cash, Visa and MasterCard. The cost depends on several factors: the distance travelled by our technician, your skin type and the treatment chosen. Permanent makeup lasts about 5 to 15 years. Contact us for more details.

            Is there any risk in getting permanent makeup?

            There is practically no risk, because every instrument our technicians use is single-use or sterilized. After reviewing the health form you fill out, they make sure you can receive these treatments safely.

            What factors influence how long permanent makeup lasts?

            Light exposure, the pigment colour chosen at the start, and your body’s ability to eliminate the pigments.

            What are the pigments made of?

            They’re plant- and mineral-based.

            What is the difference between permanent makeup and a tattoo?

            The pigments, the technique, the needle gauge, the depth at which the pigments are implanted, and the lifespan.

            Is the treatment painful?

            No. Most clients tell us they felt almost no pain, and a topical anaesthetic is applied.

            What colour choices are there?

            The choice is unlimited, and your colour is chosen to suit your needs.

            Are laser treatments harmful to permanent makeup?

            If you see professionals for your laser treatments, they’ll know how to guide you — because yes, most lasers must not be used on an area treated with permanent makeup.
