Question 1

Is the permanent makeup procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

No, micropigmentation does not have to be a painful procedure. I apply a topical anaesthetic cream during the procedure to ensure maximum comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a light vibration or minimal touch.

Question 2

How long does healing take after eyebrow micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

Surface healing takes 7-10 days. During this time the colour will appear more intense, then fade by 30-50% to a much more natural result. Full healing takes approximately 4-6 weeks.

Question 3

Do I need a touch-up session after micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the touch-up session is done 4-6 weeks after the main procedure, to correct and perfect the colour, shape and pigment intensity.

Question 4

How long does eyebrow micropigmentation last?

Accepted Answer

Micropigmentation can last from 1 year up to 2-4 years, with duration varying considerably depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. Dry skin with no imperfections and undilated pores retains more pigment compared to oily or combination skin, which produces sebum and can cause the pigment to appear more faded over time.

Question 5

What are the restrictions before the procedure?

Accepted Answer

Do not consume coffee, cola or any energy drinks. Do not consume any alcoholic beverages at least 48 hours before the procedure. Avoid taking medications 48 hours before your appointment. Avoid sunbeds or tanning at least 72 hours before your appointment. Sun-damaged skin is significantly more sensitive.

Question 6

What types of lash extensions do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I offer individual lash extensions, from the natural technique to soft volume. Each application is customised based on your eye shape, natural lash length and curl, plus your aesthetic preferences.

Question 7

How long do lash extensions last?

Accepted Answer

Lash extensions typically last 3-4 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and aftercare.

Question 8

How do I care for lash extensions at home?

Accepted Answer

For the first 24 hours avoid any contact with water. For the first 48 hours avoid saunas, hot baths, sunbeds or steam exposure. Daily care: wash your lashes gently every day in the direction of growth. Brush them twice a day — morning and evening.

Question 9

Will extensions affect my natural lashes?

Accepted Answer

Lash extensions, when applied correctly (no clumping, no discomfort or pain), using the correct technique, proper home care and regular infills every 3-4 weeks, will not affect your natural lashes.

Question 10

What is lip micropigmentation and what does the result look like?

Accepted Answer

Lip micropigmentation (lip blush or lip liner) is a semi-permanent technique that adds definition, symmetry and restores colour to your lips. The result is a subtly made-up, natural and long-lasting look — it does not replace lipstick.

Question 11

How long does lip micropigmentation last?

Accepted Answer

Lip micropigmentation lasts approximately 1-2 years. Lips absorb pigment differently from brows, as they are a more vascularised and moist area, which influences pigment retention. This is why the touch-up session at 4-6 weeks is essential for a uniform and lasting result.

Question 12

What does healing look like after lip micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

The first 3-5 days the lips may be slightly swollen and the colour may appear much more intense. Gradually the skin exfoliates and the colour settles to the desired final shade. Avoid licking your lips, hot or spicy food and sun exposure in the first weeks. Apply balm to keep the area moisturised.

Question 13

Can I change my lip shape with micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I can lightly correct asymmetries and create the impression of fuller or more defined lips. However, the technique can only be used for minor shape corrections — it cannot significantly enlarge lips. We'll discuss at the consultation what is realistically achievable for you.

Question 14

What is semi-permanent eyeliner (PMU) and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Eyeliner involves depositing pigment along the lash line (upper, lower or both), or creating a powder eyeliner effect on the eyelid. It lasts between 1 and 2 years and fades gradually and naturally.

Question 15

What are the aftercare recommendations for PMU Eyeliner?

Accepted Answer

Keep the area clean and dry, avoid water, makeup and rubbing your eyes. Do not pick the scabs and do not scratch if itchy. Mild swelling in the first 2-3 days is completely normal.

Question 16

How is semi-permanent eyeliner performed and how long does it take?

Accepted Answer

The procedure takes 1-2 hours. The desired shape is drawn first, then the pigment is deposited with precision. Several styles are available: natural, classic, cat eye or dramatic — we choose together.

Question 17

Can I get micropigmentation if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

I do not recommend micropigmentation procedures during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Hormones can influence pigment retention, and caution regarding substances applied to the skin is important during this period.

Question 18

Are there contraindications to micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Micropigmentation is not recommended for people with uncontrolled diabetes, active autoimmune conditions, coagulation disorders, allergies to pigments or metals, active infections on the treatment area, or those on certain medications. We'll discuss at the consultation.

Question 19

How much does micropigmentation and lash extensions cost in Baia Mare?

Accepted Answer

You can find the complete price list for each service (powder brows, lip blush, eyeliner or lash extensions) directly on the website, in the Services section. Our pricing is transparent, and the initial consultation is free.

Question 20

How do I book an appointment with Alessandra?

Accepted Answer

Appointments are arranged personally via WhatsApp at +40 746 582 722, through Instagram (@alessandracretu.pmu) or by phone call. Alessandra will confirm your available date, time and all preparation details. The initial consultation is free!

Question 21

What is the difference between powder brows and microblading (hair-stroke brows)?

Accepted Answer

Powder Brows offer a softly shaded, evenly filled effect. By contrast, the hair-stroke technique (microblading) involves drawing individual hairs by making micro-cuts in the skin. I exclusively use the powder and ombre technique because it is much gentler on the skin, heals beautifully, and lasts perfectly over time without causing deep scarring.

Question 22

How much does eyebrow micropigmentation cost?

Accepted Answer

The price for eyebrow micropigmentation (powder/ombre technique) is 800 RON for the initial procedure. The touch-up session at 4-6 weeks is 300 RON.

Question 23

How much does lip micropigmentation cost?

Accepted Answer

The price for lip micropigmentation (lip blush/liner) is 800 RON for the initial procedure. The touch-up session at 4-6 weeks is 300 RON.

Question 24

How much does permanent eyeliner cost?

Accepted Answer

The price for permanent eyeliner (classic or shaded) is 800 RON for the initial procedure. The touch-up session at 4-6 weeks is 300 RON.

Question 25

How much do lash extensions cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices vary based on technique: Natural Look is 230 RON (infill 200 RON), and Soft Volume is 250 RON (infill 230 RON).

Question 26

Why should I choose lash extensions over a lash lift (lamination)?

Accepted Answer

Unlike a lash lift which only temporarily curls and tints your natural lashes, lash extensions add real volume, density, and customized length. We offer everything from a Natural Look to Soft Volume, perfectly tailored to your face. With proper technique and gentle application, extensions do not damage your natural lashes and provide spectacular results.
