I promise - no picking. Will be easy, I'll just scratch my mosquito bites instead
Karen, yes, it hurts LOL - it's a needle going in and out and in and out and scraping along. She does numb the area, and I have to admit, some hurt and some of it really didn't hurt at all. But I felt like a big baby and a wimp LOL Some of the feeling wasn't pain, just a very strange feeling, like when you're tickled till it's uncomfortable? Can't think of any other way to discribe that. We did quit a little sooner than she would have because I was starting to feel uncomfortable from the swelling - in other words, the needle going in wasn't worse, but when she went to rub more anesthetic on my eye - that did - strange. But it will all get taken care of on the second visit.
I'm not sorry I did it at all, and can't wait for this to completely heal so I can get the 2nd visit over and done with and have the final results. Some places do the 2nd visit in 4 weeks- Connie who did my eyes likes 6 weeks minimum, cuz she says even though the eye looks and feels totally healed in 4, it really isn't, and she prefers to have it completely healed first.
I looked at doing this several years ago and didn't feel comfortable with the person I went to see. This lady made me feel comfortable right away - and being able to see several women she has done, made it very easy to feel good about going to her. I love her lips, but am not willing to go through the pain to have those done, and don't have the desire to do my eyebrows, so the eyeliner is all for me
