Microblading

Microblading at Ruth Swissa involves hand-held tools to create hair-like strokes for natural, full eyebrows. This semi-permanent technique lasts 1-3 years, ideal for sparse or over-plucked brows. Clients avoid daily makeup, achieving a polished look with minimal maintenance.

Scar Camouflage

Scar camouflage uses custom pigments to blend discolored skin from surgery, burns, or trauma. Ruths expertise ensures seamless color matching, restoring confidence through non-invasive, long-lasting results tailored to individual skin tones and medical needs.

Areola Restoration

Areola restoration recreates a three-dimensional nipple-areola complex post-mastectomy. Using micropigmentation, Ruth provides a painless alternative to surgical reconstruction, enhancing emotional and physical recovery for breast cancer survivors.

Lip Blushing

Lip blushing adds subtle color and definition to lips, correcting asymmetry or discoloration. The semi-permanent procedure lasts 1-2 years, offering fuller, youthful lips without daily makeup, using organic pigments for safety and natural results.

24K Gold Facial

The 24K Gold Facial detoxifies and brightens skin using gold-infused products. This anti-aging treatment reduces inflammation and improves elasticity, delivering radiant, healthy skin through Ruths curated skincare expertise and advanced techniques.

Is permanent makeup painful?

I discovered Ruth through positive reviews and decided to try getting my eyebrows and eyeliner permanently done.. not only is she gorgeous herself but her lovely disposition and welcoming staff made me feel like a movie star and then after Ruth did my eyebrows, eyeliner and lips, I LOOK like one!! I am constantly asked who did my eyebrows and lips and complimented on them I cant say enough good things about this place and about Ruth only to say I cant imagine living without her expertise now that i have found her!!

I literally can't stop staring at my lips so of course I had to come drop a review for the lip blushing queen herself! but first, can we talk about how sweet and friendly Ruth and her employees are! i felt so comfortable the entire process and knew I was in great hands with how knowledgeable Ruth was with working with dark lips. I never thought I would ever be able to wear any shade of lipstick and have it show up on my lips as the shade on the model or even be comfortable leaving the house with my bare lips but thanks to Ruth i can now. WOC! you have to go see Ms Ruth! trust me!

I recently visited Ruth Swissa for my skin, I have suffered from acne my whole life, having its worst phase be during middle school through high school, but it really wasn't until visiting Ruth that I had begun to have some hope, that I really started seeing progress and the light at the end of the tunnel. I had found Ruth Swissa on instagram @ruthswissapermanentmakeup and saw these unbelievable before and afters of this model, Mikaela Kreuz, who I follow and admire. At first I couldn't even believe it, I thought wow, this is just another promotion . But it wasn' until I started seeing Mikaela
