Services
Microblading
Microblading creates natural, hair-like eyebrow strokes using a manual handheld tool. Ruth Swissas technique mimics real brow hairs for a soft, defined look that lasts up to three years. Clients receive personalized pigment matching and shape design based on facial symmetry. The procedure includes numbing for comfort and aftercare guidance to ensure optimal pigment retention.
Scar Camouflage
Scar camouflage uses micropigmentation to blend discolored skin with natural tones. Ruth Swissa specializes in post-surgical scars, burns, and trauma-related discoloration. The process involves precise pigment selection and layering to achieve seamless results. Multiple sessions may be required for complex cases, with adjustments made as the skin heals.
Areola Pigmentation
Areola pigmentation restores nipple-areola complexes post-mastectomy using 3D micropigmentation. Ruths method creates realistic color and texture without surgery. The procedure is performed with medical-grade pigments and sterile equipment. Clients often report improved emotional well-being and body confidence after treatment.
Lip Blushing
Lip blushing adds subtle color and definition to lips through semi-permanent tattooing. Ruth Swissa customizes hues to complement skin tones while correcting asymmetry or scars. The treatment plumps lips visually and reduces the need for daily makeup. A follow-up session ensures even pigment retention and desired intensity.
Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial delivers hydration and exfoliation using patented vortex technology. This non-invasive treatment addresses fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. Ruth Swissas aestheticians tailor serums to individual skin concerns. Results are visible after one session, with no downtime required.

Questions
What is medical micropigmentation?
Medical micropigmentation deposits organic pigments into the skin to correct scars, restore areolas, or enhance facial features. Ruth uses sterile tools and color theory to create natural, long-lasting results.
Does microblading hurt?
Most clients feel minimal discomfort due to topical numbing. Ruth’s technique and cooling equipment ensure a comfortable experience, with sensations described as light scratching.
How long do permanent makeup results last?
Results last 1–3 years depending on skin type and aftercare. Oily skin fades faster, while touch-ups maintain vibrancy. Proper sun protection extends pigment longevity.
Can you fix previous permanent makeup mistakes?
Yes. Ruth specializes in correcting color mismatches, asymmetry, and over-pigmentation using advanced techniques. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
Are consultations free?
Yes. Complimentary consultations assess goals, skin type, and medical history to create personalized treatment plans before any procedure.
Is microneedling safe for all skin tones?
Yes. Ruth’s team tailors microneedling depth and serums to suit diverse skin tones and conditions, minimizing risks of hyperpigmentation or scarring.

I just love Ruth she's the BEST. I've had my eyebrows, lips, and eyes done by her. I literally fly from across the country (I live on the East Coast) to see her! The ladies who work here are always sweet and helpful as well. I have two pieces of advice if you want to be seen by her: Firstly, get a numbing/block done by Garfinkle Dentist (they are super sweet as well) next door for your lips. It's WELL worth it. Secondly, just trust Ruth. Seriously if she says go darker, do this, do that, just trust her. She knows what she's doing.

Rebekeh at Ruth Swissa Professional Permanent Makeup and Skin is hands down the best waxer I have ever had. I followed her here from another salon, and although I have since moved to Tacoma, I still drive up to Seattle for my waxes. She is inexpensive, FAST, and great at what she does. Every other Brazilian I've had has taken at least twice as long, AND cost more money. And when she's done, there won't be a stray hair or irritated bump in sight. You can't go wrong here.

Ruth Swissa exceeded my expectations and I am thrilled! The permanent makeup Ruth did on my lips, eyeliner, eyebrows and scar camouflage have improved my appearance dramatically. I can run around town without taking the time to put on makeup and still look good and completely natural. Ruth is an incredibly skilled technician and artist. She is also a delight to work with. I only wish I had discovered her years ago.

I would highly recommend Ruth, she truly is an expert in her line of work!!!

Ruth is amazing! She just tells you the truth up front. Everyone I know that sees her has the most amazing skin and she helped them achieve it. It's refreshing to have someone show you ~ how you can actually achieve better skin. She truly is someone who genuinely cares. She talked with my daughter and helped her stop using all the crap she got from her dermatologist. I am looking forward to being a long time client and friend.
