What
is "Permanent Makeup"?
Permanent
Makeup, also referred to as micro-pigmentation, cosmetic tattooing
or dermal-pigmentation is a process whereby completely natural
pigments are implanted beneath the epidermis (top layer of skin),
into the dermal layer (second layer of skin), by micro insertion.
This technique has been medically developed and specifically designed
for a safe permanent application.
The pigments used have been specially formulated for cosmetic
application.
Not to be compared with traditional tattooing, in which permanent
skin dyes and inks are placed into the skin.

Does
the procedure hurt?
This
may vary according to each individual's pain threshold, however,
topical anesthetics are used to numb the area and minimize discomfort.
Most people describe a mild pricking sensation.
Is
it safe?
Allergic
reactions to permanent makeup procedures are extremely rare.
The cosmetic pigments are made from completely natural ingredients,
and disposable sterile needles and surgical gloves are used
for each
procedure. However, micro-pigmentation is a skin invasive procedure.
It is extremely important to consult an experienced professional
technician who is licensed, qualified and conscientious.
How
long does each procedure take?
Times
vary according to the individual's sensitivity, hydration, density,
elasticity, and overall condition of the skin.
Allowing time for anesthetics to take effect, implanting of
the pigment,
and some final fine tuning of the procedure, average time for
the initial
visit is as follows:
1
+ hours for eyeliner
1-2 hours for eyebrows or lipliner
2 + hours for full lip color
How
many appointments will be necessary?
Four
to six weeks after the initial application, a follow-up visit
may be
required to perfect the lines or color. This visit does not
require as much
time as the initial procedure.
There is no additional charge for this visit.
