WHAT IS PERMANENT MAKE UP? Permanent cosmetic makeup is cosmetic tattooing. The specialized techniques used for permanent cosmetics are often referred to as “micro pigment implantation. The cosmetic implantation technique deposits colored pigment into the upper reticular layer of the dermis. Whatever procedures are desired, permanent cosmetic makeup can create a polished, subtle or natural look. Because it is permanent, many women elect to have a natural look. After surgical procedures, women can use permanent color techniques to camouflage scars or to create an illusion of areolas and nipples after breast cancer and reconstructive surgery. Men may want permanent color to give the look of fuller eyebrows, to mask the effects of slight hair loss or to camouflage scars.


IS IT SAFE? If proper sterilization and sanitary guidelines are met, permanent cosmetics should be completely safe.

HOW ARE PERMANENT COSMETIC PROCEDURES DONE? Procedures are performed using a rotary machine. The process includes an initial consultation, then, application of the pigment, and at least one or more follow up visits for adjusting the shape and color or density of the pigment.


IS IT PAINFUL? Most people experience some discomfort. This may vary according to each individual’s pain threshold and the skills of the technician performing the service. HOWEVER, there are various topical anesthetic ointments, and anesthetic locals used to alleviate discomfort.


ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR POSSIBILITY FOR MEDICAL PROBLEMS?
