Are Permanent Cosmetics Permanent?
Technically, permanent cosmetics procedures are considered permanent because the color is
implanted into the dermal layer. Fading can and often does occur requiring periodic maintenance.
What is healing like?
There will be mild swelling of the area you have pigmented for 24-36 hours. Eyes will look like
you had been crying. Brows will look slightly darker with hardly any swelling. Lips will look as if
you had collagen injections (puffy or full). Sometimes there is asymetrical swelling. The color will
be darker for 4-5 days. You will see a light flaking of color revealing the permanent color under
the skin which is a softer tone of the initially applied color
Is it safe?
Very few people have allergic reactions, less than 99.9% However, regular cosmetics have
many other ingredients that can cause reactions. If you can wear conventional cosmetics, you
have nothing to worry about. If you have problems with makeup, we will do a patch allergy test
prior to scheduling a procedure for you. All equipment is sterilize. All needles and supplies used
for the procedure are disposable single use only.
What if I change my mind afterwards?
These procedures are permanent. However, you can alter almost any small change in either
color or placement of color with a second procedure. We recommend always selecting soft,
natural colors and styles so that you always have prettier face, yet you can still add your own
makeup should you desire a more dramatic look for evening or special occasions.
Is it comfortable?
These procedures are of a skin invasive nature and therefore you may experience some mild
discomfort, however, this is rare. We use a topical anesthetic preparation to dull the sensation.
Each individual will experience a different level of sensitivity, however most describe the
procedure application as irritating, at best.. The results are well worth the minimal time the
procedure takes.
How long does it take?
The initial procedure will generally take approximately 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours at the most. If a
follow up procedure is needed, it will take about one hour, about half the time of the initial
procedure.
What happens as I get older?
The colors will slowly fade over time. We strongly recommend using a sun block of at least 30
SPF on the areas you have pigmented. The advantage to the slow fading is that as you age you
may want the color to be softer than what you had a few years back. If desired, you can come in
for enhancement. You will still have color as the pigment will always be there, only softer.
How is Permanent Makeup done?
There are several methods and machines on the market to apply the permanent makeup
pigments to the skin. More important than the machine is the artistic ability of the technician and
their ability to enhance features naturally to stimulate soft cosmetics and never look harsh.
We first cleanse the area to be pigmented. We then draw on the shape of the area to be
pigmented with make up pencils so that the individual is part of the decision making process of
how much color and exactly where it will be placed.
There are several techniques used depending on the individual's preference in results. The
permanent makeup options are anything from a soft, feathery enhancement to a more dramatic
make up look..
