Permanent Makeup

What is Permanent Makeup? - Permanent Makeup procedures are safe and effective ways to look beautiful all the time.  It is actually a tattooing procedure, in which the pigments are implanted into facial skin.  A topical anesthetic is applied to ease discomfort.  After the anesthetic takes effect, the actual procedure is started.  The length of time varies depending on the area being implanted, pigment shade and your body's ability to accept the pigment.  Liners and brows are usually an hour to an hour and a half.  Full lip color is typically two hours to two and a half hours.

How long will it last? - The term "permanent" is used because the color cannot be washed off.  However, the facial skin is very different from the skin on other areas of the body and is more likely to fade.  UVA and UVB exposure is more prominent on the face and since this area is exposed, these areas are left vulnerable to the elements.  Usually, color refreshing may be needed every one to two years.  Remember, the darker the color, the longer it will last.  The lighter the color, the faster it will fade.

What do I need to do after I receive Permanent Makeup? - Proper aftercare is extremely important.  This will keep your color more vibrant for a longer period of time.  It is very important that you do not pick at the epithelial crust after the procedure.  This will remove pigment, leaving gaping holes in your new permanent makeup.  Keeping the area moist with the correct treatment products is also very important.  This helps to protect the area and keeps flaking to a minimum.  You will be given an aftercare sheet prior to your procedure.
