PERMANENT MAKE-UP

While tattooing is an ancient practice, cosmetic tattooing applied with the purpose of becoming permanent makeup - also known as micropigmentation, dermal pigmentation, and permanent cosmetics - is fast becoming a popular modern remedy for smudging eyeliner, bleeding lipstick, and uncontrollable eyebrows. But what most people don't realize is that permanent makeup is a wonderful cosmetic procedure for cancer patients who have lost their hair. For them, very natural looking eyebrows and eyelash enhancers are a God-send. For those with Breast reconstruction - just having color implanted for an areola is incredibly uplifting.

The application of micropigmentation is a unique combination of artistic ability and technical skill. To create the most natural results, technique, placement, color, artistry and good judgment are paramount. Specialized instruments allow the permanent makeup practitioner to place color into the layer of skin known as the dermis. The Client is fully aware during a procedure, instructing the technician where to implant the pigmentation for the permanent makeup. There is little discomfort with most procedures in which a topical anesthetic may be applied. There is a wide range of colors a client may choose from. Because the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis, is always shedding and renewing itself, the color is viewed through a thin veil of skin. Because the color is placed 'in' the skin and not 'on' the skin a natural, soft look results. Following a micropigmentation procedure, in most cases, there will be slight swelling and redness of skin, which will subside quickly. Normal activities can be resumed immediately following the procedure. Normal healing is a process with final results not fully realized for at least two weeks. Traditional makeup can be applied over permanent makeup.

WHO BENEFITS FROM PERMANENT MAKEUP?

Men as well as women benefit from permanent cosmetics. Also, busy people with little time to apply makeup; people with allergies to conventional makeup skin sensitivities; anyone who desires the freedom and convenience from daily makeup application; athletic people and those with oily skin who tend to shed makeup easily; burn survivors and people with flaws in their skin; entertainers; actresses; models - such as Elizabeth Taylor, Dolly Parton, Racquel Welch, Cher and others. Chemotherapy patients find that eyeliner, eyelash enhancement, and brows can lift their spirits during very difficult cancer treatments. Other special needs for permanent makeup include scars, vitiligo, alopecia or other health problems. Also, the vision impaired who have difficulty applying their own cosmetics, and others with motor impairments such as arthritis, Parkinson�s disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke survivors.

IS PERMANENT MAKEUP REALLY PERMANENT?

Technically, permanent cosmetics procedures are considered permanent because the color is implanted into the upper reticular part of the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed or rubbed off. However, fading can and often does occur as with any tattoo. Periodic maintenance, color re-enhancement or color refreshing is desirable every one to two years.
