What is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup is a technique that places pigment into
the dermal layer of skin in order to achieve the look of makeup. Looks that can
be reproduced include, but are not limited to eyeliner or eyelash enhancements,
eyebrows and lip liner or lip shading. Permanent makeup helps replenish what the
years have taken away. It gives back precious time that you would otherwise spend
"putting on your face". Because the color is placed in the skin not on
it soft and natural result is achieved.
Is permanent makeup really permanent?
While permanent makeup can fade as time passes and though you may
have some initial fading from the skin’s natural exfoliation process, permanent makeup
should be considered a permanent procedure. It is easy to add color, but difficult to
take it away. As such, we suggest starting off conservatively until your desired look
is achieved.
Who can benefit from permanent makeup?
Individuals...
- who desire convenience and a little more time in the morning;
- who have lost lash or brow hair as a result of over tweezing, aging, alopecia, chemotherapy or trichotillomania (pulling of hair including brows and lashes);
- who are visually impaired or suffer from arthritis and find it difficult to apply makeup;
- who suffer from allergies to traditional makeup or those that have seasonal or other allergies that cause watery eyes;
- who have a difficult time applying traditional makeup correctly;
- who are involved in outdoor activities or sports.
Is the procedure painful?
Topical anesthetics have been developed and are applied to the area
prior to and during the procedure. While I do my best to ensure that you are comfortable
throughout the procedure, you may experience some discomfort. As the procedure nears
completion and the topical anesthetics wear of, you will be given ice packs which will
sooth the area.*
* It is important to apply ice packs 10 minutes on 10
minutes off during the first few hours after your procedure.
What if I have plastic surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is desirable for many reasons as we age. It's best to
complete your surgery before having your makeup applied. Laser surgery or resurfacing may
result in color loss or darkening of your makeup depending on the laser and the colors in
your skin. Advise your laser surgeon that you have permanent cosmetics so that he or she
can perform a "spot test" before they proceed. If either cosmetic surgery or laser
causes color loss, then it is a simple matter to have the color replaced. Your technician
can explain more about complications of cosmetic tattoos.
What if I need an MRI?
By all means get the needed MRI. Temporary tingling, redness and swelling
have been reported for those with eyeliner tattoos. Advise your physician that you have a
cosmetic tattoo. He or she may wish to place a wet cotton round over your eyes during the MRI.
