What is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent Makeup is a state of the art technique in which pigment is placed into the dermal layer of the skin. The color chosen is complimentary for each client's skin, and enhances the  natural beauty. With permanent makeup, you will no longer suffer smeared eyeliner, or constant need for lipstick touch-ups. Imagine no more need to draw on brows that are thin or faded. It is an extremely rewarding cosmetic procedure that will help you will look beautiful throughout the day and night. 


Benefits: 

Permanent Makeup can benefit anyone who: 

                  *Has an active lifestyle
                  *Has difficulty putting on makeup
                  *Has allergies to regular cosmetics
                  *Applies makeup throughout the day
                  *Wants to enhance appearance
                  *Wants to restore natural appearance
                  *Wants to spend less time applying makeup

Is the procedure painful?

Top of the line topical anesthetics specifically formulated for permanent cosmetics are used. These are applied to the treatment area before and during the procedure to minimize discomfort. Typically, clients experience a minimal amount of tenderness, but this is very manageable.  Many of my clients fall asleep during their procedures.  

How long will it take to recover?

It is advised that you do not plan permanent makeup prior to any special events. Initially, you can expect a small amount of swelling and redness. This will subside rather quickly. Eyeliner procedures typically make your eyes look like you have had a decent cry. Lip color often involves minimal  swelling for about  couple of days. Eyebrow procedures rarely swell. Most women are able to return to work the same day or the following day.  You can expect complete display of color   in  approximately six to eight weeks from the final application. 

 

How long will my makeup last?

Permanent cosmetics can last many years, but eventually will need maintenance. Each individual will vary in how often they will return additional color. Many factors can affect the duration of your permanent cosmetics, including sun exposure, swimming, and the body’s natural metabolism.  Expect to have at least two appointments to achieve final results.
