Micro-pigmentation or permanent makeup is the process of applying pigment (color) into the skin.
Active Lifestyles – Permanent makeup allows a person to feel more confident when participating in activities that normally cause conventional makeup to sweat off.
Little or no brow hair – Thinning brow hair is a sign of aging and gives the illusion of the face dropping. Permanent Cosmetics can be applied to the eyebrow area in such a way that it looks as if more eyebrow hair is growing, framing and lifting the face.
Thin Lips – Lip Liner and Full Lip Color can make shrinking lips look fuller and detract from lines around an aging mouth. It helps rebuild the rim of the lip giving a smoother edge to the lips
Little or no lash hair – Eyelash hair also thins with age. Permanent Eyeliner gives eyes the illusion of thicker lashes.
Visual impairment / Contact lenses – As women get older their vision diminishes. This makes it hard for them to apply their eyeliner and brows. It can also give them a sense of helplessness.
Allergies
Unsteady hands – As people get older their mobility is hindered and it is more difficult to apply makeup in a precise manner. Permanent Cosmetics allow an older woman to feel assured that her makeup looks good and consistent all the time.
Those who just want to look great all of the time without the hassle – Permanent Makeup is often recommended by plastic surgeons because it is the “icing on the cake” after he has performed a brow lift or a full face lift. Permanent Makeup services are the perfect completion to the new look of plastic surgery.
Physical defects – Physicians have successfully been using Micro-pigmentation to disguise birthmarks and various kinds of scars. Permanent cosmetics works primarily on the face, scars, areola complex and other skin discolorations. A facial cosmetic Micro-pigmentation procedure provides an alternative to traditional daily makeup application.
Our Permanent cosmetic procedures are performed using a digital, medical grade machine. Your appointment includes a medical overview and a detailed discussion regarding your expectations including design and color. The application of the pigment is next. You are a part of the whole process during the procedure. Everything is explained to you with total appreciation that you have chosen me and trust me with your permanent cosmetics.
Technically, permanent cosmetic procedures are considered permanent because the color implanted into the skin cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo, fading can and often does occur, requiring periodic maintenance, color re-enhancement or refreshing. Just like hair color, furniture located near a window, or even house paint, the implanted color will fade over time depending on your health, skin type and how well you care for your skin.
Your comfort is very important to me! I take pride in making my clients as comfortable as possible. Most people experience some discomfort likened to a plucking or scouring sensation. This will vary according to each individual’s threshold. Using topical anesthetics that have been medically developed for permanent makeup application makes procedures reasonably comfortable.
A new needle is used for each client.
Equipment and supplies are kept in a sanitary manner.
Gloves are worn during each procedure and changed often.
If you feel there is a necessity, after the initial procedure, you may want to return for a touch-up. A touch-up is a color refresher. Permanent cosmetic makeup can be a process. It is recommended that you wait at least 6 weeks before your touch-up so your initial procedure has time to heal properly. To traumatize the skin sooner can be uncomfortable and doesn’t allow enough time for the pigment to settle in the skin.
Micro-pigmentation/Permanent Makeup is long-lasting, but one can still wear fashionable make-up at night or apply makeup for a fresh and natural look for daytime. Micro-pigmentation/Permanent Makeup simply builds the foundation for looking perfect without looking made-up.
