Permanent makeup is the art of cosmetic micropigmentation. During this procedure, FDA approved colored pigment (from vegetable dyes) is implanted into the dermal layer of the skin. Our office offers permanent makeup treatments for upper and lower eyeliner, eyebrows, lip line and full lips. We use a rotary pen machine with disposable tips for application.

Does it hurt?
You may experience some discomfort, which will vary according to each individual’s pain threshold. Keep in mind that the esthetician will use topical anesthetic to numb the area to minimize pain.
Some people may experience a slight degree of redness or swelling post procedure, but are able to resume their normal activities immediately afterward. One may use ice to minimize the discomfort. Your aesthetician will thoroughly explain what you should expect and will advise on how to care for your skin pre- and post-treatment.

Is it safe?
Allergic reactions to permanent cosmetic procedures are extremely rare. The FDA approved cosmetic pigments are formulated for the face, and disposable sterile needles and surgical gloves are used for each procedure. However, micropigmentation is an invasive procedure, so it is important to consult an experienced professional technician who is licensed, qualified and conscientious.

Is permanent make-up really permanent?
A variety of factors influence the longevity of permanent cosmetics. Ultra-violet exposure from sun or tanning booths, various drugs and excessively dry skin are all factors that may affect permanent cosmetics. Alpha-hydroxy, Retin-A, and glycolic acid must be kept away from treated areas. Sunblock on eyebrows, sunglasses for eyeliner, and SPF on lips will greatly prolong the color life. Fading of your permanent cosmetics can occur, requiring periodic maintenance.
Botox, collagen treatments, lip augmentation, implants, laser treatments or any other potential face altering procedure may affect or alter your permanent make-up.
