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.
