Permanent Cosmetic Makeup, also referred to as Micro- pigmentation or Cosmetic tattooing, is a procedure of applying micro insertions of pigment onto the dermal layer of the skin. For centuries, men and women have been utilizing this practice to enhance or correct their skin color. The most common applications involve the eyebrows, eyeliner and lips. Many women who have had this procedure find they wear much less makeup than before, while others continue to apply regular makeup for the more finished look and enjoy the color the permanent cosmetics add to their facial features, especially when no makeup is applied at all.

Is the permanent cosmetics procedure painful?
The procedure is relatively comfortable, especially when topical anesthetic is applied.

How is the procedure performed?
Your treatment provider will discuss the results you desire and, depending on the area to be treated, may have you apply regular makeup to determine the shape and colors you would like to attain. The area is cleansed and a topical anesthetic is applied for your comfort. Then, via a delicate hand piece, the pigment is placed throughout the dermal layer of the skin. An area such as a lip could take 40 to 60 minutes and a lower lash could take 30 to 40 minutes. However, each procedure length may vary among technicians.

What will I look like immediately following the procedure?
There will be slight swelling and redness of the skin, which will quickly subside. You may resume regular activities immediately. You may be asked to refrain from wearing makeup and contact lenses depending on the area treated. You will want to avoid direct sun exposure to the treated area for a certain period of time. You will begin to see your final results in a 2 to 3 week period. Individual results will vary. Results will vary over time.
