Benefits & More

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eye lining and other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the face, lips, and eyelids. micropigmentation provides a safe and natural looking alternative to end daily make up routine. Permanent cosmetics make up is a process where pigments are inserted into the dermal layer of the skin, permanently. Although techniques may vary, the results are always the same permanent waterproof color, hassle-free and always fresh! The first step consists in evaluating the different possibilities offered for each client by this technique, by evaluating the facial symmetry so that the new creation will be an integral part of your face. There are no risk involved because before doing the procedure, you have to approve the ultimate shape which is drawn using a skin pencil. The same approval is required when determining choice of color. A variety of colors are available for each procedure, which are selected, depending on the appropriate color for each client's skin stone. Micro-pigmentation is then performed using a hand held implanter that places the color in the dermis or second layer of skin. Permanent makeup (PMU) is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances facial features by implanting pigment into the skin. It is commonly used for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips to create a long-lasting, natural look. PMU saves time on daily makeup application and can also be used for medical purposes, such as scar camouflage or areola restoration.
AccPermanent makeup is long-lasting but not truly permanent. Over time, as you become accustomed to your enhanced look, you may desire touch-ups. I recommend refreshing your makeup annually, especially for lighter colors or individuals with oily skin. Darker pigments tend to last longer and may only need retouching every few years. The longevity of permanent makeup depends on each person’s metabolism and how their body naturally breaks down the pigment. To maintain your results and prevent fading, follow a proper aftercare routine: Limit sun exposure and apply sunscreen daily. Avoid creams containing AHA or bleaching agents on the treated area. Oily skin types may experience faster pigment fading. Natural pigment shades are more prone to fading over time. Since every individual is different, it's difficult to predict exactly how many years the pigment will last once implanted in the skin.ordion Sample Description
Yes, permanent makeup is generally a safe procedure when performed by a trained and licensed professional who follows proper sterilization and safety guidelines. Ensuring the use of sterile needles, disposable equipment, and maintaining a clean environment reduces the risk of complications. It's important to choose a reputable technician who adheres to health and safety standards to ensure a safe and successful outcome.
Although it's possible to develop an allergy to anything at any time, pigment allergies are rare. Some doctors recommend permanent cosmetics for individuals with environmental allergies or sensitivities to conventional makeup, as it can be a suitable alternative. While allergic reactions to tattoo pigments—whether on the body or face—can occur, they are extremely uncommon. For safety, a patch test can be performed prior to the procedure.
Numerous studies have shown that even for people who have large body tattoos there is little to no potential for irritation resulting from an MRI.In the rare instance where discomfort resulted, it was localized and very temporary. However, with that said, it is prudent to advise your MRI technician that you have permanent cosmetics.
