Q: How is the Permanent Make-Up procedure done?
A: Permanent cosmetic procedures are performed using various methods.
The most commonly used is the rotary machine. The process includes an
initial consultation, then application of pigment, and one follow up visit
for adjusting the shape and color or density of the pigment.
Q: Who Benefits from Permanent Cosmetics?
A: EVERYONE, from the young to the elderly, who desires a soft, natural
enhancement to their appearance. It is especially beneficial to people
who can't wear other cosmetics due to allergies and skin sensitivities;
Active people who want to look their best for activities such as swimming,
hiking, biking, tennis, aerobics, and those who don't want to worry about
"sweating off" or reapplying cosmetics. Also the vision impaired
who have difficulty applying their cosmetics, and others with motor impairments
such as arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke
survivors, and those with unsteady hands who cannot apply their own makeup,
and busy people who don't have time to spend on their makeup.
Q: Are Permanent Cosmetics Really Permanent?
A: Technically, permanent cosmetics procedures are considered permanent
because the color is implanted into the upper reticular part of the dermal
layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo,
fading can and often does occur, requiring periodic maintenance, color
enhancement or color refreshing. After your first application you come
back 4-6 weeks later for a touch up which is included in the initial cost
of the procedure.
Q: What Type of Permanent Cosmetic Procedures can be done?
A: Permanent Cosmetic procedures can be very subtle or dramatic depending
on what you are looking for. Options include:
- Eyebrows
- Eyeliner Top and Bottom
- Eye Lash Enhancement
- Lip Liner
- Lip Shading
Q: How Long Does Each Procedure Take?
A: The initial procedure will generally take approximately 2 to 3½
hours. Touch up procedures usually don’t require as much time.
Q: Is It Painful?
A: There is minimal discomfort. We use topical and sometimes local anesthetics
to greatly reduce discomfort and promote relaxation. Some clients feel absolutely
nothing except a prickly sensation.
Q. How long is healing time?
A: Between 4-7days sometimes less depending on the area treated.
Q. How long does Permanent Make-Up last?
A: This varies with each individual person, though the expectation is
between 2-4 years.
