Permanent Cosmetics, also known as Micropigmentation, is a form of cosmetic tattooing used to enhance facial features. When applied by a skilled technician, it not only enhances individual features, but can also improve on nature's imperfections. Women of all ages appreciate the convenience, and enjoy the confidence in looking their best regardless of activity.

Permanent cosmetic application is the process of implanting color into the dermal layer of the skin with the use of a specially designed and approved instrument. The process of placing pigment under the skin varies accordingly depending on what area is being covered. In order to get the ideal color you will need a follow-up appointment within 4-6 weeks.

This procedure is permanent, although some clients can experience some fading due to sun exposure. This typically is done after 2 to 5 years. Every person is different. Some hold color for many years and others will need to return more often for a touch-up. The time you save not putting on make-up is well worth it.

NOTE: Permanent Make-Up colors always appear darker and more vivid until after the healing process is complete. Your "final" look appears more subdued.

Procedure Day for Permanent Cosmetics

Permanent Cosmetics is the best thing you can do for yourself to make you look and feel your best at all times. I recommend that we do a consultation a week before you decide to do the procedure.

During your FREE 30 minute consultation with me we will decide together on the style and color that suits your face and skin most perfectly. You will come in with your make-up on your face in the exact manner that you wish it to appear permanently. This will include color, shape, size, and style. Please bring eyebrow, eyeliner, or lipstick color with you as well. Once that is finalized, we can set your next appointment for procedure day.

When you arrive on your treatment day, you will fill out your paper work and I will take your 'before' picture to be included in your file. We will then discuss the shape and color. A soft complimentary color will be chosen at this time. The pigment is then placed into the dermal layer of your skin. This color will appear darker than the desired color due to the wet appearance just for the first few days.
We will need 2 hours for your appointment.

Upon completion of your procedure, cool water will be applied for a few minutes, and 'after' photo will be taken and a healing ointment will be applied. Your follow-up appointment will also be made for approximately 4-6 weeks later. It is important that the procedure be completely healed before your next appointment. You will go home with your after-care instructions. You must follow these instructions to achieve a long-lasting result.

Although the procedure will appear to be healed within a week, to insure color retention and avoid unnecessary pain, it is important not to re-injure the skin until it has completely healed. Minimum time for complete healing of procedures is 4-6 weeks.

All clients need to be good health condition before applying permanent cosmetics. If you have any health concerns please consult with your doctor before proceeding.

It is not a good idea to have permanent cosmetics before a special occasion, if you are pregnant, or if you are going on vacation.
