Micro-Pigmentation, also known as permanent makeup, is a procedure applying pigment into the dermal layer of skin. This state of the art procedure has been performed for a variety of makeup enhancements for hundreds of years. Cosmetic tattooing can offer subtle enhancements to lip liner & lip color, upper and lower eyeliners and eyebrows

 

Eyeliner

An eyeliner procedure defines the lash line and enhances your eye shape. Thickness and color may vary according to a client's request. Pigment is implanted close to the lash line to ensure a natural line.

 

Eyebrows

If you use pencil to define your eyebrows, permanent make-up would certainly rid you of that burden. Keep your eyebrows during swimming, aerobic classes and while you sleep. An eyebrow procedure may take on the appearance of simulated hair strokes of color beneath existing light and sparse hairs.

 

Cosmetic Makeup Enhancements

Lip Liner & Lip Color

A lip liner not only defines the existing lip line, but may also augment the size. It can also camouflage any scars and other anomalies such as cleft lip. Lip augmentation appears to increase the size and fullness of the natural lip line. People who lose natural lip color through the aging process benefit dramatically from this procedure. A very popular enhancement and a beautiful one at that.

Permanent makeup such as eyeliner, eyebrow and lip liners are natural lines of definition.

 

 

What do you need to know

How is it performed?

We use sterilized and disposable needles to implant desired color into the dermis layer of the skin.

 

Is it painful?

Highly effective topical anesthetics are applied to numb the area and provide comfort to ensure a perfect procedure. Depending on which anesthetics are used, generally there is a minimal discomfort.

 

What is involved in the healing and post-care?

There is some redness and slight swelling immediately following the procedure. This disappears quickly after a day or so. Applying ice is helpful as is keeping the area moist with healing agents.

 

Will I need more than one appointment?

A touch up appointment is sometimes needed 3 to 8 weeks after the initial appointment. This second appointment will perfect and detail the final look. As the years pass (5-10 years), re-enhancements or maintenance may be desired for some people.

 

What is the pigment composed of?

Pigments are made of mineral and iron oxide base colorants. These colorants have been used in the cosmetic industry for years and are found in cady, confectionary and pills.

 

Who performs these procedures?

A trained and qualified micro-pigmentation technician will consult and review your procedure with you and will advise your best choice of colors and shape.
