Permanent makeup (micro-pigmentation, cosmetic tattooing) is a procedure used to enhance or replace lost skin colour, correct imperfections, and improve lip, eyebrow or eyeliner volume by injecting pigment into the upper layer of the skin.
Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a process of applying semi-permanent pigment to the skin to mimic the look of makeup. This technique is used to enhance the features of the face, such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips, and can last for several years with proper care.
Permanent makeup has become increasingly popular due to its many benefits. Some of these benefits include:
This type of tattoo technique is performed using hypoallergenic, pharmaceutical grade mineral pigments superficially deposited into the upper dermal layer using the highest quality single-use, sterile needles to mimic conventional makeup for beautiful, long lasting results.
Pigments fade with time and the exact timing of this process differs from client to client depending on many factors including; the shade of the colour used, thickness of the skin in the area treated along with sun exposure etc. Periodic ‘retouches’ are advised to keep your result looking fresh and beautiful.
Sensitivity and pain tolerance differs widely amongst individuals but with the use of prescription grade topical numbing solutions prior to and during the treatment, any discomfort is greatly reduced to maximise client comfort.
Cosmetic tattooing is very safe when Health and Safety guidelines are adhered to, including the use of disposable, single-use needles and procedural items along with proper sterilization and disinfection protocols.
