If you are considering micropigmentation,
more commonly known as permanent cosmetics, this will give you a
basic understanding of the procedures - when it can help, how it
is performed, and what results you can expect. This is not intended
to take the place of a personal consultation.
The application of micropigmentation is a
unique combination of artistic ability and technical skill. To create
the most natural results, technique, placement, color artistry and
good judgment are paramount.

the objective of micropigmentation
Permanent makeup is a time-saving
convenience for women on the go.

Enhancement of eyebrows is important
to frame the eyes, giving the face
expression. Eyebrows that are naturally
too light, too thin, sparse or non-
existent can be beautifully enhanced
and improved with micropigmentation.
Lashes will appear thicker when not
wearing mascara. Lining the eyes
enhances and defines their beauty.

Asymmetrical shaped lips, thick lips
or lips with uneven vermilion borders
are perfect for lip color. And it
eliminates the problem of lipstick
"bleeding" into the fine lines around
the mouth

Commonly asked questions
Is it a tattoo?
Yes, it is a form of tattoo using specially formulated pigments for cosmetic

Does it hurt?
The sensation can be compared to electrolysis or tweezing of eyebrows.
A topical
anesthetic is used for the patient's comfort.
What if I change my hair color?
Changing hair color will not effect properly applied permanent makeup.
All color
choices are selected to harmonize with skin tone and undertone.
What is the recovery time?
With the hand method of micropigmentation, we feel there is less trauma
to the skin,
no bruising to the eye or brow area. Lips will have minimal swelling.
What if I decide to have cosmetic surgery?
Plastic surgery has no effect on properly placed permanent makeup.
How long does it last?
Although micropigmentation is permanent, fading may occur within 3-5 years
for
fair skin, 4-7 years for darker skin. Some variables that affect longevity
include
depth of pigment color chosen, skin type and proper post care.
