Permanent Cosmetics FAQs

What exactly is permanent cosmetics makeup?

Permanent cosmetic makeup is a state-of-the-art form of cosmetic tattooing. The specialized techniques used for permanent cosmetics are often referred to as "micro-pigmentation", "micro-pigment implantation" or "dermagraphics." The cosmetic implantation technique deposits tiny individual implants of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin.

What is the process for permanent Cosmetics?

Permanent cosmetic procedures are performed using various machines and methods, including the traditional tattoo or coil machines, the pen or rotary machine and the non-machine or hand method. These procedures include the initial consultation, initial application of pigment and usually one or two follow up visits to adjust the shape and color or density of the pigment.

What areas can I have Permanent Cosmetics applied to?

Eyebrows - We can enhance the shape, arch and thickness of your eyebrows. Eyebrows that are too sparse can be filled. If very little of your natural eyebrows remain we can create natural looking ones with precision hairline strokes. Many color choices are available to achieve a natural look.

Eyeliner - We can create a soft, natural look that will make your eyelashes appear thicker and fuller. Or, we can apply a thin line at the base of your lash line following the contour of your lashes.

Lip Liner and Lip Tint - We can correct lip unevenness and irregularities and add definition and fullness to your lips. By adding a little color, we can enhance the shade of pale lips.  Because the color is under the skin, we can give you a more natural look than you can get with a traditional lip pencil. You may choose from a natural color to blend with your lips or darker shades for a more dramatic effect.
