Why should someone have permanent cosmetics?
Why not? Permanent cosmetics is perfect for the busy person who has little time to apply conventional makeup, those who like to wake up with a fresh natural look, the athlete who wants to look natural and for those with oily skin whose makeup seems to disappear after a short time. It is also ideal for persons allergic to conventional makeup or anyone with limited and movement...poor eyesight...or contact lens wearers.
What is permanent cosmetics?
Permanent cosmetics is a process in which sterile cosmetic pigment is placed under the dermal layer of the skin.
Is this like tattooing?
Yes, exactly...Because we are putting pigment in the second layer of the skin it is tattooing. Our pigments are sterile cosmetic colors that contain iron oxides...which are metal...specially created for enhancement. Historically, colors can "turn" or change color over time and as a result we use only the finest cosmetic colors available. The sterile disposable needles we use are of a fine gauge that is designed for delicate facial tissue. The machines we use are very sophisticated and made for a soft and detailed artistic procedure.
Is it really permanent?
Yes.. Though we use the finest cosmetic colored pigments, they will soften in color over time. We have no way of knowing how long a particular application will last, and cannot guarantee, that the color will completely disappear. The colors are very blend able and changeable so should you wish to change "the look". We suggest you let us "freshen" the color occasionally.
Is it safe?
Yes. All pigments, water, glycerine, alcohol, and coloring agents are sterile. All pigments used are disposed of and never reused. The needles are sterile and disposable. The machine that applies the pigment has a"closed loop" system with no chance of cross contamination. All products are manufactured in the United States.
