What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup, otherwise known as, Intradermal Pigmentation is
a revolutionary method of applying micro insertions of natural
pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. Intradermal Pigmentation
combined with cosmetic artistry is used for a variety of permanent cosmetic enhancements such as
permanent eyebrows, eye liner, lip liner and full lip color. It is also a
valuable procedure for camouflaging scars, burns, and skin
pigmentation variances caused by Vitiligo, correcting some facial
irregularities or to further enhance facial rejuvenation and
post-operative treatments.
Who benefits from permanent makeup?
Everyone, from the young to the elderly, who desires a soft,
natural enhancement to their appearance. It is especially beneficial
to people who can’t wear other cosmetics due to allergies or skin
sensitivities; Active people who want to look their best during
activities such as swimming, hiking, biking, tennis, aerobics, and
those who don't want to worry about "sweating off" or reapplying
cosmetics. It is also helpful to people with visual
impairment, watery eyes, and those with unsteady or arthritic hands
that have difficulty applying makeup. Permanent cosmetics are the
choice for those who wish to always look their best.
