Permanent Cosmetics
Permanent cosmetic makeup is cosmetic tattooing. The specialized techniques used for permanent cosmetics are often referred to as ‘micropigmentation’, ‘micropigment implantation’ or ‘dermagraphics.’ The cosmetic implantation technique deposits colored pigment into the upper reticular layer of the dermis.
These cosmetics procedures are performed using various methods, including the traditional tattoo or coil machines, the pen or rotary machine and the non-machine or hand method. Typically, the process includes an initial consultation, then application of pigment, and at least one or more follow up visits for adjusting the color or density of the pigment.

What Is Permanent Cosmetic Makeup?
Permanent cosmetic makeup is cosmetic tattooing. The specialized techniques used for permanent cosmetics are often referred to as ‘micropigmentation’, ‘micropigment implantation’ or ‘dermagraphics.’ The cosmetic implantation technique deposits colored pigment into the upper reticular layer of the dermis.
Does It Hurt?
Virtually Painless. Topical anesthesia is used to alleviate discomfort during the procedure. This may vary according to each individual and the skills of the technician performing the service. I will discuss these methods with you to determine which one suits you best.
Are Permanent Cosmetics Really Permanent?
Technically, permanent cosmetics procedures are considered permanent because the color is implanted into the upper reticular part of the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo, fading can and often does occur, requiring periodic maintenance, color re-enhancement or color re-fresh.
How Are Permanent Cosmetics Done?
Permanent cosmetics procedures are performed using various methods, including the traditional tattoo or coil machines, the pen or rotary machine and the non-machine or hand method. The process includes an initial consultation, then application of pigment, and at least one or more follow up visits for adjusting the color or density of the pigment.
How Long Does Each Procedure Take?
The initial procedure will generally take approximately 1 to 2 ½ hours. Touch up procedures usually do not require as much time.
Is It Safe?
All proper sterilization and sanitary guidelines are followed, permanent cosmetics should be completely safe.
Are There Any After or Side Effects?
Generally, there is some swelling of the treated area. While eyebrows my show little after effect, eyeliner and lips may show more and the edema may last from two to seventy two hours. The color is much darker than you may expect for the first six to ten days. Sometimes, people have reactions to antibiotics. You may use any type of antibiotic that you prefer for your individual system. There may be other side effects unforeseen due to individuality.
Do the Pigments Pose Allergy Problems?
The application is just deep enough to penetrate the minute capillaries in the dermal layer of skin. There have been so few reactions to the pigments that some doctors are suggesting that the patch test be eliminated. Some doctors recommend that people with allergies have permanent cosmetic procedures because they can replace cosmetic products that they are sensitive to.
What’s a Touch-up and Do I Need One?
A touch-up is a color re-enhancement. Sometimes after a procedure the color fades after the first day or two.
