Permanent makeup, also known as Intradermal Pigmentation, is a revolutionary method of applying natural pigments into the dermal layer of skin. This state-of-the-art technique is medically proven and specifically designed to be completely safe.

Permanent makeup is used for a variety of cosmetic enhancements such as permanent eyebrows, eye liner, and lip liner/color. Other permanent makeup procedures include vitiligo, scar camouflage, areola restoration, hairline enhancement, and more. Permanent makeup has also been used to cover-up stretchmarks, birthmarks, freckles/age spots, and uneven skin discolorations.

Here are  a few popular procedures………

Lip Liner/Color

The Intradermal Pigmentation procedure for lip color is beautiful. It can appear to change the size and shape of the lips as well as the color. This procedure helps prevent lipstick from bleeding into the surrounding skin. Many people request a soft pink, similar to the lip color to that of an infant, for those who want a natural look. Others may desire a dramatic effect.

Eyebrows

The Intradermal Pigmentation procedure for eyebrows can mimic the appearance of hair in the brow line. Anyone who desires more fullness of the brows will love the procedure (and the time saved not applying makeup!) Those who used to apply pencil can go swimming, play tennis, or wipe their forehead without the embarrassment of losing their eyebrows. Those suffering from alopecia (hair loss) are pleasantly surprised at how natural it looks.

 

 

 Microblading
Recently emerged, microblading – the most revolutionary permanent makeup technique, allows us to create perfect multi-dimensional brows that mimic your very own and fill in the sparse areas, naturally blending with your own hair.  Microblading technique uses a hand instrument with a fine blade to precisely deposit pigment into the epidermal layer of the skin. This allows for color to be placed closer to the skin’s surface making the strokes appear sharp and very fine.  The result is a very natural look with fine hair like lines gently enhancing the eyebrow’s natural features, giving clients more confidence in their overall appearance.  Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that lasts 1-3 years.

 

Eyeliner

A subtle, natural look, mimicking thousands of tiny eyelashes with the implantation of pigments in the lash line is popular with both male and female clients. Additional shadowing of color can be added for a soft natural liner or a more bold, definite line can be achieved. Ophthalmologists recommend Intradermal Cosmetic procedures for those who are allergic to conventional makeup and for those wearing contact lenses.

 

Nipple Areola Tattooing

The finishing touch to breast reconstruction is having your nipple areola tattooed. This is usually done in your plastic surgeon’s office. Tattooing is a simple, fast procedure. There is no need to be scared. If you are matching a new nipple areola to the existing breast, your plastic surgeon will mix various colors and shades to get the correct pigment. If you had bilateral reconstructions, your surgeon can use your preoperative photos to recreate the nipple color, or you can pick a new color that you like against your skin tones. As with any tattoo, the pigment will fade in time. Getting the right shade of color may require more than one tattoo procedure. If you are having nipple tattooing alone, with no nipple reconstruction, our tattoo artist specializes in giving your tattoo a three dimensional appearance, also known as a 3D tattoo.

Common FAQs

– Whats the difference between the Tradional Tattooing process and Permanent Makeup?
Where both procedures involve tattooing the skin, in traditional tattooing, pigment is added to the third layer of the skin, where in permanent makeup pigment is added to the second layer of the skin, called the Dermis, creating a final result of a soft blend of color to the tattooed area.

– Is this procedure painful?
Topical anesthetics are used to minimize discomfort.

– Do I have a choice of colors?
Definitely! There’s a wide spectrum of colors you may choose from.

– Do I have a choice in the placement of pigments?
Of course. During your consultation, design and pigment placement will be determined.

– What is involved in recovery?
There will be slight swelling and redness in the skin, which will subside quickly. You may resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. Complete healing takes one to six weeks while the pigmentation matures and reaches its final color.
