Permanent make-up is a technique that involves tattooing dyes
into areas that would normally have make-up applied in order to
give a very long lasting color. The areas most frequently tattooed
are both upper and lower eyeliner, eyebrows, lip liner and lips.
The appearance can be very subtle giving a very natural appearance
in color or they can be more dramatic depending on the patient’s
wishes.
Permanent make-up can also be done as a micropigmentation technique
to help cover areas of irregular coloration of the skin where
there is a lack of pigmentation.
Who is a candidate for permanent make-up?
Permanent make-up is ideal for people who wish to have a long
lasting result without having to repeatedly apply make-up. It
is very helpful for people who tend to sweat a lot causing typical
make-up to run. Women who are in the pool frequently will also
benefit. If you have difficulty applying smooth even lines especially
to the eyelids, this technique is ideal for you. Also people who
have allergies to lots of different types of make-up may benefit
from the application of permanent make-up.
Who can apply permanent make-up?
At the Medi Spa at Ridgewood Hill our licensed Master Esthetician,
Melissa Miles is licensed by the state to apply permanent make-up.
Melissa has been doing this procedure since 2002 and takes pain
staking care with precise application of the dyes. Color choices
and desired look are carefully discussed with the patient and
tested before the procedure.
Is permanent make-up really permanent?
The ink is actually implanted into the skin and just like a regular
tattoo cannot be washed off. Because this is such a fine area,
over time the pigment will tend to fade and touch ups may be required,
usually in 7 years or so.
Is there any down time associated with permanent make-up application?
The area tattooed will appear very shiny for several days following
tattooing. This is because the area is actually still healing,
and will require placing a small amount of ointment on it. Within
a few days the area will heal and not appear as shiny. Lips will
take a little longer to heal than the brows or eyelids and may
be more sensitive.
