What is Permanent Make-Up?
  This medically developed procedure is a method of implanting color pigments into your skin to create lasting cosmetic effect. Make-up can be as soft or as dramatic as you like.
Why use Permanent make-up?
  Permanent make-up gives you the freedom to swim, exercise, and even cry - without worrying about your make-up smearing or coming off.
  Permanent make-up allows you the option to enhance your natural features or to create a dramatic effect. The choice is yours!

What Can Permanent Make-Up Do For Me?
  EYEBROWS - Permanent make-up will make the eyebrows look fuller, naturally. The brows are balanced with your facial features and are shaped to your liking. You will never need an eyebrow pencil again.

  LIPS AND LIPLINER - Permanent lipliner is available in shades of warm and cool tones. Lipliner helps to accentuate your lips, enhance the shape and even correct uneven lip contours. the entire lip can also be pigmented for a more polished look. It is ideal for lips that will not hold lipstick.
.
How Long Does Permanent Make-Up Last?
  The treatment is permanent. It will not wash off. However it will soften with age, sun skin peeling, and cleansing lotions and sometimes will need to be retouched.
.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
  Most sessions take one to two hours per procedure.
.
Does It Hurt?
  Comfort levels vary from person to person. New topical anesthetics are used for numbing that make the process more comfortable. Some clients even fall asleep. Again, it depends upon your comfort level.
.
Could I have an Allergic Reaction?
  There is little chance of an allergic reaction. We do administer a patch and an allergy test prior to any procedure as a precaution.
.
Is It Safe?
  Yes. The procedure is performed under strict sterilization rules. A well-trained certified technician administers the procedure. All materials are disposed of properly and are never re-used.
.
Is It a Form of Tattoo?
  Yes, but the tattoo goes down to the third (dermal) layer of the skin and uses indigo or pelican inks. Permanent make-up is applied to the second layer of the skin (dermis). These pigments hold true to color and will not turn the skin blue or pink like tattoo dyes will.
.
Can I Go Back to Work Or Out in the Public Immediately After the Procedure?
  Yes. You may have some swelling or puffiness. Your eyes will look like you have had a good cry. This may last only a couple of days. The intensity of your permanent make-up for the first week or so will be much stronger than the final color will be - up to 50% more intense. You will be given instructions on how to care for your procedure to minimize these inconveniences.
