Permanent Makeup

Cosmetic tattooing, or micropigmentation, is permanent makeup that can improve your appearance and enhance your natural features. It can be as subtle or as dramatic as you desire. Although the process is permanent, colour can be modified or changed according to personal taste or fashion, or to touch up faded areas. Cosmetic tattooing is ideal if you lead an active lifestyle or find it difficult to apply your own makeup. Parts of the face that are commonly tattooed to emphasise natural features are the eyebrows, eyeliner, lip liner, the lips, and the cheeks.

The Permanent Makeup Procedure

Cosmetic tattooing involves placing natural colour pigments just below the dermis of your skin. A skilled practitioner uses a hand-held implanter to regulate the depth of the pigment deposit. This advanced technique is medically proven and safe. Treatment time will depend on what you are having done. Because the treatment can be painful, local and topical anaesthetics may be used.

Recovery after Permanent Makeup

You may experience some swelling and tenderness for a few days. In most cases, you will not need to take time off work. Even though the process is permanent, colour can be modified or changed. The results will last for many years and any faded areas can be touched up.
