Permanent make-up is a simple non-surgical method which provides lasting, maintenance-free accents to define the facial features. It is used to enhance or create the look of eyebrows, eyeliner, and lipstick.

For medical purposes, it can add color to match the skin for scar revision, match the hair to camouflage hair loss, enhance the lips for cleft lip repair, or to create the look of a pigmented areola on the breast for women that have had a mastectomy.

All permanent make-up procedures will initially appear darker for a few days than the subsequently healed version for three main reasons:

Skin Turnover - To apply pigment beneath the surface of the skin, it's necessary to implant the pigment through the top layers of the skin know as the epidermis. As new cells are produced, the epidermis collects and then sheds the old skin cells. During this exfoliation process, the tiny particles of pigment that are trapped in the skin are also released. The this process completes, the pigment in the skin will remain. As a result, the pigment is less dense and the healed area will be lighter and natural looking.
Skin Characteristics - Thicker skin with more oil glands and pores retains more pigment than thinner skin. Of the three most commonly performed procedures, eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip color, lips produce the most dramatic pigment color changes. The lips do not contain pores or oil glands and normally 50% to 70% of the applied pigment is exfoliated within three to four days after the initial procedure. The appearance of pigment lightening in the eyebrow and eyeliner areas is less noticeable since only 15% to 25% of the pigment is shed.
Wound Healing - Any blood and inflammation produced by the procedure can make the permanent cosmetics appear darker initially. As the blood flakes off or is washed off, and the inflammation subsides, the result will be a lighter appearing color.
