Permanent Make-Up
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.
