Q: What is Permanent Cosmetic?
 

A: Permanent Cosmetic, or more correctly micro-pigment implementation, is a natural, mineral pigments impregnated just under the surface of the skin using a small, sterile, micro-needle. My hypo-allergenic pigments contain no added fragrances or emollients and are specifically designed for facial application. This process can last for many years, creating a natural-appearing coloring of the skin. Colors usually appear darker and unnatural for the first few days, but then lighten to a natural look within the following few weeks. You can have the pigment colors soft and natural looking or a bit more dramatic. I can lighten or deepened the color with additional applications.

A: I use disposable one time use sterile needles. For each individual procedure I wear vinyl or latex surgical gloves.

A: A month or two after the initial application, a touch-up visit may be required to perfect the lines or color. There is no additional charge for this visit.
 

Q: Is Permanent Cosmetic really permanent?

A: Most individuals procedures are permanent. However, others may be semi-permanent. A variety of factors may influence the longevity of Permanent Cosmetic.

Q: How do I care for my Permanent Cosmetic?

A: Ultra-violate exposure from sun or tanning booths, various drugs, excessively dry skin, and smoking are all factors that could cause your Permanent Cosmetic to fade. Alpha- hydroxie, retin-a, and glycolic acid must be kept away from treated areas. Use of these kinds of substances may require additional maintenance in years to come.

Sun block on eyebrows, sunglasses for eyeliner, and SPF 15 or higher on lips will greatly prolong the effective life of these procedures.
