Permanent cosmetic makeup is a state of the art form of cosmetic tattooing. The specialized techniques used for permanent cosmetics are often referred to as "micropigmentation", "micropigment implantation" or "dermagraphics". The cosmetic implantation technique deposits tiny individual implants of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin.

Permanent cosmetics procedures are performed using various machines and methods.  These procedures are a process which includes the initial consultation, initial application of pigment, and usually one follow up visit for adjusting the shape and color or density of the pigment.                                    

• EVERYONE, FROM THE YOUNG TO THE ELDERLY, WHO DESIRES A SOFT AND NATURAL ENHANCEMENT TO THEIR APPEARANCE
• PHYSICALLY ACTIVE people who want to look their best throughout activities such as swimming, hiking, biking, tennis, aerobics, and don't want to worry about "sweating off" or reapplying cosmetics.
• ALLERGIES and SENSITIVE SKIN-these people often can't wear other cosmetics.
• VISION IMPAIRED people who have difficulty applying their cosmetics.
• MOTOR IMPAIRED, including arthritics, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke survivors, and those with unsteady hands who cannot apply their own makeup.
• WOMEN who want to look their best all the time, even when they wake up.
• MOTHERS and other busy professionals who DON'T HAVE TIME for makeup.
• POST SURGICAL/INJURY, those seeking reconstruction of areolas after surgery; camouflage of scars from burns, surgery, accidents or injuries; redefinition of facial features.
• ALOPECIA areata or universalis sufferers who have lost some or all of their facial hair, including eyebrows and/or eyelashes.
• CHEMOTHERAPY recipients with full or partial hair loss.

• Technically, permanent cosmetics procedures are considered permanent because the color is implanted into the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo, fading does occur, requiring periodic maintenance.
• The initial procedure will generally take approximately 1 1/2 to 2  hours. Follow up procedures usually do not require as much time as the initial procedure.
• Permanent cosmetics procedures are of a skin invasive nature and therefore you may experience some discomfort. This may vary according to each individual's pain threshold and the skills of the technician performing the service.  There are different methods available to help with pain management, including various topical anesthetic ointments and topical desensitizing products.
• Documented allergic reactions to permanent cosmetic procedures are extremely rare. It should be understood that an allergic reaction could occur at any point in time.
• REMEMBER: Although the procedure is considered permanent, these procedures do have flexibility in changing color and shape. Colors will appear darker immediately following the procedure but will soften and lighten during the healing process, which takes approximately a week or longer; the healing time is different for each individual and for different procedures. Color on the skin may change somewhat during the healing process as well, as it combines with the individual's skin tone.
