Permanent Makeup

Permanent makeup is a specialized cosmetic procedure that uses tattoos to create enhancing colors, patterns, and designs on the face, lips, and eyelids that resemble makeup. Likewise, it can be used to create artificial eyebrows to replace those lost through age, diseases such as alopecia, chemotherapy, or a genetic disturbance. The technique involves injecting natural pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. Permanent makeup addresses concerns such as thin eyebrows, pale lips, and uneven skin tones, offering long-lasting solutions that eliminate the need to apply makeup daily.

The Art of Permanent Makeup

Permanent makeup is suited for individuals who seek a low-maintenance beauty routine, those with physical limitations that make applying makeup challenging, and those with allergic reactions to traditional makeup. The results are visible immediately, though complete color settling and healing can take a few weeks. Once the initial healing is complete, touch-ups might be needed every few years to maintain the vibrancy of the color. It can be an ideal solution for those interested in enhancing their natural features with minimal effort each day. Book an appointment with Meraki Wellness and Med Spa for more information about permanent makeup.

Areas of treatment include

  • Lip Blushing: This treatment enhances the natural color and shape of the lips, giving them a boost of tone and the illusion of fullness. Permanent makeup pigment is carefully applied to add subtle color and define the lip borders.
  • Lash Lift and Lash Lamination: These treatments create the appearance of thicker and more curled eyelashes. Permanent makeup techniques are not used here; lashes are treated with a lifting solution and then set in a curled position, enhancing the natural lash line.
  • Brow Tint: This involves applying semi-permanent dye to enhance, shape, and define the eyebrows. The tint aligns with the natural eyebrow color to fill in sparseness and create a fuller look without daily makeup.
  • Permanent Eyebrows: Often referred to as microblading or eyebrow tattooing, this technique uses fine deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments to produce the appearance of hair in the eyebrow region. It fills in thin eyebrows, defines shape, and enhances facial symmetry.

FAQ's

Good candidates for permanent makeup include those with busy lifestyles, limited vision or mobility, or skin sensitivities to traditional cosmetics. It’s also beneficial for those seeking consistent beauty enhancement.

The results are immediately visible, though the full depth of color may take a few weeks to stabilize once any mild swelling and healing are complete.

Permanent makeup typically lasts several years, but exposure to the sun and some skincare products can fade the pigments faster. Maintaining the desired look requires periodic touch-ups.

Downtime is minimal after a permanent makeup session, and most activities resume immediately. Some temporary swelling or redness might occur. However, if aftercare instructions are not followed properly, infections can occur.

Before receiving permanent makeup, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications to reduce bruising. Post-treatment, keep the area clean, avoid touching, and apply any prescribed ointments to aid healing.

To reduce discomfort, a topical anesthetic is applied. The specialist then uses a needle to implant pigment into the skin. Sessions typically last one to two hours, depending on the treated area.
