Permanent Cosmetics
- Eyebrow Enhancement
- Lip Liner/Lip Color
- Beauty Marks
- Corrective/Repair Work –
Unfortunately, not all procedures are conducted by individuals proficient at placing pigment into the skin. Corrective services require a consultation to determine the best course of action. Whether the color is wrong, has faded prematurely, or just doesn’t quite look how you’d like we can sit down, analyze your individual needs, and decide on the best course of action to correct your procedure. - Areola Re-pigmentation –
Cosmetic tattooing with flesh-colored pigments can be utilized to reconstruct the aesthetic appearance of the nipple-areola complex after reconstructive surgery, invasive medical treatments, aging, or other breast augmentation procedures that have affected the appearance, size, or color of the areola. This procedure usually takes 3-4 visits to obtain the final result but is less invasive than old methods of areola reconstruction which included skin grafting. - Scar Camouflage –
Pigment can be added to light areas. Even with a good match, some differences may still be noticeable. For hyper-pigmentation (dark spots) we are not able to achieve good results for camouflage, so do not offer it as a service. For this condition, we suggest seeing a dermatologist for lightening options or consider a traditional tattoo as a cover. - Eyebrows
Brows should have been arched the way you prefer with makeup or by professional waxing/threading upon your arrival. - Lipliner / Lip Color
For those with a history of cold sores, a course of the appropriate anti-viral medication is mandatory for the procedure. Lips will be tender and swollen, be gentle and drink through a straw the first day. - Scar Camouflage & Post Surgical Repigmentation
Scars should be at least one year old. For re-pigmentation, the skin should have fully recovered from surgery. Both require a consultation. - Repair Work
Unfortunately, not all procedures are conducted by individuals proficient at placing pigment into the skin. Corrective services require a consultation to determine the best course of action.
Be prepared for the color intensity of your procedure to be significantly larger, sharper, brighter, or darker than what is expected for the final outcome. It will take time for this transition based on how quickly the outer layer of your skin exfoliates.
The color will fade from its original hue as it heals. Touch-up appointments may be necessary to achieve the desired color.
Since delicate skin or sensitive areas may swell slightly or redden, some clients feel it’s best not to make any social plans for a day or two following the procedure. Makeup, stress, and travel may adversely affect healing.
For any facial work a hat, visor, or dark glasses should be worn to provide protection from the sun.
Any tweezing or waxing should be done at least 48 hours prior to the procedure; electrolysis no less than 5 days before. Do not resume any method of hair removal for at least two weeks.
Any eyelash or eyebrow tinting or eyelash curling should be done no sooner than 48 hours before or two weeks after the procedure.
If you are contemplating cosmetic surgery, laser peels, laser hair removal, botox, collagen treatments, lip augmentation or implant surgery such procedures may affect or alter permanent cosmetics. These procedures should be completed BEFORE permanent cosmetics are applied.
Wear your normal makeup and bring your lip or brow pencils to the office on the day of the procedure.
