PERMANENT MAKEUP 

Permanent makeup (also known as micropigmentation, cosmetic tattooing, or PMU) is a cosmetic procedure where pigments are implanted into the upper layer of the skin to enhance facial features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. It’s similar to traditional tattooing but uses different techniques, equipment, and pigments tailored for delicate facial work.

Common Types of Permanent Makeup:

Microblading (Eyebrows):

  • Semi-permanent technique using fine blades to create hair-like strokes.
  • Ideal for filling in sparse brows or reshaping.

Eyeliner Tattoo:

  • Pigment is applied along the lash line to define the eyes.
  • Can be subtle (lash enhancement) or more dramatic.

Lip Blushing:

  • Adds color and shape to the lips for a fuller, more defined look.
  • Can correct uneven lip tone or add a natural tint.

Areola Restoration & Scar Camouflage:

  • Often used after breast surgery or to cover up scars and skin imperfections.

How Long Does It Last?

  • Semi-permanent: Most treatments last between 1 to 5 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, pigment color, and aftercare.
  • Touch-ups are usually needed to maintain color and shape.

Benefits:

  • Saves time on daily makeup routines.
  • Helps people with makeup allergies, unsteady hands, or vision impairments.
  • Enhances natural features in a subtle or dramatic way.

Risks:

  • Possible infection, allergic reactions, or pigment migration.
  • Results may fade unevenly or change color over time.
  • Removal can be difficult and costly.
