About Face Permanent Cosmetics

One of the most popular questions asked about Permanent Cosmetics is

“Will I really look like myself?”

The answer is “Yes, but only better.”

The truth is that Permanent Cosmetics help replenish what time has taken away. As you know, with age comes loss of pigment in our hair. Do you know that we also lose pigment in our eyes and skin? Have you noticed that certain colors, like black, don’t look so well as they did a few years ago? Also due to age-related hormonal changes such as estrogen loss, the eyelashes thin, and your upper lip disappears.

“Why does Permanent Makeup help you to look younger?”

Permanent makeup performed by an experienced, certified professional can often do more for your appearance than cosmetic surgery. Permanent Cosmetics can

replenish the sparkle in your eyes by a procedure called an eyelash enhancement. The technician strategically places a dot of color in between each eyelash, giving the lashes a fuller more youthful appearance. Permanent lip liner and color can re-define the vermillion border of the lip and give the lips a fuller, plumper appearance.

The most dramatic age-related facial change is on the eyebrows. As women age, their eyebrows tend to thin and sometimes almost disappear. Permanent Makeup can add natural hair strokes and a defined arch, which will in most cases erase as much as ten years off your appearance.

“What Paramedical Techniques are available?”

 While we are discussing the rejuvenative properties of Permanent Cosmetics, it is important that men and women are aware of the healing effects of paramedical procedural techniques which are now also available. Often the most gratifying procedure to most practitioners is to re- pigment or restore the areola after a mastectomy. In this procedure, the actual areola is created in shape and color to match the original. After the procedure, most people comment that they feel “whole again.” This experience may be the most healing for both the practitioner and client.

 What Camouflage techniques are available?

 Camouflage applied by an experienced technician can virtually “erase” scars on the body or restore the confidence of a person who suffers from skin afflictions such as Alopecia or Veritiligo

If you are interested and feel that you may be a candidate for Permanent Cosmetic and would like to know more, the first step is a consultation. The consultation is simply an educational process and the first interaction between the client and practitioner. The actual application of Permanent Cosmetics usually happens four days to a week later.
