WHAT IS PERMANENT MAKEUP?

You may have also heard it referred as permanent makeup, semi-permanent makeup, permanent cosmetics, or cosmetic tattooing.
HOW LONG DOES PERMANENT MAKE-UP LAST?
Permanent makeup is not truly permanent as it will fade over time. Factors such as shade of pigmentation used, skin tone, overall health and skin care will determine fading results. Strict adherence to after care instructions and sunscreen must be used. A follow up visit is necessary to implant pigmentation for longest lasting results.
Will the pigment change color or fade at all?
Yes, colors will soften and fade over time. This is desirable for a few reasons as fashion styles change over time and permanent ink like in body tattoos will migrate over time.
When should a follow-up be scheduled?
Three-five weeks after first application. Expect permanent makeup to last between 3-7 years. Optimal lasting results are obtained by scheduling touch-up appointments as needed.
IS THE PROCEDURE PAINFUL?
NO!!! Topical anesthetic is used for all procedures and has absolutely no adverse effects on final results.
How will I look immediately after the procedure?
Expect area to be dark for a few days. Final results will be achieved in about 6 weeks.

AFTERCARE & HEALING SCHEDULE
Day 1-2
Do nothing to your tattoo after the procedure. Aquaphor is applied to the area for you before you leave the clinic. Color will appear darker and bolder in width.
Day 2-7
Wash eyebrows with a mild facial cleanser using clean hands. Let your eyebrows air dry 3-5 minutes before applying ointment. Be careful to fully dry and not trap any moisture between the tattoo and ointment. Exfoliation will begin causing excess pigment surrounding the eyebrow procedure to flake away.
Day 4-7
Apply ointment 5-7 times per day for a minimum of 7 days, longer if needed. Use a cotton tip applicator and massage the ointment into your eyebrow tattoo. Do not double dip the cotton tip applicator. Keeping your eyebrow tattoo moist with ointment will control the amount of drying, which will offer aid to color retention. Eyebrows may itch. This is a normal healing process- do not pick at the treatment area. Pigment will peel off and the eyebrows will appear softer.
AFTER CARE TIPS
*No swimming, saunas or Jacuzzi for the healing period of 7-9 days.
*Do not dye, wax, pluck, or use electrolysis for two weeks in the tattoo area.
*Refrain from hot steamy showers, or long baths for he healing period.
*When taking a shower keep your face away from the shower head.
*Before entering the shower apply a Thin layer of ointment to protect the eyebrow from moisture.
*Do not pick, peel or scratch the area as this could cause scarring and removal of color.
*Refrain from touching your tattoo except for cleansing purposes or applying ointment.
*Touching the open skin with unwashed hands and fingers can cause a secondary infection.
*Refrain from driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles or motorcycles until fully healed.
WHAT IS SMP?
SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION
Scalp micropigmentation is a hair follicle replication procedure which helps individuals who are experiencing hair loss, or who may have scarring on their heads that they wish to cover up. A follicle shaped needle is used to deposit pigment into the top layer of scalp only preventing the migration of pigment. The final result is the look of a shaved head with "hair follicles." Treatments generally take between three-four hours for first session, then around two-three hours for second and third session.
