What is Permanent Makeup?
-
Also known as micropigmentation, permanent makeup is a form of tattooing used to enhance facial features such as eyes, brows and lips, according to LeMor Permanent Cosmetics. Paramedical techniques allow people with scarring or pigmentation to restore their features to a more natural appearance.
How It Works
-
A professional beautician uses a needle tool to implant tiny drops of pigment in the dermis tissue of the skin, resulting in immediate color and permanence, according to LeMor. The procedure is noninvasive.
-
Before: Pre-Procedure
-
According to Permanent Cosmetic Professionals, a technician should use a local anesthetic before inserting the needle for the discomfort associated with eyebrow procedures. There are over-the-counter topical anesthetics or prescription injectable formulas.
Before: Choose Shape
-
It's not necessary to shave eyebrows before the procedure as needles go in and around eyebrow hair, says Aura of Beauty. The tattoo can follow the current eyebrow shape or it can be shaved and redrawn to a new one, then tattooed over. You are able to choose a pigment color for eyebrows.
After: Results
-
Anesthesia containing epinephrine can help limit swelling after the procedure, according to the SPCP. The eyebrow color can be changed later to match a new hair color. The tattoo is resistant to smudging but can still fade over time, requiring an enhancement.
