WHAT IS PERMANENT MAKEUP?

Permanent makeup is the process of implanting tiny micro-pigments of color into the dermal area of the skin.  It can also be referred to as "micropigmentation, dermapigmentation, or cosmetic tattooing."  It is a "natural looking" alternative to conventional cosmetics.  Clients will enjoy the following benefits:

*  The convenience of more time in their lives
*  Elimination of allergic reations to traditional cosmetics
*  No more frustration with appyling makeup
*  Natural looking makeup that will last without it smudging or smearing
*  More youthful appearance

IS IT SAFE?

She uses a 100% single-use, disposable, acupuncture-grade, stainless steel needle, and complies with all OSHA standards.

DOES IT HURT?

During the procedure, there is very little, if any, discomfort.  Many clients describe it as a tickling sensation.  Kathleen has been trained in the proper use of topical anesthetics by Dr. Linda Dixon, Anesthesiologist and President of the American Academy of Micro-pigmentation, of which Kathleen is a member.

HOW LONG DOES A PROCEDURE TAKE?

A procedure usually takes 2 hours.

HOW LONG DOES PERMANENT MAKEUP LAST?

Generally speaking, Permanent Makeup will last between 2 - 7 years before it needs refreshing.  Every person is different, and the longevity of the Permanent Makeup is dependent upon a number of factors, including:  age, skin type, metabolism, lifestyle, and color choice.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO HEAL?

For approximately 5 - 7 days after your procedure, you will need to apply a  thin layer of "Aquaphor" ointment  to the surface of the skin.  The colors will appear darker immediately following the procedure.  The colors will soften and lighten 3 - 4 shades after the first week.  In Lip procedures, the color may go away temporarily and blossom again after about 21 days.
