Permanent cosmetic procedures are performed using various devices including traditional tattoo machines amongst other specialized devices. First a client consultation will be performed to evaluate goals and answer questions. The micro pigmentation process usually consists of two to three visits to achieve the desired level of pigmentation, consistency, color and placement. 

Anyone who is 18 years or older and has normal ability to heal from minor wounds or skin abrasion can benefit from permanent cosmetics. Special consideration under 18 years old for scaring or hair loss with parents present. Interest in this service ranges from people who desire a natural enhancement to their appearance to those allergic or have sensitivities to traditional makeup. It is also beneficial for people who are active in sports like swimming, hiking, biking, tennis, aerobics, etc. In these cases, you won’t have to worry about makeup running off from sweat or having to reapply makeup multiple times a day.  

Permanent makeup is especially valuable to people who have difficulty applying their cosmetics from visual and dexterity-related conditions such as macular degeneration,  cataracts, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, MS, and stroke survivors.

These procedures are considered permanent as they don’t wash off, however any applied pigment can fade over time (generally about 2 years) and often requires periodic maintenance referred to as color re-enhancement or color refreshing. Also, during a refresh consult, discussion for new or modified preferences can be implemented.
