What is Permanent Makeup?
Well…maybe the term “permanent” can be somewhat misleading; in other countries it is referred to as “semi-permanent”, considering it fades over time. Permanent cosmetic makeup is cosmetic tattooing. It is also referred to as “ micropigmentation”. Permanent cosmetic procedures are a process and two applications of color are needed before the procedures are considered complete. There are some distinguishing differences between permanent makeup and body art tattoos. The inks used for body art have a much higher metal content and are composed of larger molecules/particle size that cosmetic pigments lack. The facial tissue consists of six layers in the epidermis and two layers in the dermis. Pigments are implanted in the top layers of the epidermis down to the dermal layer, as the epidermis exfoliates the color exfoliates as well. Tattoo inks can cause migration and that is why most technicians in the permanent cosmetic industry use pigments that are specifically formulated for use on the facial tissue. Also, permanent cosmetic pigments are designed to compliment undertones in the skin producing a more natural result. Our trademark at Advanced Dermagraphics is “Natural Looking” Permanent Makeup.
