What is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup (also called cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation) is a cosmetic procedure used on the skin to improve or replace lost color. Once the color is applied, you cannot wash it off. Although it is said to be permanent, it wears off gradually over many years. This is done with the use of a needle that applies pigment under the top layer of skin to enhance the natural color or add the desired pigment to skin areas of choice. According to research, about 44% of women feel negative emotions when they don't wear makeup. However, in this busy, fast-paced world, applying makeup every morning can be a hassle. That is why older women, busy women, athletes (especially swimmers) and people who are tired of spending their precious time in front of the mirror often use permanent makeup. With permanent makeup you can look your best all the time. You can start your day with confidence knowing that your face looks perfect.
5 Benifits of Permanent Makeup:
- Save-time and money
This is the most important reason for permanent makeup. If you have an extremely busy schedule and have trouble finding time to apply makeup every morning, permanent makeup is the perfect solution for you. You'll have to make fewer trips to your beauty salon, you won't have to take off your makeup every night, and you'll get to sleep a little longer each morning. Permanent makeup gives you the freedom and time to prioritize the things that are really important to you. Once you get treatments for eyebrows, eyeliner, lip liner, etc., you can avoid the hassle of applying makeup every day. This is a huge benefit for every woman. The money you will spend on a permanent makeup procedure is much less than the cost of traditional makeup products.
- Boost confidence
- Maintenance-free
- Allergy-free
- Defines your natural features
- Infection: There is always a possibility of infection if sterilized needles are not used or if the ink is contaminated. And to prevent infection during 1 week after the procedure, the patient should keep the area clean for aftercare, wash their hands before touching the ointment, avoid swimming in the ocean, lakes or ponds.
- Allergic reaction: Reports of allergy to tattoo pigments are rare. However, when they do occur, they can be particularly troublesome because the pigments can be difficult to remove. Sometimes, people may develop an allergic reaction to permanent makeup. So, a scratch test must be performed behind the ear or on the finger to see if a reaction happens.
- Keloid formation: If your patient is at risk for developing keloids and hypertrophic—scars that grow beyond normal boundaries—he or she is at risk for keloid formation. Keloids can form any time the skin is injured or injured and most commonly occurs after lip procedures and tattoo removal.
- Other reactions: Some bleeding, swelling, and some crusting may occur.
