Permanent Makeup

Beauty Treatment

Permanent Makeup is a procedure in which a pigment, a special mineral-based dye designed specifically for permanent make-up, is injected into the skin.

The master injects the pigment into the very top layers of the skin. The depth is not more than 0.8-1 mm. This allows for a shorter effect duration. Over time, the pigment is gradually dissolved, fade, and over time, and is broken down by the body and removed naturally. As a result, you get a “long-lasting” make-up that accurately enhances your features.

There are several permanent makeup techniques depending on the area affected.

Lips:

Contouring. Ideal for middle-aged ladies. The make-up corrects a chapped lip shape. Visually, the lips look outlined with a pencil;
Contour with Outline. A permanent smudge gives lips a defined and chic contour and a vibrant colour. A smudged lipstick effect that visually adds volume to the lips;
Naturale. This is a technique that uses natural and organic ingredients. It’s a slight correction that’s hard to see;
Light kajal. Suitable for perfectly shaped lips. A light pigment is injected into the contour of the lips, giving extra volume;
Watercolour. A subtle natural pigment that blends over the entire lip without a defined contour;
Permanent Lipstick. In this case, the pigment is chosen most carefully as it completely fills the lip area;
3D technique. Considered to be the most sophisticated type of permanent. It masks an uneven asymmetric lip shape, gives the desired volume and makes the natural colour more lush. The procedure takes a long time, as it is done in several sessions using several colours.

Eyebrows:

Hair method. The hairs are drawn one by one or in bunches with strokes of pigment.
Powder method. The pigment is injected in dots, creating a shadow effect.
A mixed technique is a combination of the powder and hair techniques.
Nano spraying. In this case, a clear contour is absent, and the pigment itself gives the desired volume and makes the colour brighter;
Ombré. Using pigment in several shades and softly shading, the eyebrows are drawn with lighter colours at the bridge of the nose and darker ones at the tips.

Eyes:

Arrow. Dye is applied as a solid liner in different lengths and thicknesses.
Inter eyeliner. Pigment is applied between the eyelashes, giving a dramatic look.
Stouche. Smoky eye effect is made by spotting the pigment in different intensities.

Dermopigmentation

is a way of correcting permanent or temporary aesthetic skin imperfections through shallow permanent make-up.

Nipple colour restoration and postoperative scarring of the nipple areola (one of the most popular areas for camouflage)
Vitiligo correction;
Concealment of shallow wrinkles;
Concealment of small chemical burns;
Disguise scars and scars (scars after acne, scars after liposuction, scars near the ears and in the scalp resulting from a facelift);
Camouflage of stretch marks

Duration:

Permanent make-up (eyebrows, eyelids, lips) last from 1 to 3 years. How long the PM lasts in the skin depends on many factors:

The immune system (if person is rarely ill, the immune system works well – it eliminates the pigment faster);
Skin type (oily skin retains less permanent than dry skin)
Age (the older the person, the longer the PM lasts)
Pigment colour (lighter shades last less, brighter shades last longer);
Sun/tanning (UVA rays have negative effect on permanent make up, tanning requires use of tattoo/permanent protection sticks, sun protection SPF 30, 50);
The lifestyle (trainings, swimming pool, sauna, cosmetic treatments such as peels, cleansing, etc., all contribute to the fast release of the pigment).

PM is not for:

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
Illnesses associated with a significant reduction in blood clotting
Severe somatic diseases
Acute inflammatory diseases
Psychiatric disorders
Epilepsy
Hepatitis, HIV, AIDS
Pregnancy
Lactation period

Aftercare:

For permanent make-up to last longer, careful maintenance and regular colour corrections are essential:

Self-removal or scratching, as well as any mechanical damage to the crusts formed after the procedure can cause the pigment to disappear;
Do not use a sunbed, spa, swimming pool or sauna for a fortnight;
No make-up should be used for the healing period
To preserve the pigment long time in the sun, sunblock should be used;
During the first period of the permanent make-up treatment, it is worth taking an antiviral drug prescribed by the cosmetician;
For skin care of the treated areas it is necessary to use products that are recommended by your cosmetician;
A correction of the pigmentation should be done, which depends on the individual skin type. In most cases the first correction takes place after one month and the next one after one year.
To avoid discolouring the pigment during the first treatment, avoid products containing hydrogen peroxide and alcohol.

FAQ

How permanent makeup is done?
