“It’s a wonderful feeling when we always look our best!”
Permanent Cosmetics have helped many clients to feel good about themselves. It is a wonderful feeling to get out of bed, look into the mirror and like what you see. “When we look better, we feel better. It’s just a fact of life.” And you are never too old to make a positive change in your appearance. Age has nothing to do with feeling good about yourself. Our clients range from very young to the elderly. My mother, God bless her, is a beautiful woman. She always wants to look her best and has a great attitude about herself. Beauty is ageless. If you feel good about yourself, you shine to others. Permanent Cosmetics give each client the potential to be beautiful and help you develop your own personal style. This information gives you a better understanding of the procedures and what you can expect.
The Frames for Your Face
Whether your brows are sparse, thin, too short, or shapeless, you can enhance and reshape them with permanent cosmetics. They can look just like your pencil with a soft filled in effect or with hair strokes to make it look like more hairs, thus creating a natural, fuller look. These effects are quite pleasing and often it is difficult to tell that permanent cosmetics have been applied.
- It is recommended, when doing an eyebrow procedure, to remove all unwanted hair 48 hours prior to treatment. This can be done by tweezing or waxing. Remember, the more brow hairs the more natural the finished outcome. Don’t over-pluck!
The Eyes Are Called the Windows of Our
Soul
The eyes are called the windows of our soul. They give expression and are always a focal point. Some clients like a warm softer look when other clients prefer to make a dramatic statement. Whatever your preference, eyeliner is a must. Every client has a different shape to their eyes. Eye liner makes the white of the eyes look whiter and clearer, makes the lashes look thicker and Eye Liner creates a sexy and charming appearance.
Eyes are the windows to your soul. Natural or dramatic, the
choice is yours.
Full, Luscious, and Sensual
Lips can be made fuller, smaller, and even out of uneven lip line, or just enhance what you have naturally. Any color can be used from very natural to dramatic. We can create a more pleasing shape and enhance the shape of the bow. You can say goodbye to waking up with a pale face. Most lip colors chosen are soft shades that compliment your skin tone. When adding a gloss over your color it seems to get more intense. Remember you can always apply a lipstick color in any shade for a different look. Our permanent cosmetics are applied under the skin, so any color you put over them will work. The added benefit is that it never seems to fade away. Having your lips done is a win win situation.
Can I Cover A Scar?
Absolutely! Skin camouflaging and areola re-pigmentation are other important elements of permanent cosmetic application. Areola re- pigmentation is a procedure used for the mastectomy patient who has had reconstructive surgery. This same type of procedure also can be used to camouflage the scars caused from breast implant surgery. People with other kind of scars on their body can also benefit from permanent cosmetics. Beautiful results can be obtained for clients with face lift scars, skin cancer scars, accident scars, burn victims, and uneven pigmentation.

Allergic reactions to permanent cosmetics
are very rare. Tattoos have been performed for thousands of
years and there are very few cases reported of reaction. The

nationwide. If you are concerned you should discuss this with
your technician. |

during permanent cosmetic application has come a long way.
Today's over the counter topicals used during application make
the procedures very tolerable, most clients feeling just
vibrations while others say they feel nothing at all. The
apprehensive client can request an oral pain medication or
relaxant from a physician. Whatever method used, clients will
agree that the results are definitely worth it. Most clients
will come for one procedure and eventually have others. |
|

choose? |
| A: |
There is a right color for everyone. Your
natural skin, eye and hair colors are taken into
consideration. A soft, natural color is preferred. The color
choices are endless-for example, soft, natural shades, as well
as dark reds and plums are available for lips. Endless Shades
are also available for blondes, brunettes and for those
natural redheads. Any color can be made to compliment your
coloring. |

work? |

No, there is minimum swelling and redness.
Ice is used to reduce swelling and an antibiotic or a healing
ointment is used for several days. |
|
Can I wear makeup after the
procedure is done? |
| A: |
It is recommended that you wear no mascara
if eye color has been applied to your eyes, and no lipstick if
your lips are colored. The procedure site needs to heal for
about seven to ten days. |
|
What about
sterilization? |
| A: |
Regardless of the equipment used, the
important issue of sterilization remains. Machines must be
broken down and cleaned to prevent any cross-contamination.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued
guidelines that technicians must follow. All needs in
permanent cosmetic applications procedures are single-use and
must be disposed of in bio-hazard containers Needles are never
re-used, even on the same client. Machine parts must be
autoclaves to render totally sterile or disposed of after use.
These are the only acceptable forms of sterilization. |

eyebrows more natural than you would ever think was
possible. |

waking up and looking great twenty-four hours a day. Whether
your 20 or 90 years old, it's a great feeling when you always
look your best. It helps build our inner self and gives is a
sense of well-being. |
