Permanent makeup

The opportunity to look bright and well-groomed at any time of the day, regardless of what you are doing and how you feel, is attracting increased attention from more and more women to permanent makeup (micropigmentation). The successful results of this procedure have many advantages - natural beauty is emphasized thanks to lines that correct the shape of the lips, eyebrows, eyes and even nipples. And these lines are preserved when visiting the pool, sauna and on a long-awaited seaside vacation. In the morning, a woman frees up time previously spent on daily makeup, and her facial skin does not suffer from constant exposure to cosmetics, many of which can cause allergies.

In addition to aesthetic ones, there are also medical indications for permanent makeup - these are congenital and acquired defects of the skin of the face and body (cleft lip, loss of eyebrows and eyelashes, facial injuries, consequences of reconstructive plastic surgery. Very often, surgeons recommend micropigmentation after plastic resection of the mammary gland for restoration of the shape and color of the areola).

The permanent makeup procedure itself consists of injecting a special dye into the upper layers of the skin along a pre-drawn contour using a needle. The inks used for tattooing are mineral or organic based and do not cause allergic reactions. Unlike a regular tattoo, the coloring pigment is not injected so deeply, without damaging the blood vessels and nerve endings. The tattoo procedure lasts approximately 1 hour and does not cause any discomfort, since before this an anesthetic gel is applied to the treated areas. The procedure is performed under conditions of absolute sterility, using disposable needles and other disposable consumables.

Immediately after the procedure, the specialist applies a special cream to the affected area, which has a bactericidal effect and relieves inflammation and irritation.

After the permanent makeup procedure, during the first day it is recommended to rinse the tattoo area with purified cool water to avoid the formation of a thick crust. As a last resort, if dryness occurs, you can use hygienic lipstick. You should start using products that accelerate skin regeneration from the second day. After this, it is recommended to apply a protective layer of chapstick or sunscreen. During the healing process, direct exposure to ultraviolet rays and any steaming procedures (bath, sauna, cosmetic procedures) is excluded. You cannot remove the crust yourself. Final healing occurs after 3-4 weeks.

In permanent makeup, a large number of pigment colors are used, which can also be mixed, so there are practically no restrictions in the choice of color.

After applying permanent makeup, the pigment colors all layers of the dermis much brighter than the final result. During the healing process, the color of the pigment darkens due to the formed protective capsule. After healing is complete, permanent makeup becomes lighter and more matte. Taking into account the color and density of your skin, the specialist selects the desired pigment color to achieve the desired result.

When choosing the main lines of makeup, experts advise limiting yourself to the minimum that will be appropriate for any occasion, and to which, if desired, you can always add something for holiday makeup:

After eyebrow correction using permanent makeup, they look natural. During the procedure, small thin strokes are applied within the intended contour. In this case, specially developed eyebrow pigments are used, based on natural hair colors. Permanent makeup is done in the upper layers of the skin and does not damage the hair follicles.
On the upper eyelid, you can make a neat arrow or create a natural effect of thick eyelashes by slightly shading the line drawn at the base of the eyelashes. The procedure allows you to correct the shape of the eyes and significantly reduce the amount of cosmetics used, thereby slowing down the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, which can be caused by the daily use of decorative products.
With the help of permanent makeup, you can achieve optical enlargement of your lips, emphasize their shape, and fill them with color. The procedure also helps women who lose their natural lip contour with age or frequent herpes.
Permanent makeup also allows you to make new moles, tint your own, shade scars, and paint on pigment spots with flesh color.

Permanent makeup is a very delicate and painstaking work. The most difficult and important thing in the permanent makeup procedure is the correct application technique. This concept includes: the required depth of pigment application, the ideal character of the lines and the uniformity of coloring. The main thing, of course, is the depth of the puncture, which is controlled only by the master’s hand. If the injection is not deep enough, the pigment is not properly fixed in the skin, and after the crust falls off and the epidermis is completely restored, either there is no paint left at all, or its color will be very light, and the resulting effect is unstable. In this case, a repeat procedure will correct the situation.

But there are much more problems if the skin is damaged too deeply. Regardless of the color of the pigment itself, if the needle penetrates too deeply, there is a high risk of obtaining an undesirable shade (even dark blue and black-blue), which will last much longer than the color of the pigment itself. At the same time, a scar may form at the site of permanent makeup.

The causes of such complications may be poor quality of the coloring composition, the device used and insufficient skill of the cosmetologist. Therefore, it is worth taking the time to find a specialist who would take the time to train and practice the acquired skills. It’s also a good idea to look at the results of the work of those who have already been in his hands.

There are no contraindications for permanent makeup. But it is not recommended to perform the procedure in case of exacerbation of skin diseases in the area of tattooing, several days before and during menstruation, as well as after taking blood-thinning drugs and alcohol.

The effect of permanent makeup lasts for approximately 3-5 years. The duration depends on the structure of the skin, the rate of its renewal, and solar radiation. External influences cause colors to fade and disappear over time. In this case, a repeated permanent makeup procedure can help, which will restore your confidence in your indelible attractiveness.
