The techniques used for permanent cosmetics in the eyebrow and lip areas fade with a purpose. This allows the client to periodically "refresh their look" as they age or their styles change.

The pigment particles DO stay in the skin permanently, which is why it is called "permanent makeup."

In many other countries, because the eyebrows do not stay the same from day one and maintenance is required, they call it "semi-permanent." The pigment used within the eyelashes is much more permanent because of the color formulation, and lip colors are in the middle. Pigment longevity is not an exact science, as many factors can increase or decrease longevity. The client is never "locked" into continuing services with their permanent cosmetics. They can allow them to fade away and use the gradually disappearing pigment as a guide for their pencil with a perfectly symmetrical shape. Alternatively, you can plan on coming for another service every one to four years to brighten them up or alter your shape.

An MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a medical imaging technique to visualize internal structures and diagnose illnesses. A magnetic field scans and takes very detailed pictures of one's internal organs. Many brands of semi-permanent cosmetic pigment contain iron oxide, a metal that can be drawn to a magnet. There are a small number of reported cases of discomfort around the eyes from those wearing permanent cosmetics while undergoing an MRI. However, test studies have confirmed that the iron particles in pigment are too microscopic to react as actual metals. Metal teeth fillings are safe. The same is true of our cosmetics.

The healing time for permanent makeup (PMU) varies depending on the area treated, the individual’s skin type, and how well they follow aftercare instructions. However, with proper care, permanent makeup typically takes about 6-8 weeks to fully heal and show the final results. While the surface of the skin may heal quickly, the underlying tissue and pigment can take several weeks to fully settle and stabilize.
