Permanent Makeup helps give back what time has taken away and saves you
precious time you normally spend "putting on your face". You can save
countless hours in a single year that were formerly spent struggling to
draw eyebrows evenly or eyeliner half-way straight.that's a lot of extra
free time! Plus imagine the money you will save not buying expensive
cosmetics that rub off, smear, smudge and disappear during the day.
WHAT IS MICROPIGMENTATION?
 Permanent makeup is the art and science of implanting color into your skin.
It is putting the right color in the right place so you can look better
naturally. Specialized instruments allow your micropigmentation
professional to place color into the layer of skin known as dermis. Because
the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis, is always shedding and renewing
itself, you are looking at the color through a thin veil of skin. When the
procedure is completed, the color will appear darker than the final result.
This is because the color is in BOTH the epidermis and the dermis. The
color in the top layer will flake off during the healing process lightening
the overall effect. It is a cosmetic invasive procedure that requires
skill, experience and cooperation from your permanent makeup professional,
April Vier.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECOVER?
You will look like you have had a good cry for several hours following
eyeliner. It is advised to apply cold packs (not ice) for 10 minutes at a
time during these first few hours. Also, it is important to wear sunglasses
as your eyes may be temporarily sensitive to light. Eyebrow procedures have
the least swelling. Lip color often involves temporary swelling. You must
let your micropigmentation professional know if you have a history of fever
blisters so medication can be prescribed.
HOW LONG WILL MY MAKEUP LAST?
 Micropigmentation lasts a long time but not forever. As you become
accustomed to your new makeup it's not uncommon to want more. You will want
to freshen up your new makeup every couple of years. The darker the color
the longer it will stay unchanged in your skin. Natural, delicate colors
are oftentimes more vulnerable to the effects of sun, swimming and
breakdown by the body's natural response.
I AM AFRAID OF PAIN . . . DO THE PROCEDURES HURT?
Topical anesthetics have been developed especially for permanent makeup
procedures. These creams and gels are applied to the desired area before
and during the procedure to assure you of the most comfortable experience
possible. Some people describe the sensation as a "tingling" feeling,
however most people still experience some discomfort, especially with lip
color procedures. For those who prefer, local anesthesia and optional
sedation are available.
 How much pain? On a scale of 1-10, you will usually be somewhere between
0-3. Rarely is anything stronger than Tylenol necessary for the discomfort
and you won't have to miss work or take time off to recover. Because this
is a cosmetic invasive procedure, there are risks as well as benefits.
These include infection, allergic reaction, misplaced color, scaring,
undesired result or color. Please ask questions!
