PERMANENT VS.
SEMI-PERMANENT MAKEUP
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Semi-Permanent or Permanent makeup has increased in popularity due to the dramatic improvement in training, techniques, tools, and products offering long-lasting and natural results; a virtually pain-free procedure that is low maintenance with no downtime. It is helpful to people who are allergic to conventional cosmetics, those with visual impairment, watery eyes, and those with unsteady or arthritic hands that have difficulty applying makeup.
Both are a form of micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing using a single-use sterile needle and specially formulated pigment to deposit color into the skin in order to enhance facial features such as eyebrows, eyes, lips, just to name a few.
Semi-Permanent Makeup:
- Implants pigment into the superficial layer of the skin using a single prong needle.
- Can last between 1-5 years. Touch-ups are necessary to maintain color vibrancy and shape definition.
-Pigment will fade over time as your skin naturally exfoliates.
Permanent Makeup:
- Implantation of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin, which is a deeper level causing more pain, potential scarring, and trauma.
-Can last 5-10 years. The results are harsh and irreversible.
-Due to the body's chemistry there is a high chance of pigment changing color over time.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE?
Unfortunately, not all clients are good candidates for permanent makeup due to the existence of certain contraindicated skin conditions or pre-existing medical conditions. If you have a contraindicated skin condition you may not retain color well and thus may not be entirely satisfied with your outcome.
You should avoid this procedure or consult a doctor before booking a treatment if you have any of these pre-existing health conditions:
Cancer
Diabetes
Epilepsy or autoimmune disorders
Bleeding disorders
Viral infections
Skin irritations
Vitiligo
You are taking blood-thinning medications
You have a major heart problem
You are pregnant
You’ve had an organ transplant
You have uncontrolled high blood pressure
Those under 18 years of age
The following skin conditions compromise the outcome of a procedure:
Ingrown hairs and open bumps on eyebrow-injured skin cannot be tattooed

Psoriasis (constant flaking/itching/irritation/shedding of skin)
Dermatitis (constant flaking/itching/irritation/shedding of skin)
Rosacea (chronic acne-like skin indicated by redness)
Severely oily skin on eyebrows (microblading hair strokes will appear more blended, solid, or not retain at all)
Large pores on your forehead & in the eyebrow area (color will blur/blend in large pores resulting in a powdered look)
Have moles/raised areas/piercings in or around the brow/eye area (anything raised or indented will not retain color)
Deep wrinkles in the brow area (the hair strokes will not lay properly in the creases, giving the eyebrows an uneven look)
Hair transplant for your eyebrows (color will not take in the scar tissue where the plugs were placed)
Shingles (permanent makeup should not be performed as the procedure could cause a flare-up)
The following medical conditions preclude you from having a procedure:
Pregnancy or nursing
