Permanent makeup.

This is a way out of a difficult situation when there are some defects on the face that can be corrected without the use of concealing cosmetics , as well as without resorting to cosmetic operations:

asymmetry of lips, eyelids, eyebrows
burn defects
small scars
pigmentation defects
replenish areas of the eyebrows or scalp

Those who like to look always beautiful will also like this “eternal makeup”, for example:

after taking a shower
on vacation while swimming
after sleeping in the morning
under working conditions associated with elevated temperatures in the production area, when conventional cosmetics begin to spread or slip from the place of application
with active sports activities.

People who wear glasses find it difficult to apply cosmetics, so cosmetic tattooing is also convenient for them.

The application of permanent makeup (synonyms: micropigmentation , dermopigmentation, cosmetic tattooing) is carried out using a special needle, when the pigment is injected into the necessary areas of the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). Pigment granules for such makeup should not be less than 6 microns in size, so that there is no risk of dye migration outside the required pigment location. Permanent makeup can be applied in stages or in one step. But when painting over large enough areas, it is recommended to apply the dye in stages so that the client has the opportunity to periodically evaluate the aesthetic effect of the procedure.

You can adjust the color distribution in two ways: by contouring or feathering. With the contouring of pigment, the pattern is clearer, this method is suitable for giving definition to the lips, or eyelids, or eyebrow line. Feathering is used when you only need to give a color shade to the staining site. To do this, when applying the pigment, the skin is slightly stretched, after the tension is released, the colored areas are compressed, thus creating the illusion of a shadow.

As part of permanent make-up, they do:

Lip tattooing in the form of a contour or volumetric;

Permanent make-up of the lower and / or upper eyelids;

Eyebrow tattooing in the form of hairs or shaking (color distribution over the entire width of the eyebrow)

It is impossible to apply permanent makeup without surgery if you need to correct drooping eyelids, bags under the eyes or deep-set eyes.

The main chemical compounds that make up pigments.

White - barium sulfate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide
Brown color - iron oxide
Black - iron oxide, carbon
Yellow color - iron oxide, cadmium sulfate
Red - alizarin, mercury sulfite, cadmium selenide
Purple color - manganese oxide
Blue color - cobalt aluminate
Green color - chromium oxide

The best pigments are made in Germany or Italy.

Depending on whether you want to make a permanent makeup with a natural shade or a pronounced one, the tones of the pigments will be matched.

There are a number of contraindications for applying makeup - tattooing , which are divided into two groups: categorical contraindications and temporary contraindications.

The procedure for applying permanent makeup is carried out under local anesthesia and lasts up to 2-3 hours. After two weeks, make-up correction is done, that is, color errors are corrected. After the manipulations, microscars remain, which heal for about two weeks. During this period, the skin must be properly looked after (treated with special protective agents, avoiding saunas or baths, swimming pools, open reservoirs). It is undesirable to do permanent make-up just before going to the sea, lake and other places of rest, in order to avoid unsuccessful long healing.

Permanent makeup, unlike a tattoo, does not last forever. Although the dyes are used the same, but due to their shallow penetration into the skin, they gradually fade, especially for tanners. On average, cosmetic tattooing lasts from 2 to 6 years. It depends on the individual characteristics of the skin.
