Permanent Make-up  London
What exactly is Permanent Make-up?
Permanent make-up is a state of the art form of cosmetic tattooing. The specialized techniques used for permanent cosmetics are often referred to as
 "micropigmentation", "micropigment implantation" or "dermagraphics". The cosmetic implantation technique deposits tiny individual implants of pigment
 into the dermal layer of the skin.
Permanent Make-up Procedures
Permanent cosmetics procedures are performed using various machines and methods, including the traditional (or specialized) tattoo or coil machines,
the pen or rotary machine and the non-machine or hand method.
These procedures are a process which includes the initial consultation, initial application of pigment, and usually one or two follow up visits for
adjusting the shape and color or density of the pigment.

Permanent Make-up; is it really permanent?
Technically, permanent make-up procedures are considered permanent because the color is implanted into the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off.
However, as with any tattoo, fading can and often does occur, requiring periodic maintenance. It is important to consider this and all aspects of the
procedure when selecting a potential permanent make-up technician.

How long does each permanent make-up procedure take?
The initial procedure will generally take approximately 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours. Follow up procedures usually do not require as much time as the initial
procedure.

Is Permanent Make-up painful?
Permanent make-up procedures are of a skin invasive nature (as they are a form of cosmetic tatoo) and therefore you may experience some discomfort.
This may vary according to each individual's pain threshold and the skills of the technician performing the service. HOWEVER, keep in mind that there are
different methods available to help with pain management, including various topical anesthetic ointments and anesthetic blocks (administered by a doctor
or dentist), as well as topical desensitizing products. Tracie Giles will discuss these methods with you to determine which one is right for you.
