Permanent makeup: what is it and the main types

Permanent makeup is a revolutionary cosmetic technique that involves using a pen containing iron oxide to color the dermis. This is achieved by introducing colored and natural pigments into the top layer of the skin. The procedure uses a very fine needle that makes hundreds of tiny perforations per minute. She creates crisp patterns that are reminiscent of makeup, which is usually applied to the lips, eyelids and eyebrows.

Permanent lip makeup

The procedure makes the lips more defined and adds color to the lips. As we age, the pigment around the lips is lost, resulting in unnatural patches. Permanent lip makeup compensates for the loss of pigmentation, colors the lips in a more juicy and natural shade.

Things to remember before the procedure:

  • Alcohol should not be consumed 24 hours before the procedure.
  • Do not take aspirin or blood thinners 5 days before the procedure.
  • If you have ulcers on the lips, cuts in the mouth, then the procedure should be postponed.

  1. Ice should be applied for 10-15 minutes every hour for the first 4-8 hours.
  2. Avoid soap, cleanser on the treated area for 7 days.
