Permanent Makeup
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs
tattoos (permanent pigmentation of the dermis) as a means of
producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eyelining and
other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the face, lips
and eyelids. It is also used to produce artificial eyebrows,
particularly in people who have lost it as a consequence of old
age, disease, such as alopecia, chemotherapy or a genetic
disturbance, and to disguise scars and white spots in the skin
such as in vitiligo. It is also used to restore or enhance the
breast's areola, such as after breast surgery.
Most commonly called permanent cosmetics, other names include
dermapigmentation, micropigmentation, and cosmetic tattooing.
Permanent makeup can be useful for women who wish to wear
makeup, but cannot apply it easily because they have allergic
reactions to makeup materials, have vision deficits, tremors or
restrictions of precise movements of the fingers and hands (such
as in arthritis, stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple
sclerosis, or other conditions). Permanent makeup may also be
used to camouflage scarring on the face or other parts of the
body. Permanent makeup can also be used in conjunction
with Restylane® and
Juvéderm™ for
Lip Enhancement.
