Permanent Cosmetics
Is Permanent Makeup Right For Me?
Nearly everyone can benefit from the convenience of permanent cosmetics including people with allergies to conventional makeup, people who are physically incapable of applying makeup, athletes who tend to shed makeup easily, burn survivors, people with flaws in their skin, and people with asymmetrical facial features.
What Can I Expect After The Procedure?
Topical anesthetics are used to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Afterward, there will be slight swelling and redness in the skin, which will subside quickly. Makeup will appear 30-40% darker than the desired outcome color for about 5 days. An ointment is applied over the 5 day healing period that will leave a shine on the area. Patients will be given specific post-treatment instructions, based on the area(s) of treatment. You may resume most normal activities immediately after the procedure. Complete healing takes 1-6 weeks while the pigmentation reaches its final color. It is normal to need a touch-up or enhancement at this time which is included in the original price. It is also normal over years of time for the permanent cosmetics to fade and need an enhancement of color 1 to 5 years out. The fee for this is a fraction of the original procedure, not full price.
Choosing the Right Permanent Makeup Technician
You should never shop for price in this matter. This is your face and a bargain price isn’t a bargain if the end result is less than satisfactory. Your results will be only as good as the technician you choose. Choose your technician carefully by considering their training, experience, and examples of their previous work. Check for licensing, certifications, and be sure they have liability insurance. Ask for references from previous patients.
Other Popular Procedures
Breast Lift
Breasts that have lost their firm, uplifted contours can affect a woman’s self-image and confidence. A breast lift is a surgical procedure that reshapes and lifts sagging breasts, helping to restore their youthful appearance. This surgery is particularly popular among women who have experienced changes in their breasts due to pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations. At the Center for Aesthetic, a breast lift (mastopexy) may be right for you if you want to restore the firmness and shape of your breasts. The procedure works by removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissues, and repositioning the nipples, which can also improve the symmetry and overall shape of the breasts, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
LIPOSUCTION
Trying to exercise off stubborn fat deposits can be frustrating, if not impossible; but at the Center for Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, liposuction can help. Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves using a suction technique to remove excess fat from various parts of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and neck. Despite efforts to lose weight through exercise and a healthy diet, stubborn fat deposits may persist in these areas. Liposuction provides a solution for eliminating these unwanted fat deposits, resulting in a more contoured and toned appearance. This procedure can effectively remove fatty tissue from just about anywhere on the body, from head to feet, helping you achieve the body shape you desire.
KYBELLA™
The ‘double chin’ is a common and often under-treated aesthetic concern for both women and men. Traditionally, the only solution was semi-invasive liposuction. Fortunately, a new, highly effective alternative is now available. KYBELLA is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to improve the appearance of a double chin by permanently destroying fat cells in the targeted area. This minimally invasive procedure offers a convenient, non-surgical option for those seeking a more sculpted and defined facial profile. With its unique deoxycholic acid formulation, KYBELLA effectively breaks down and eliminates stubborn fat deposits, ensuring long-lasting results. Its safety and effectiveness have made it a popular choice among patients seeking a more contoured jawline.
