What is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of pigments to the skin’s topmost layers in order to create the appearance of makeup. This technique is often used to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip color, and can also be used to camouflage scars or correct certain cosmetic concerns.

It’s important to note that while the term “permanent” is used, the color will gradually fade over time due to factors such as sun exposure, skin type, and individual metabolism. Therefore, periodic touch-up sessions are recommended to maintain the desired appearance.
