Can you imagine waking up and walking out the door without touching your face? Flawless brows, perfectly lined eyes, or beautifully tinted lips at all times.
Permanent cosmetics save you time and help you look your best at all times. But are permanent cosmetics really permanent? And most importantly, what else should you know before scheduling an appointment?
Permanent cosmetics could be the solution you’ve been searching for. Read on as the experts at Soulage Wellness & Aesthetic Center in Bastrop, Texas, share everything you need to know about this innovative beauty technique.
Permanent cosmetics, also known as cosmetic tattoos, enhance your natural features by implanting pigment into the dermal layer of your skin. This cosmetic procedure mimics the look of applied makeup, such as defined eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip color.
Permanent makeup can also create beauty marks or help individuals with conditions like alopecia or vitiligo fill in areas with pigment.
Every cosmetic tattoo is tailored to your unique skin tone and personal style. During your consultation, we use cosmetic pencils to create a preview of your desired look, so you can visualize the outcome before the procedure begins.
Your skilled provider applies permanent cosmetics using specialized tools, such as a pen or rotary machine. The process begins with an in-depth consultation, followed by the application of pigment.
While the process involves implanting pigment into your skin, discomfort is minimal and manageable. Our team applies topical anesthetics or desensitizing products to your skin to keep you as comfortable as possible.
Post-procedure, the treated area will appear a little bit darker for 5-7 days before softening to its final hue. Mild swelling and discomfort are normal for the first few days and can be alleviated with ice packs and over-the-counter pain relief. Vitamin A and D gel are often used to hydrate and protect the area during healing.
You’ll also come in for a follow-up appointment where any changes to the shape and the color of the cosmetic tattoo can be made.
While the term “permanent” might suggest lifelong results, permanent cosmetics gradually fade over time. Results typically last between 2-6 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain the color and shape of your cosmetic tattoo.
