Eyeliner and Lash Enhancement

There are two types of eyeliner applications: lash enhancement and traditional eyeliner. These processes are accomplished by inserting a series of colored implants into the lashline. Lash enhancement is popular among both men and women. The procedure consists of a series of single implants between the lashes. A lash enhancement is subtle, using a color that is complimentary to the eyelashes. Pigment is applied to every second or third lash, and is implanted directly into the lash line to create a thicker, fuller look. If your technician uses a color that is too dark, your final result will appear as small series of “connect-the-dots” in the lash line. Using complimentary colors enhances the lashline, making the eyes of the patient pop.

Traditional eyeliner is applied by introducing a line of implants thicker and heavier than that of a lash enhancement. The end result of this procedure is meant to mimic the look of normal eyeliner makeup. The most popular complimentary colors for eyeliner and lash enhancement are taupe, brown, dark brown, brown black, black, blue, green or plum.

 

 

Eyebrow Hair Simulation

This procedure involves creating the perfect eyebrows for each client. Whether you have lost your brows altogether or have spaces and uneven hair distribution, eyebrow hair simulation creates realistic, 3-dimensional looking brows that act as the frame of your face. Generally, two to three complimentary colors are chosen and strategically applied by with needle strokes to create this look. If you want this procedure, be certain that your Technician is able to perform eyebrow hair simulation, and not just tattooed eyebrows. Ask to see photos of previous clients who received this procedure.

 

 

Lipliner and Full Lip Color

There are a variety of ways to carry out these procedures. As you would imagine, a lipliner application involves tattooing pigment on the outline of the lips to simulate traditional cosmetic lipliner. This procedure can be used to reshape the non-symmetrical lips, to add definition or to make lips appear fuller. A full lip color application is meant to mimic regular lipstick; without the mess, smearing or creasing. You should be able to choose from a matte look or sparkling look that can be enhanced by the addition of lipgloss or lip balm. A natural color choice is recommended, as trends and fashion constantly change.

 

Paramedical Procedures

There are a variety of Permanent Cosmetic procedures that fall under the category of “paramedical procedures.” They are given this name because the treatments are often answers to medical conditions and irregularities rather than cosmetic requests. Generally, it takes a more skilled and experienced Technician with special training to carry out these procedures.

 

Areola Repigmentation

Areola Repigmentation is a process that involves changing or creating a normal and healthy-looking areola. In some cases, the Technician is even able to create the appearance of a 3-dimensonal nipple if the client does not have one. This procedure has proved unbelievably beneficial for breast cancer survivors who have endured mastectomies.

 

Corrective Pigment Camouflage (CPC)

Corrective Pigment Camouflage is the method of inserting pigments into the skin to blend and normalize discoloration. This process can be performed on patients with Vitiglio, burns or other types of scars, after cleft lip surgery and a number of other conditions. The results of these procedures are incredible and can do wonders for appearance and self-esteem.

 

Scar Relaxation

Scar Relaxation can be done as a procedure unto itself, or in conjunction with CPC. If done singularly, no pigment is involved. The technician repeatedly goes over the scarred area with a needle to loosen the contractured scar tissue and allow for a larger range of movement for the patient. It is an added result if CPC is performed over a scar, as the needle is doing double duty – repigmenting the skin and giving a needling treatment.

 

Skin and Facial Needling

Skin and Facial Needling is another procedure that requires no pigment. This treatment is used to plump up fine lines, acne scars and wrinkles, and has been found to be extremely effective for those who have undergone the procedure. In this treatment, the needle is directed through the center of crevices (wrinkles) or acne scars to draw a light bloodline. As the brain recognizes trauma to that area, it responds by generating collagen and directing it to the affected area, plumping it up.

 

Melanocyte Restoration

Melanocyte Restoration is another needling procedure. No pigment is used and the skin is repeatedly pricked with a needle. As a result of the continuous pricking, the skin’s melanocyte cells are stimulated to produce melanin, which colors the skin. After a series of treatments, the scar will gain natural pigmentation and blend in with the rest of the skin.
