Are Permanent Cosmetic procedures really permanent?
Technically, Permanent Cosmetic procedures are considered “permanent” because the color is implanted into the upper reticular part of the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo, fading can and often does occur, requiring periodic maintenance, or color re-enhancement. Just like hair color, furniture located near a window, or the paint on a car, pigment implanted in the skin fades with time. The color typically lasts for about two years, but varies by client due to body chemistry, skin pigmentation and exposure to various elements.
