What is Permanent Cosmetics?
Permanent Cosmetics is the art of implanting of pigment in the dermal layer of the skin to enhance and correct the client’s features. It is also called micropigmentation, permanent makeup, dermapigmentation, dermagraphics, interdermal cosmetics and intradermal cosmetics. And yes, it is tattooing. The difference from traditional “body art” tattooing is that it is a delicate procedure covering only a small area, and the pigments are soft, natural-looking colors. Permanent eyeliner, eyebrows, lip liner and full lip color are the most popular Permanent Cosmetics procedures. Lyn Lawrence is also certified for scar revision and areola repigmentation.
Permanent Cosmetics, also referred to as micro-pigmentation, cosmetic tattooing or dermal-pigmentation, is a process whereby completely natural pigments are implanted beneath the epidermis (top layer of skin), into the dermal layer (second layer of skin), by micro insertion. This technique has been medically developed and specifically designed for a safe permanent application. The pigments used have been specially formulated for cosmetic application. Not to be compared with traditional tattooing, in which permanent skin dyes and inks are placed into the skin.
