What is the difference between semi-permanent and permanent cosmetics?
Improperly placed pigment will result in premature fading. Even if the color were to completely fade or be removed, the skin is never restored to its original condition, therefore ‘semi-permanent’ makeup is a false and misleading label. There is a pigment line on the horizon designed to be easily removed with a particular laser, however it currently receives poor reception from the cosmetic tattoo and traditional tattoo professions. Bottom line: color placed in the skin with needles is tattooing, hence considered permanent.
