Details About Permanent Makeup
Before explaining the intricacies of each treatment, let’s first address some critical details.
- Microblading is a tattoo, just as all other permanent makeup and beauty treatments are. The only thing that makes it different is that it is performed with a specialized hand tool. It creates detailed individual eyebrow hairs in the skin. Microblading is ONLY for eyebrows.
- Cosmetic tattooing is the same as all other tattooing for the body. EXCEPT that because it is done on the face, there are some critical considerations. Firstly, the face is a very different canvas than the body is. Because of this, permanent makeup treatments tend to fade over time. They also need routine maintenance to look fresh and vibrant continuously. This is why it sometimes gets the name “semi-permanent makeup.” We at Mederm prefer the term permanent makeup. It is impossible to know or say when or even if the treatment will fade.
- Cosmetic tattooing involves three areas of the face: the eyebrows, the eyes for eyeliner, and the lips. It is a very popular beauty treatment.
- Eyebrows can fade faster than eyeliner or a lip tattoo. Accor artists use various shades of brown, which combines reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and black. These various components will fade faster than primary colors, such as reds for the lips or blacks, blues, or greens for eyeliner. Eyebrows require annual or semi-annual maintenance, and we always discount these retouches for our own clients.
- It is critical to choose an artist with quality training and experience. Sadly, there are even online courses in permanent makeup. People take them hoping to enter this industry. Unfortunately, these courses do not equip someone to tattoo the skin of the face. A great deal of scientific knowledge of each treatment area is required. A deep understanding of skin, skin conditions, and healing is also demanded. This is to ensure clients receive the best possible results.
EYEBROW TREATMENTS
Microblading involves the use of a specialized set of needles fused together. This allows the artist to create intricate individual eyebrow hairs. It is performed through a pre-drawn shape, delivering the appearance of a natural-looking eyebrow. It cannot be done on all skin types, which is why you need to research your artist.

More Eyebrow Treatments
Nano brows deliver the same look but are accomplished with a tattoo machine. The same limitations apply. For example, a client with oily or inflamed skin should not opt for nano brows.
Powder and ombre brows can be done on all skin types, provided no medical contraindications exist. They heal soft and beautiful, making them a go-to treatment.
Combination brows involve tattooing a beautiful powder brow and adding hair strokes for optimal realism.
EYELINER TREATMENTS
Eyelash enhancement involves a skinny, subtle line nestled in the lashes, which amplifies the eyes without being apparent as a tattoo.
Classic eyeliner is a thicker line, and the thickness is decided between you and your artist. It can have a winged tip or a wedge finish. It is important to note that eyeliner treatments shrink as they heal. Equally, this must be considered when designing the shape.
Another option for clients is smudged eyeliner, which resembles a pencil over liquid eyeliner. The eyelids must be in good condition for this beauty treatment to be possible.
LIP TREATMENTS
A lip liner can be tattooed around the perimeter of the vermillion border to restore the contour of the lips and guide lipstick application.
Lip blush tattoo involves tattooing color within the lip liner, which will heal to a soft, muted blush. The more intense the color selected, the more intense the lips will heal. Furthermore, it is essential to note that the healed result is at least 40 to 50 percent lighter than the day of treatment.
Does it hurt?
Everyone’s discomfort threshold is different. Nevertheless, we recognize that some areas are more sensitive than others. Therefore, we use a topical anesthetic before and during treatment to keep you comfortable.
