Permanent Makeup in South Africa

Permanent makeup imitates the look of just-applied eyeliner, lip liner, lipstick, and eyebrow pencil. It is performed through a process known as micro pigmentation, in which a tattoo pen is used to inject permanent ink into the skin. Each process takes between thirty and 120 minutes, and physicians use a local anesthetic to numb the area being tattooed. Similar to any tattoo, at first, the color looks brighter or darker, then will fade. The area will be inflamed for somewhere between two to five days and will crust over before healing.

Permanent makeup is used for a number of cosmetic enhancements like lip liner/color, permanent eyebrows, and eyeliner. Other permanent makeup procedures are a hairline enhancement, scar camouflage, vitiligo, areola restoration, and more. Permanent makeup has even been used to cover-up uneven skin discolorations, birthmarks, stretch marks, and freckles/age spots.

Permanent makeup is achievable through a procedure known as micro pigmentation where an organic pigment is embedded beneath the underneath the skin to add permanent shade. The procedure entails the use of a hand-held device, which punctures the skin numerous times per minute with an extremely thin needle and drives the pigment into the preferred location.
