| There is
no mystery about permanent cosmetics. It is generally performed
with an electrical instrument, but can be performed with a
hand held tool. Both procedures involve a needle or "probe"
which inserts pigment under the skin. The feeling can be slightly
uncomfortable at times, however, with the use of topical anesthetics
available through a doctors office such as Another You Permanent
Cosmetics provides, most people find very little discomfort,
and say the long lasting effects are well worth the effort.
The results can very depending on the skill of the artist
and technician operating the device. The bottom line is "do
your homework". Understand that a machine in the hands
of a skilled artist can produce a work of art, but in the
hands of unskilled artists, the results can be very disappointing.
Hand held tools are generally easier for a beginner to learn
with, and can have limited uses. No matter what the technique,
the outcome should be the same, polished, yet soft and natural
looking. I find the use of the traditional electrical coil
machine to be the perfect blend to create fine "hairs"
in the brow area, crisp lip lines, or soft subtle shading
for eyeliners, and full beautiful lips. I feel your permanent
facial makeup should be "realistic looking", not
just a series of dots placed under the skin to form a shadow
of color. This is your face, and you want the confidence
to present it radiantly.
