Procedures: Eyebrows
The permanent application of color in the brow area mimics the appearance of hair in the brow line. Custom blended colors are implanted by hand to correct an imperfect shape and improve the appearance of hair density. The shape is designed for each individual based on bone structure for a soft and natural look. Anyone who desires a more natural fullness of the brow will love the look and convenience of this procedure. Throw away those eyebrow pencils and go swimming, exercise, play tennis and wipe your forehead without the embarrassment of losing your eyebrows. Those who suffer from alopecia are pleasantly surprised at how natural it looks.
Procedures: Eyeliner
Permanent eyeliner enhances and defines the shape of the eye. A subtle, natural look can be achieved with the implantation of pigments in the lash line creating the appearance of thicker lashes. Additional shadowing of color can be added for a soft natural liner or bolder and more defined line can be achieved. The color is applied by hand using a tiny configuration of needles to achieve pin point accuracy. The pigment is applied to the base of each individual eyelash. The shape of the eye can be slightly modified depending on the thickness of the eyeliner. Adding more color to the upper eyelid from the middle to the outer aspect makes the eyes look larger and slightly elongates the appearance of the eye. Ophthalmologists recommend permanent eyeliner for their patients who are allergic to conventional makeup or wear contact lenses.
Lip Procedures: Lip Liner/Full Lip Color
Permanent lip color gives beautiful results. It can appear to change the size and shape of the lips as well as the color. A soft, less defined look is achieved using light pink or rose tones, similar to the lip color of a child. A deeper color can be achieved for those who prefer a more dramatic look. The color can be implanted only as a lip line or through the entire lip for a “lipstick” effect. The choice of color is a collaborative effort influenced by the color and undertones of the lips, skin tones and undertones, and the desired finished color. Permanent lip color eliminates the problem of lipstick “bleeding” into the fine lines around the mouth.
