Is Permanent Makeup Safe?

      Yes. The SofTap technique is very safe!  With each procedure fresh pigments are used which contain safe inorganic ingredients.  Only disposable probes, brushes and spatulas are used.  All non disposable equipment is thoroughly sterilized via OSHA sterilization procedures such as a dry heat sterilizer or autoclave.  A patch test is suggested to qualify any color changes that may take place with the undertones of an individual's skin.

How deep is the pigment  deposited into the skin?

     The pigment is placed about one millimeter underneath the epidermis into the dermis layer of the skin.

Suppose eyebrow styles change?

    Your eyebrow shape will be based on  your own preferences in combination with the technician's suggestions for a classic shape that will never go out of style.

What if eyeliner goes out of style?

    It is extremely difficult to find a culture or period of history where eyelashes were not coveted.  With this procedure we simply enhance the natural lash line for a fuller beautiful natural look.

What happens when I am not wearing any lipstick?

    The line is done in soft, natural shades that make the lips look fuller and blends with your lip tissue.

What about women troubled by allergies?

    Many women love Permanent Makeup because it replaces the topical cosmetics they are allergic to.  Contact lens wearers especially love not having to worry about makeup becoming lodged under their lenses.

What is the healing period like?

    Depending on the person, a light crust will form after a few days.  This will fall off in four or five days.  During this time the pigmented area will look a little darker than the final color.  After the crust falls off it should lighten to the color you want.

How soon afterward can I go out?

    Immediately.  For the first few days you will look like you are wearing your makeup heavier than usual.  Sometimes the crusting is slightly visible, but usually not enough to be obvious.

Is it advisable to have a consultation before the procedure?

    Definitely.  This will allow the Permanent Makeup technician to see what your preferences are.  We will then make suggestions to help you perfect your look before the procedure is performed.

Is it painful?

    A topical anesthetic is used during the procedure.  The SofTap method is the gentlest technique used in the field of Permanent Makeup.
