What is Permanent Makeup?
[ Benefits ] [ Common FAQs ] [ Testimonials ]

  Permanent makeup, also known as Intradermal Pigmentation, is a revolutionary method of applying natural pigments into the dermal layer of skin. This state-of-the-art technique is medically proven and specifically designed to be completely safe.

  Permanent makeup is used for a variety of cosmetic enhancements such as permanent eyebrows, eye liner, and lip liner/color. Other permanent makeup procedures include vitiligo, scar camouflage, areola restoration, hairline enhancement, and more. Permanent makeup has also been used to cover-up stretchmarks, birthmarks, freckles/age spots, and uneven skin discolorations.

Let’s explain a few more popular procedures.

Lip Liner/Color

  The Intradermal Pigmentation procedure for lip color is beautiful. It can appear to change the size and shape of the lips as well as the color. This procedure helps prevent lipstick from bleeding into the surrounding skin. Many people request a soft pink, similar to the lip color to that of an infant, for those who want a natural look. Others may desire a dramatic effect.

Eyebrows

  The Intradermal Pigmentation procedure for eyebrows can mimic the appearance of hair in the brow line. Anyone who desires more fullness of the brows will love the procedure (and the time saved not applying makeup!) Those who used to apply pencil can go swimming, play tennis, or wipe their forehead without the embarrassment of losing their eyebrows. Those suffering from alopecia (hair loss) are pleasantly surprised at how natural it looks.

Eyeliner

  A subtle, natural look, mimicking thousands of tiny eyelashes with the implantation of pigments in the lash line is popular with both male and female clients. Additional shadowing of color can be added for a soft natural liner or a more bold, definite line can be achieved. Ophthalmologists recommend Intradermal Cosmetic procedures for those who are allergic to conventional makeup and for those wearing contact lenses.

Common FAQs

– Whats the difference between the Tradional Tattooing process and Permanent Makeup?
Where both procedures involve tattooing the skin, in traditional tattooing, pigment is added to the third layer of the skin, where in permanent makeup pigment is added the second layer of the skin called the Dermis, creating a final result of a soft blend of color to the tattooed area.

– Is this procedure painful?
Topical anesthetic creams/liquids are used to minimize discomfort.

– Do I have a choice of colors?
Definitely! There’s a wide spectrum if colors that you may choose from.

– Do I have a choice in th placement of pigments?
Of course. You will be fully aware during the procedure, instructing the technician where you wish the implants to be located.

– What is involved in recovery?
There will be slight swelling and redness in the skin, which will subside quickly. You may resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. Complete healing takes one to six weeks while the pigmentation matures and reaches its final color.

Testimonials

Jennifer has been doing my monthly facials for the past 7 years. Her youthful outlook and expertise has been a vital part of my "aging process". Jennifer has wanted to do my eyebrows for the past 4 years and I was just plain afraid of permanent anything done to my face. Last year, I finally gave in as my eyebrows became more extinct. Not only was I extremely happy with the natural look, I am very happy that I don't have to apply my eyebrows as part of my daily regimen, especially while on vacation. My husband, who was the main opposer, totally approves. My friends tell me it adds youthfulness to my face and it looks sexy! Now, that's what I call compliments! I have to add, that Jennifer is a superb facialist and at 53, many people ask me what have I done to achieve skin like this; she's the answer.

I LOVE my eyebrows! Jennifer did a great job with giving them the perfect shape. Being a flight attendant who loves sports like tennis and swimming, it has made my life much easier. I can really see a difference in my beach photos too. I can’t wait to get my eyeliner done.
Thank You, Jennifer!

– R. Moore, Rancho Santa Fe, Ca
I am so happy with my lip color and shape I got from Jennifer. She gave my lips the perfect shape and color. She assured me I would not need a lip block and she was right. She was able to get my lips totaly numb with a topical anesthetic. Jennifer is very professional and knowledgeable, I felt very comfortable with her. I recommend her very highly and look forward to having my eyeliner done next! Thank You!

I can say that having permanent makeup has changed my lifestyle! I have blond hair and blue eyes, and being fair skinned I have a tendency to have a washed out appearance. Make up was the only way I could have a distinguishable face! The only problem is I hate makeup! I have a very active lifestyle and work out a lot. However since having the permanent makeup done, not only do I wake up with discernable eyes, I can work out all I want with no smearing or melting. I have much more free time in the mornings and when I swim or run I still look good afterwards, no raccoon eyes! I have been going to Jennifer for 7 years now and have always been more than satisfied with the results I get. Whether it is permanent makeup, waxing or microdermabrasion she is the best!

I have friends who have had permanent makeup done by people other than Jennifer and they have always complained about how long it took and the pain involved. With Jennifer, although the procedure is annoying, it was not painful and she was so fast! I followed her recommendations for post procedure had no discomfort after the fact. Since I had the permanent makeup done by her, my mother, sisters and two best friends have also followed suit. They all say that their life has been simplified and that they are very pleased with the results. I can not speak highly enough of Jennifer’s professionalism and attitude and I recommend her most sincerely.

I only wish I had Jennifer tattoo my top and bottom eye lids and eye brows years ago! I wake up and look made up. After working out, I look ready to go out! Jennifer is professional, always up to date on the latest technology, and makes the procedure as painless as possible.
