Permanent
Makeup (Micro-pigmentation)
PREPARATION / PROCEDURE / RECOVERY / RESULTS
Applying some cosmetics can be bothersome, especially if you have a
physical condition that makes it difficult or they have to be applied
everyday. Permanent makeup will permit more practical make-up application,
save time in the morning and reduce the need for touch-ups during the
day. RTH Face & Body
specializes in the application of eyebrows, lip liner, and full lip
color.
| Preparation |
 |
A patch test is done to determine whether you have an allergic
reaction to the pigment that will be used. You will select the
color, based on advice and suggestions from the RTH makeup technician.
The technician then sketches the area to be tattooed with a sterile
surgical pen. A topical anesthetic gel is applied on the area.
| Procedure |
 |
We apply special dyes through a delicate hand piece specifically designed
for this procedure to accent your natural beauty. Using new micro-pigmentation
techniques, eyelashes, eyebrows, and lip margin can be highlighted
to help you look your best at all times.
Micropigmentation is performed in an our office.
The procedure itself will take a short
amount of time, perhaps 20 minutes to a half hour at most.
If you are receiving anesthesia, you will be required to arrive
earlier in order to let the anesthesia take effect. After the procedure,
your specialist or doctor will provide you with an antiseptic to
cleanse the treated region.
| Recovery |
 |
It takes about 2 to 3 weeks for the color to fade to its permanent shade allowing
you to enjoy the results of the procedure. Your RTH technician may recommend
avoiding direct sunlight for several weeks. You will be able to resume normal
activities the same day. Your RTH doctor or RTH technician will
instruct you on how often you should ice the area and what type of ointment
you can apply to the area.
If you are having the procedure performed in your eye region, you should plan
to have someone drive you to the office and home again. You may experience
tearing, which is normal.
| Results |
 |
While results vary from individual to individual most patients enjoy a fuller
lip color, more dramatic eyebrow, and enhanced facial features. Patients also
enjoy not needing to apply bothersome cosmetics everyday. They typically save
time in the morning and don't need to worry about makeup touch-ups throughout
the day. RTH Face & Body
specializes in the application of eyebrows, lip liner, and full lip color.
