The
Art Of Cosmetic Tattooing with Michelle Curran
Cosmetic tattooing also called semi-permanent
make-up or micropigmentation is an exciting treatment which enhances
facial features such as brows, eyes, lips and also has a place
in the medical field (vitiligo, alopecia, breast re-construction,
scar camouflage).
When you apply your make-up it only lasts a few hours. Just imagine
that it can last a few months and years, and this is what cosmetic
tattooing will do for you.
Nowadays, modern living is demanding, everybody works longer
hours, the competition is fierce between male and female, young
and not so young. Not only everybody must perform better but
must look good as well.
Cosmetic tattooing or semi-permanent make-up will give you the
confidence to look your best all the time. You will feel rejuvenated,
looking younger therefore happier and more confident. Many clients
say my work has given them the look of a face lift (without the
cost) and has made them look and feel up to ten years younger.
Perfect Eyebrows
Eyebrows are the frame of the face. They bring
character to a person's face as they are involved in every facial
expression. Shape correction can give a rejuvenating effect,
achieved by re-designing the shape of the eyebrows to lift drooping
eyelids and "open up the eyes". The result gives a
definite, more youthful appearance. You can either shape and
define the brows producing a powdery effect or in some instances,
the treatment is carried out with fine hair strokes. Anyone who
desires more fullness of the brows will love the procedure, and
the time saved not applying make-up. You can go swimming, play
sport, go to the hairdresser, and wipe your forehead without
the embarrassment of losing their eyebrows.
Subtle Natural Eyes
Because they are so expressive, the eyes are
he first thing people notice. The implantation of pigments between
the lashes will give a natural look with the illusion of fuller,
thicker lashes, suddenly the eyes are "alive". The
shape can also be enhanced and create the appearance of larger
eyes. For an anti-ageing effect, the lower lash line can be lifted,
making your face look younger. Additional shadowing of colour
can be added for a soft natural line, often referred to as "designer
liner"
Mucosa colouring is available, adding colour to the inner tissue,
at the edge of the eye, where a lot of women apply "Kohl",
adding depth, and of course solving the problems of "panda
eyes" .
Attractive or Sexy Sensual
Lips
Cosmetic tattooing reduces the appearance of fine
lines around the lips. It restores fullness, youthfulness and
definition to the lips. Symmetry can be restored, shape can be
modified. Again, you can get natural results with soft tones
or a more "make
up" look.
LipLiner
Can be natural or defined, your choice of thin,
or thick line. Guaranteed to perfect the shape of your mouth.
Full Lip Tint
Shape can be defined, symmetry restored, and colour
is added all over. Again results can be soft and natural or more
dramatic. Gloss can be added over it or if you feel like a change
of colour, just apply the lipstick of your choice over it.
Beauty Spots
A lot of customers want a beauty spot like "Cindy
Crawford", above the corner of the upper lip. Other popular
spots are just under the corner of the eyes, on the cheekbone,
on the breast... or where ever takes your fancy.
Colour Boost Refresh
Over time, colours fade and it is nice to add
a colour boost to refresh your look. Also due to the fading process,
colours can change and need to be corrected. |
What
is permanent Cosmetic Make-up?
Also called semi-permanent tattooing or micro pigmentation,
this procedure involves the insertion of naturally improved
pigments into the upper layer of the dermis to instantly improve
the appearance. Every treatment is TAILOR MADE.
How is it done?
The procedure is performed using a pen-like machine or tattooist
gun with sterile, disposable needles and parts. Non-allergenic
colours are implanted just underneath the skin. These colours
are manufactured specifically for use on the face, and are
deigned to compliment your natural skin tones.
Who is it for?
This procedure will benefit people;
- with poor eyesight or with contact lenses
- with thinning
or no eyebrows
- with a disappearing or crooked lip line
- with alopecia
- with burn scars
- with allergies
- in the sports, entertainment or modelling
industries
- who want to improve on nature and enhance their features
- who want to reduce the appearance of scars after a facelift
or breast operation
How long will it last and are there
any side effects
Lasting effects vary according to the colour implanted, your
skin type and cell renewal. Tattooing always looks darker and
bolder just after the treatment and will take about a week to
gradually fade into a natural shade. As a general rule, the darker
the colour, the longer it lasts. Certain darker colours will
be visible for up to ten years. Lip colour can be reassessed
after approximately four weeks. Slight swelling and faint bruising
on the eyelids may appear after the treatment. These side effects
will disappear within a couple of days.
Does it hurt and how long will it
take
Anaesthetic cream is applied prior to the treatment to ease any
discomfort, and an anaesthetic gel is used after the skin is
broken. For lip blending and full lip colour, a local dentist
will provide a dental block at client's cost. Before the treatment,
a consultation will be conducted and can take up to one hour.
The procedure itself continues for one to two hours, depending
on the treatment. Adjustments, if needed, are carried out four
to eight weeks after the initial appointment. If clients require
a more intense colour for the full lip treatment a second treatment
can be organised.
Do I have a choice of colours?
Definitely! There is a wide choice of colours and shades. Colours
can be mixed, darkened or lightened to achieve a soft and natural
look, or a more glamorous look.
What do I need for after care?
A tube of BEPANTHEN cream must be purchased from Cosmetic Creations
after the treatment, to ensure superior, long lasting results.
