Does permanent eye liner hurt?

That's a good question and one that is asked frequently. I have to say from my own experience, having my eye liner done permanently did not hurt but it was strange. The pressure from the technician stretching the skin was weird because (let's face it) who ever goes near your eyes...no one. That is itself was different. During the procedure, my eyes were closed the entire time. That was relieving.

I have to sum it up by saying that having your eyeliner procedure done is Bizarre....not painful. I love it!!! It gives my eye definition 24/7.

Before the procedure, there is a topical anesthetic applied to numb the area.
Easy, Breezy!

The benefits of Permanent Cosmetics for Alopecia

My first experience with an Alopecia client was overwhelmingly emotional. To understand, from her prospective, all of the insecurities that comes with being diagnosed with this condition. When she was told she had Alopecia, she was shocked. She had to get used to people starring at her, she started wearing wigs, and she felt she wasn’t a good Mother anymore or a beautiful wife. So much was going on in her mind. She was 40 when she started losing her hair.

I was thrilled with the fact that she chose me to tattoo her brows and eye liner. The benefits of having both procedures helped her feel normal again. She was so excited to finally have the opportunity to have brows. Since brows draw attention to the eyes…she felt lost without them. Now that she has eyeliner, too. Her eyes are defined and beautiful.

When we finished the procedure, we both shared tears; her tears of happiness to look normal again and my tears of absolute joy being able to help her. Wow, what an experience. (I have to say that when I help women with Medical issues, it’s extremely fulfilling).

Permanent makeup does wonders for Alopecia!

What is Alopecia?

I’m thrilled to be able to share my personal experiences, along with my clients, in cosmetic tattooing/permanent makeup. My first blog is going to be about Alopecia.

What is Alopecia?

Alopecia areata is a condition affecting humans, in which hair is lost from areas of the body, usually from the scalp. In some cases, the condition can spread to the entire scalp (Alopecia totalis) or to the entire epidermis (Alopecia universalis). The condition, (Alopecia universalis), causes hair loss all over the body…including the face: brows, eyelashes and facial hair. This is where I come into the picture as a Permanent Makeup Artist/Micropigmentation Specialist. Women, men and children will all benefit with increased confidence from their improved appearance after permanent paramedical repigmentation is properly applied.

Typically there is concern as to whether or not the permanent makeup will look "natural" if or when natural hair growth should occur in the future. The answer is "yes".

Consultations are required and are taken seriously. After your eyebrow and/or eyeliner procedure, you will feel comfortable with your appearance as you enter into the public eye. Basically, there is no "down-time" other than using some ice (or frozen peas) if swelling occurs.

Usually, clients will come in at lunch time and go back to work immediately after the procedures. Others feel more comfortable having their procedure done on a Friday evening (after work) so they could go home afterwards to relax and unwind.
