Microblading
It is the process of depositing cosmetics micro-pigments into the dermal layer of the skin with a fine needle in hair-like strokes giving the look of real hairs. The process of eyebrow micropigmentation treatment takes between one to two sessions and skin friendly in most of the cases.
Micropigmentation uses small dots of pigments, similar to the technique used in traditional tattooing. The paramedic tattooist uses either a standard tattoo gun or a pen-like instrument to inject the pigment into the middle layer of the skin.
Micropigmentation usually lasts about 3 years, which is considerably longer than microblading.
Although the procedure can take upward of 2 hours, most people report only feeling minor pressure or discomfort and less pain than a typical tattoo due to the use of a numbing cream. Of course, this will depend on your own personal tolerance to pain. Some level of pain or discomfort should be expected.
Eyebrow microblading is a form of permanent makeup where ink is placed underneath the skin. It’s similar to eyebrow tattooing (in fact, it is a form of eyebrow tattooing), but it’s pretty different from standard eyebrow tattooing in some very important ways.
As with most of the tattoo procedures, an eyebrow tattoo is also likely to cause skin problems, especially inflammation, scratches, the appearance of red coloured bumps and sometimes trigger allergic reactions in the form of unusual itching.
Semi-permanent eyeliner
Semi-permanent eyeliner is a new form of semi-permanent makeup, giving your eyes that sparkle and saving time every single morning! In a Semi Permanent Eyeliner procedure, the artist will deposit pigment into the epidermis of your eyelid, creating a perfect eyeliner effect on your lash line.
The process involves injecting a dark coloured pigment onto the eyelid that mimics the look of your everyday pencil or liquid liner. Micropigmentation eyeliner is usually chosen by those who want to wear eyeliner every day without the hassle of applying it.
Most eyeliner tattoos will last between 8 and 18 months, however the pigment will eventually fade, so a ‘touch up’ is recommended after 12 months. Every skin holds the pigment differently and many things including medications, skin type and health can determine the rate of fading.
These products not only severely reduce the pain, but the epinephrine also helps limit swelling. Consequently, many people feel the permanent eyeliner procedure causes some discomfort, but often not anywhere near the pain the person was anticipating.
Using a fresh Q-Tip, apply a light coat of Vaseline to the tattooed area twice a day. Keeping the area moist during the first 5-7 days will help the tattooed area hold color and heal evenly. It is normal for the pigment to fade 30-50% within the first two weeks.
DO NOT PICK, PEEL, OR SCRATCH the treated area, or your colour may heal unevenly, and you risk scarring and infection. No makeup is to be applied for 72 hours (three days) after the procedure on the tattoo area. After any eyeliner procedure, use new mascara for the first 10 days after the 3 days of no makeup.
Your true colour will not be apparent until the 4–6-week mark. After the procedure, cleansing should be done by compresses with the water wipes provided for the first 4 hours to clean the eye area in a padding motion, this is to absorb excess lymph fluid.
Swelling, cracking, peeling, blistering, and scarring as well as formation of granulomas in the areas of the eyes and lips. In some cases, the effects reported caused serious disfigurement, resulting in difficulty in eating and talking.
Semi-permanent Lip Blush
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent tattoo that can enhance the color and shape of your lips and give the impression of more fullness. This is done by depositing color ink into your lips and along your lip line to improve the overall look. The color is subtle to give natural-looking results.
Lip blushing is usually performed by a licensed tattoo artist or a paramedic tattooist. The pain level has been described as minimal. A topical anaesthetic is typically applied for about 20 minutes to numb your lips. Then, the technician draws the shape of what you want your lips to look like.
Like any tattoo, swelling and redness is unavoidable. You may experience an intensified vibrancy from the pigment causing a temporary boldness to your lips. As they heal, the swelling will desist, the vibrancy will settle, and the colour will restore to a natural finish.
Even though, yes, it’s a tattoo on your mouth (ouch?), your tattoo artist should use a topical numbing cream that’ll significantly dull your pain. Everyone’s pain threshold is different, but in general, the pain of lip blushing is often described as small pinches or light scratches—nothing unbearable or scary.
While lip blushing lasts around 2-3 years between treatments, the aftercare protocols and best practices are similar to those of a permanent tattoo. The early healing stage lasts for 10-14 days, and your lips should fully heal in around 4 weeks.
Put cotton balls in gum areas so toothbrush will not rub against the lips. No whitening toothpaste (during the healing process). Use a small amount of toothpaste. Take a straw with you to the bathroom to retrieve water to swish with.
About two weeks. Expect pain as well as some bleeding during the process. You might experience more pain with a lip tattoo compared with other areas of the body, such as an arm or leg tattoo. It can take about two weeks for a new tattoo to heal, so be sure you understand all aftercare techniques before leaving the studio.
Lip blushing carries the same side effects and risks of traditional tattooing. Minor side effects are to be expected, though they’ll decrease as your lips heal.
These include swelling, itchiness, rash and scars
Semi-permanent lip liner
Permanent lip liner is simply a gentle form of tattoo that is placed on the lips in order to make lips look fuller, younger, luscious, more symmetrical, better defined as well as slightly more pigmented.
During a lip tattoo session, the tattoo artist will first draw the design you want. They will then trace it onto the desired area of your lips. Using new, sterile needles, your artist will then insert the desired ink colors by making slow, methodical punctures in your skin.
Expect pain as well as some bleeding during the process. You might experience more pain with a lip tattoo compared with other areas of the body, such as an arm or leg tattoo. It can take about two weeks for a new tattoo to heal, so be sure you understand all aftercare techniques before leaving the studio.
with any tattooing procedure, your aftercare routine largely determines how your lips will look in the long term.
Permanent lip liner generally lasts for 3-5 years or longer, before a touch-up is needed to refresh the shape and color.
Keep your lips moist all the times with the aftercare product. After approximately 3 weeks after the procedure when no more scabs are present, discontinue the aftercare product. Begin to apply sunblock appropriate for lips to protect the pigment and a good lip balm.
Keep out of the sun for 7 days after you get your tattoo. FOR LIPS ONLY: Use Aquaphor to keep the tattoo protected while it heals and to soothe any discomfort such as itching or dryness. Avoid applying lip balms, lipstick, or other lip products during this time.
Reactions that have been reported include swelling, cracking, peeling, blistering, and scarring as well as formation of granulomas in the areas of the eyes and lips.
