Permanent makeup , contour makeup, micropigmentation, tattoo semi permanent, all these terms are synonyms, which do not define different types of procedures or different outcome. All the listed long-term make-up terms do not differ in essence, because it means creating a long-term result. The only difference is the machines and the technique of performance. It is a cosmetologically procedure, the essence of which is to introduce dyes into the skin and create relatively durable contours and mascara.

Because permanent makeup violates the integrity of the skin, this procedure must be carried out in compliance with all hygiene and antiseptic rules, using special equipment for permanent makeup instead of tattoos. Needles should be sterile and disposable, open in the presence of the client. Pigments must not have expired. Permanent makeup can help correct the shape of your eyebrows, eyes or lips, enlarge the lips, give them a rich color, optically enlarge the eyes, make them more expressive.

Differences Between Permanent Makeup And Tattoo

Although the principle of performing permanent make-up and tattoo contours is the same, however, the depth of pigment introduction and the resulting consequences differ. During tattooing with anesthetics , a puncture of up to 2 millimeters is made in the skin with cartridges . The depth of the permanent make-up piercing is from 0.3 to 0.8 millimeters. The pigment is applied only to the upper layer of the skin (epidermis) and does not interfere with nerve endings, therefore, permanent makeup is much less painful than tattooing. The dye does not reach the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, but remains in the epidermis and intercellular space, which is characterized by the ability to “deposit”, i.e. save material. Different pigments are used in tattooing and permanent makeup. Tattoo inks contain synthetic additives therefore, the paint lasts longer, in some cases throughout human life. Permanent make-up pigments have a natural base, close to natural shades, so they last for a shorter time - from 1 to 4 years. Permanent makeup is for eyebrows, lips and eyeliners .
