The following information is beneficial to share with your clients.
Permanent makeup
Passing it along to your patrons will not only show you are a knowledgeable and credible technician, but it will establish that you care for the well-being of your patients; thus setting the foundation for a comfortable, trusting relationship between you and your clientele.
To Permanent Cosmetics clients:
Schedule a consultation with the technician prior to the actual appointment day. This consultation would most likely be the ideal time to go over all of these safety precautions with your technician.
Ask if the technician uses ‘disposable only’ machine parts. If they do not, make sure she/he has a functioning autoclave and uses a biological indicator test every month. (Autoclaving pressurizes steam heat to kill germ spores. At 121°C, the pressurized steam will kill all spores within 15 minutes; increased pressure and a temperature of 132°C can accomplish sterilization in 4 minutes.) Ask to see spore strip tests from an authorized lab to make sure the autoclave’s results are effective.
Most technicians use totally disposable machine parts. Make sure these ‘Single Use’ and ‘Sterile’ parts are safely disposed of immediately after your procedure.
Manual hand tools must be autoclaved prior to use for optimum sanitation. Used manual needles and/or the complete tool should be disposed of in a biohazard container. There are various hand tools that can be re-autoclaved using a new needle grouping. Technicians should check with their supply company regarding these tools.
Ask the technician if they follow all of OSHA and CDC guidelines. Ask to see their Sharps container and inquire what the proper protocol is concerning the disposal of used needles. All ‘Sharps’ or ‘Biohazard’ containers must be puncture-resistant, leak proof and color-coded or labeled “BIOHAZARD.
Make sure your technician washes their hands vigorously with soap and water and uses a clean pair of disposable gloves before setting up your sterile needle set.
IIPC is a latex-free clinic. If you have any allergies to latex or any other products, be sure to tell your technician at your consultation.
Insist on observing your technician as she or he removes a new needle and machine setup from a sealed pouch immediately before starting your procedure. You should also watch the technician set up a clean cap of pigment, poured directly from the bottle for each of your procedures. Be sure to ask the technician about their use of sterile procedures and isolation techniques. It is the responsibility of the client to observe the technician at work, inquiring about their experience and qualifications.
Be wary of the technician’s office during your consultation visit. If their areas are disorderly and cluttered, you may consider using another technician.
Question the technician on their use of barrier film. This is a clear or blue heavy-duty sheet of plastic that is sticky on one side and will adhere to light fixtures, the tattoo machine, telephone, door handles, or any other article the technician may come in contact with. If the technician does not practice using this product, there could be a transfer of contaminated blood-borne pathogens. All cords and machines should be covered as well.
The technician should never touch their hair, glasses, or other items with a gloved hand. If you observe this happening, you should ask the technician to replace their gloves to prevent any chance of contamination.
Used needles and pigment should NEVER be kept for a client’s future appointment. Pigment contains bodily fluids and bacteria, and it should be disposed of immediately after the procedure is completed.
Clients must sign all of the proper consent forms, as well as forms to confirm that any needles have been properly disposed of in a bio-hazard container immediately following each procedure.
Technicians working in open area beauty salons run the risk of airborne pathogens from acrylic nails, hair products and so on… Remember: permanent cosmetic makeup creates an open wound. Contaminants from the air should be kept to a minimum to ensure a healthy, clean procedure.
All surfaces should be wiped down with a hospital grade disinfectant (ex.Discide) prior to, and immediately following, any procedure application.
Ask the technician to see their current Health Department and Business License.
Ask to see a current certificate from a certified Blood Borne Pathogen and Exposure Control Class or from OHSA.
Ask your technician to see their current portfolio with photos of other clients who underwent the same procedure that you are requesting.
If you are having your permanent eyebrows applied, ask for an ‘Eyebrow Design’ appointment. This appointment should be separate from your consultation. The technician will go over various shapes and colors and what the best eyebrow design for your face will be. At this time, the technician may also wax your brows. If you are not in total agreement with how the permanent makeup procedure looks while drawn on, keep working with the technician until you are satisfied with the design.
On your procedure day, if you are not happy with the drawn on shape of your eyes, lips or brows, do not have the procedure completed. Your technician is there to work with you and give you a great looking procedure. If you do not like how something looks, tell them prior to starting, do not wait until they have started your application and change your mind.
If the technician is a qualified professional, they will have no problems complying with standards above and beyond these simple guidelines. If the technician, or their place of business, does not appear up to these standards, or if they become evasive when questioned, seek out a qualified professional technician.
Permanent Makeup is just that…….. PERMANENT!
Remember the old adage: “You get what you pay for.” If your procedure is less than desirable, you cannot cover your face. Choose your technician wisely, based on their training, professionalism and your judgment of their character.

One of the most frequently asked questions about permanent makeup concerns the matter of pain. The permanent makeup industry has grown dramatically over the last ten years so clearly many people have been willing to do whatever it takes to make their life easier and more stress free. Luckily there are now many products the permanent makeup technician can use that will reduce the pain of any and all procedures. Digital permanent makeup machineshow:
When thinking about it, most people assume permanent eyeliner is the most painful procedure. This is not the reality. There are topical, over the counter anesthetics that knowledgeable permanent makeup technicians use regularly. The technician can and should start with a pre-procedure anesthetic that is placed on the eyeliner with a Q-tip and then occluded with a film or wrap anywhere from 10-20 minutes, depending on the product. This will limit the pain associated with the first needle pass.
Once the skin is broken, some of the most dramatic advances in the US market have to do with over the counter epinephrine products. 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.
In the past, a few technicians used EMLA for their pre-procedure work. This is a prescription product that should not be used unless the work is being done in a doctor’s office under the doctor’s license. Some over the counter anesthetics now on the market are made specifically for the permanent makeup and tattoo industries, so generally they work as well or better than EMLA. Ask the technician what type of anesthetics they will be using.
Any discomfort associated with a permanent eyebrow procedure is also reduced by use of the same anesthetic system.
Permanent lip work is the most painful procedure but well worth the effort. The freedom from not having to wear lipstick while exercising, going out in public and for any time where it might be a hassle, makes permanent lip color a wonderful service to consider. This requires more skill on the part of the technician. While a beginner can do permanent eyeliner and brows, lip work takes more experience. When asking about the technician’s experience, also ask what they do for pain reduction.
The same system whereby the technician uses both a pre-procedure anesthetic and a broken skin anesthetic that has epinephrine is mandatory to get pain reduction. The epinephrine product will reduce the swelling and bleeding which is very important with lip work. It also helps if the technician uses some type of mouth guard when doing this work.
If the permanent lip work is done in conjunction with a doctor or dentist, they may be able to inject clients with a local anesthetic prior to the lip work. This can be beneficial in pain reduction. However local anesthetic shots from doctors are not commonly done for eyeliner or eyebrow work since it is not necessary and the injection may cause more problems than it solves.
All forms of permanent makeup can save valuable time from not having to apply topical makeup. Any small amount of discomfort a person feels from having the work done will soon be forgotten while the reduction in stress will remain. In the busy life of the multi-tasking woman of the 21st century, this is a wonderful benefit.
Permanentcosmeticmakeup is easiest described as cosmetictattooing. The specialised techniques used for permanentcosmetics are often referred to as “micro-pigmentation”, “micro-pigment implantation” or “derma-graphics”. The cosmeticimplantationtechniquedepositscolouredpigmentintothe upper reticular layer of the dermis (skin). Also see “Is this Permanent Makeup for Me?”.
How are Permanent Cosmetic Procedures Performed?
Permanentcosmeticsprocedures are performed using various devices including the traditionaltattoocoilmachine, the pen or rotarymachine (includes the digitalrotarymachine), and the non-machine or hand device. The process includes a consultation, the application (implantation) of pigment, and at least one follow up visit for the evaluation of healing and pigment colour.
Who can benefit from Permanent Makeup?
Permanentmakeup can be of benefit to the young and old. People who suffer from skinallergiesandsensitivities and who cannot wear traditional makeup as a result, find permanentcosmeticprocedures especially useful. Active people who like to look their best whilst partaking in activities like swimming, hiking, biking, tennis, aerobics, or any other activity that leads to the “sweating off” and reapplying of makeup also benefit from permanentmakeup. Permanentcosmetics is of further value to visually challenged individuals who find it difficult to apply makeup and to others who suffer from dexterity related conditions like Arthritis, Parkinson’s Disease, MultipleSclerosis, and strokes.If you meet the age requirements and have the ability to heal from minor wounds, permanentmakeup can be beneficial to you.
What type of Permanent Cosmetic procedures can be done?
Permanentcosmeticprocedures can have a subtle or dramatic effect, depending on your requirements. Procedures include:
E Eyebrows
Eyeliner, Top and Bottom
Lip liner, Lip Colour, and/or Blend
Scar Camouflage
Beauty Marks
Hair Imitation
Lash Enhancement
Areola Re-pigmentation
PLEASE NOTE that some of these procedures use more advanced techniques (para-medical techniques) and thus require an experienced technician with advanced training.
Are Permanent Cosmetics really permanent?
Permanentcosmeticprocedures are considered permanent because pigmentistattooedintothe upper reticular part of the dermal layer of the skin and thus, cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo or colorant (pigment) in general, fading can and often does occur. This result is periodic maintenance referred to as colourre-enhancement or colourrefreshing being required. The scientific structure of pigments and the requirement for periodic refreshing is identical to that of tinted hair colour; faded material on furniture that may be located near a window which is subject to sun exposure; or house paint that is exposed to the sun and other environmental elements.Periodic maintenance is a good opportunity to re-evaluate one’s colour and design preferences. Whilst the concept of “permanent” may seem like a perfectly good idea, ones’ tastes and style changes with time. The fact that most people will require periodic colourrefreshment of their permanentcosmetics is the opportune time to, in conjunction with your technician, re-evaluate your overall appearance profile and decide whether any changes would be appropriate in accordance thereto.The longevity of permanentcosmetics varies from person to person depending on life style – sun exposure, the colour/s used for the permanentcosmeticprocedure, and also the topical products applied to the skin.
How Much does Permanent Makeup Cost?
Permanentmakeupprocedures vary in cost, but on average, expenditure should be between R1 200 and R 2 800 per procedure.Advanced work may be charged at R 800 to R 1 000 per hour. These procedures are commonly referred to as para-medical procedures.
How Long Does Each Procedure Take?
Initial procedures generally take around 2 to 2 ½ hours. The initial procedure involves a fair amount of record taking; photographs need to be taken; desired design and colour options need to be discussed; the actual procedure needs to be performed; and the aftercare requirements discussed. Follow up or colour refresher procedures do not usually require the same amount of time.
Is Permanent Cosmetic Procedures Painful?
Most people experience some discomfort. This severity of the discomfort varies in accordance with each individual’s pain threshold. Various topical anaesthetics have been developed for the permanentcosmetics industry which does help to minimise discomfort. Your technician should discuss the methods available with you to determine which is most appropriate for your specific procedure and pain threshold.To put this into perspective: thousands of bodyarttattoos are performed annually, possibly millions. As a rule, traditional tattooprofessionals do not use any anaesthetics for their tattooprocedures. Anaesthetics for permanentcosmetics are more of a tattoo service luxury because of the nature of the tattoo location and the fact that permanentcosmetics falls into the beautytreatment category.Also see “Does Permanent Makeup Hurt?”
Is It Safe?
If proper sterilization and disinfection guidelines are met, permanentcosmetics are completely safe. Professionals in the permanentcosmetics industry routinely attend Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) classes. The guidelines that get taught at these classes include (but are not limited to) the following.IMPORTANT! Things to look out for:
Only new and sterile needles should be used for each client. New, sterile needles should be opened in your presence.
Disposable sterilized one-time use machine parts should be purchased by the artist and disposed of in a sharps container immediately after the procedure has been completed.
Personal protection equipment such as disposable one-time use aprons and gloves should be new for each client and changed during the procedure if needed.
The technician should be clean and neat.
Disposable one-time use chair/bed covering should be new for each client.
The room or treatment area should be in an area free from other contaminants. The SPCP whom is affiliated with PCASA has taken a position against permanentcosmeticprocedures conducted at trade shows and in salons where nail dust, aerosols or other chemicals are present.
Also see “Permanent Makeup Tattooing and The Truth” and “What Should I Expect?“
What If I Don’t Like It?
Although the procedure is considered permanent, these procedures do have flexibility in changing colour and shape to some extent, depending on the expertise of your technician. Keep in mind that colours will appear darker immediately following the procedure but will soften and lighten during the healing process. The healing time is different for each individual and each procedure. It is very important to realize that often the new procedure represents something somewhat different; at times colour where there was no colour at all or very little. It takes time to get use to a new look. Very often this applies to eyebrows which were sparse and unnoticeable before the permanentcosmeticbrowprocedure. Eyeliner colour is more evident due to the contrast to the skin colour. Lip colour can take up to six weeks to reflect the final colour. Be patient.After the procedure has healed and you are able to form an objective opinion about the outcome, the only reason for not liking your permanentcosmetics would be if you chose your technician poorly. Take note of the following when selecting your technician:
If you cannot communicate with your technician, it is possible that your desires will not be realized.
If your technician recognizes your requests, but does not take your desires for colour or design into account, you should not proceed with the procedure.
Don’t request eyebrowcolour based on your tinted scalp hair colour. That is subject to change and it may affect how you then feel about the colour of your permanent cosmetic eyebrows. Eyebrowcolour should be selected based on the undertone of your skin and the colour of your eyebrow hair (if any).
Most well-trained technicians will not perform a procedure if the design and/or colour requested by the client is not reasonable. If your requests are turned down by one or more technicians, re-think what you are asking for.
Permanentcosmetics are not easily removed. Make good decisions up front. You can enjoy the liberation permanentcosmetics provides when you do your research and choose a qualified professional that you work well with.
Which Technician Should I Choose?
Choose a technician carefully by considering the individual’s training, experience, compliance with local laws, and the technician’s “before and after” photograph portfolio. It is important to remember that the shape and proper placement of the procedure is as important as the right colour. Professionals have studied colour theory and skin undertones which results in the colour requested. Unskilled people who have not pursued the required education do not have the knowledge required to translate pigment colour to skin to achieve the desired outcome.The preferred look is obtained during the course of consultation, initial procedure and follow-up appointment(s). Interaction between the client and the technician is of utmost importance.
Is Permanent Cosmetic Makeup a Career For Me?
The opportunities for skilled Permanent Cosmetics technicians are impressive. Career and business opportunities will however vary depending on location and the individual technician’s training and skill level. Many nurses and a few doctors, as well as hair, skin, and nail care professionals are choosing to train in permanent cosmetics.
Are There Any Side Effects During or After the Procedure?
While eyebrows may show little after effect, eyeliner and lips may show slight to moderate swelling. This is very dependent upon the amount of work performed. As examples; an eyelashenhancement will show very little response to the tattooingprocedure compared to a more moderate response when wide eyeliner is performed. The same applies to lip colour procedures. A lip liner or blended lip liner will show less effects of the procedure than that of a full lip colour. Also, some people swell more from minor skin infractions than others.During the procedure there may be some minor bleeding. This again, is client specific. Many people take blood thinners on a daily basis so some slight bleeding would be expected. Others show little or no signs of bleeding. Bruising is rare but again, if a person is on blood thinners, bruising could occur. Eyebrows rarely, if ever produce any bruising whilst minor bruising during eyeliner procedures is possible if the skin being tattooed is very thin and close to the vascular system. This also applies to lipprocedures in the event of a client being more mature. If bruising does occur, it is typically minor and subsides in a few days.There is usually some tenderness for a few days. The colour is much darker than you may expect for the first six to ten days.
Other less often reported side effects are difficult to determine due to the individuality of each person’s biological system. This is why professionalpermanentcosmetictechnicians require a client history profile to assess different factors that may contribute to your experience after the tattooingprocedure has been completed.
Do The Pigments Pose Allergy Problems?
People can develop an allergy to anything, at any time. However, pigment allergies are considered rare. Some doctors recommend that people with environmental allergies or allergies to conventional makeup have permanentcosmeticprocedures because they can eliminate the need for cosmetic products that people are sensitive to. Ask your technician if they use pigments that are formulated from powders taken from the FDA’s Food Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) listings. Although the FDA does not at this time approve or disapprove tattoopigments, the SPCP considers pigments formulated from the FD&C listing the safest origin of pigment powders for permanentcosmetic pigment formulations. Also PCASA and SPCP pigment suppliers are required to list the ingredients on their pigment labels.
Is There Any Possibility for Medical Problems?
With today’s health standards, the possibility that you would have any problems or reactions from these procedures is almost non-existent. PCASA member professionals are given continued opportunities for education in practicing precise methods of disinfection and sterilization. Post procedural instructions, if followed carefully, will greatly reduce any risk. Medical problems associated with permanentcosmetics are often linked to poor attention to the required aftercare process on behalf of the client.Choose a time for procedures when you feel confident you can follow the simple, but very important after care instructions
What’s a Touch-Up and Do I Need One?
Often the tattooed colour is not perfect after the initial procedure heals. Permanentcosmeticprocedures are a process and at least one follow-up to the initial procedure should be scheduled. It is recommended that any required detail work to the original procedure be performed no sooner than four weeks after the original procedure. The minimum standard for follow-up detail work for lipprocedures is six weeks. Lips have a different healing agenda than procedures performed on other parts of the face due to their delicate nature.The cited time frames will vary depending on the health profile and age of the client, but these are good minimum standards for consideration.
Can I Still Have an MRI Scan?
Numerous studies have shown that even for people who have large body tattoos there is little to no potential for irritation resulting from an MRI. In the rare instance where discomfort resulted, it was localized and very temporary. However, with that said, it is prudent to advise your MRI technician that you have permanent cosmetics.

Common procedures
Eyebrows
Are you eyebrow challenged? Are your eyebrows sparse due to over tweezing or a medical condition? Do you have little or no eyebrow hair? Do you find it difficult to put them on without your glasses, but your glasses are in the way? Does the drawn on design come out crooked or uneven? Do your pencilled brows wear off during the day? For these reasons and many, many more, women are finding permanentcosmeticeyebrows a liberating procedure.
From providing a basic guideline for you to follow, should you like to pencil them yourself, to total brow recreation, your technician can create anything from a few hair strokes to dramatic fully coloured brows that even your closest friends won’t believe aren’t your own.
As with any artistic appearance enhancement service, techniques will vary from technician to technician. The process cited below are popular techniques used but not necessarily followed exactly, by all permanentcosmeticprofessionals.
If you wear eyebrowpencil, your technician may ask you to wear your pencilled eyebrows to the consultation the way you would like them to appear after the cosmetic tattoo has healed. Or, you may be asked to bring a pictorial representation of the preferred eyebrow design. If you have been asked to wear your eyebrows drawn in, or to bring in pictorial examples, your permanentcosmeticprofessional will advise you if the example(s) are age and style appropriate for permanentcosmeticeyebrows.
The skin is cleaned with an appropriate cleanser. Some technicians apply an anaesthetic before the cosmetictattoo process and some do not. After the anaesthetic has taken effect and removed, the eyebrows are drawn on with an eyebrow pencil that has been disinfected prior to use.
It is very important that you and the permanentcosmeticprofessional you choose have a good verbal communication relationship. As the client, you must convey details of your design and colour preferences and the technician must understand these preferences and translate them over to tattooingartistictechniques.
Before any cosmetictattooing commences, the client is given the opportunity to approve the design that will become permanent. The template is maintained in a variety of different manners depending on the technician you are working with. The worktable will be assembled with one-time-use accessories, a sterilized needle will be opened, the needle assembled into the device and the procedure begins.
They eyebrowdesign which has been approved by the client is tattooed on. Some technicians provide breaks during the cosmetictattooingprocess to allow the client to sit up and take stock of how the design tattooing process is proceeding. Anaesthetic may or may not be used throughout the procedure. This is technician specific.
When the permanenteyebrow procedure has been completed, aftercare instructions are normally provided. Some technicians provide products if any are referred to in the instructions. A follow up appointment is normally scheduled in four to eight weeks depending on the age of the client, to determine how the eyebrowprocedure healed and if any further work is needed.
Your life now becomes more carefree and convenient. You will likely find yourself participating in more activities and feeling more confident about your appearance under all circumstances.
Eyeliner
Is eyeliner important to your appearance and feeling of self confidence? Does your eyeliner smudge? Does it wear off during the day? Do you have trouble getting it straight or even? Are you allergic to cosmetic products or your allergies causing you to re-apply several times a day? Maybe your job requires that you go make-up free. If so… Permanenteyelinerprocedures, also known as permanentcosmetics, permanentmakeup, cosmetictattooing, and micro–pigmentation could be perfect for you.
Eyeliner can be applied in many styles and colours, from soft, natural-looking lash enhancement to a defined line–the choice is yours! Some people feel both upper and lower eyeliner suits their needs best, while others feel only an upper or a lower eyeliner is appropriate. Whatever look you choose, you will wake up, shower, exercise, work, swim, and go to bed always looking your best. No more tattle tale eyeliner smear or smudge during the day, no more concern when participating in sports activities and best, your appearance remains consistently fresh appearing throughout the day and night.
As with any artisticappearanceenhancement service, techniques will vary from technician to technician. Your permanentcosmeticprofessional may ask you to wear your eyeliner to the consultation the way you would like it to appear after the cosmetictattoo has healed. Or, you may be asked to bring a pictorial representation of the preferred eyelinerdesign. Your technician will advise you if the example(s) are age and style appropriate for permanentcosmeticeyeliner.
The actual cosmeticeyeliner process varies, as there are numerous devices that prevent cross contamination that the permanentcosmeticprofessional may use. The choices are the coilmachine, the lineardevice (the Neo Tat), the digitalrotaries, the PermanentCosmeticpenrotaries and the manual device. All, when used in accordance with OccupationalSafetyandHealthAdministration (OSHA) BloodbornePathogens guidelines, are safe. You may ask to see the attendance certificate indicating your technician has attended an OSHABloodbornePathogens class. If there is permit, registration, or licensing required in your area, you should also look for the appropriate documents, which are required to be posted in plain sight, to ensure the cosmetictattooartist is compliant with state and local laws.
Some technicians will use a pre-procedure anaesthetic, some do not. If a pre-procedure anaesthetic is used and the technician is not a physician or working under the direction of a physician, it will be an over-the-counter (OTC) level anaesthetic which has proved to be quite effective. If you are working with an SPCP member technician, the anaesthetic is likely to be provided by an SPCP supplier member who ensures anaesthetic OTC contents levels are well within the limits of the law. The same applies to anaesthetics used during the permanenteyelinerprocedure.
The work table will be assembled with one-time-use accessories. If a pre-procedure anaesthetic was applied, it is removed in a timely manner in accordance with manufacturer instructions, a sterilized needle will be opened, the needle assembled into the device and the procedure begins.
Typically, OTC eye products (eyewash, eye drops, etc.) are used throughout the permanenteyelinerprocedure.
Aftercare instructions are normally provided and some technicians provide products if any are called out in the instructions.
A follow up appointment is normally scheduled in four to eight weeks, depending on the age of the client to determine how the eyelinerprocedure healed and if any further work is needed.
Lipliner
Are you tired of refreshing your lip liner and/or lipstick several times during the day? Do the current all day lipstick brands make your lips dry or chapped? Would you like a professional opinion regarding the appearance of your lips and what can be accomplished with permanent cosmetics toward a more symmetric and fuller appearance? Is your inventory of lipsticks getting financially out of hand and a burden to keep fresh and environmentally clean? Are you aware that in 2004 the FDA banned cow brains in lipsticks due to mad cow disease? One has to wonder what else is in this pretty container that we would not find attractive if we were just made aware. Do you wish you had some of the natural colouring you had when you were younger? If so, permanentcosmeticlipliner is for you!
A natural appearing permanentcosmeticlipliner can be applied to give more definition, correctunevenlips, which will result in a fuller appearance. The procedure also helps preventlipstickfrombleeding and can minimize the appearance of wrinkles.
Fulllipcolour can be applied in either a natural hue or a more vivid one. Wear your permanentlipcolour alone in a natural tone or apply different shades of lipstick over your permanentlipcolour for those occasions when you prefer a more dramatic look. You will find that the colour lasts much longer when applied over permanentcosmeticlipcolour.
Because the colouring and shape of the natural lip is unpredictable, it is common for a technician to request you attend a consultation before an appointment for the actual procedure is scheduled. At the consultation, your colour and shape objectives and probability of success with permanentcosmetic pigments and techniques will be discussed. Permanentcosmeticprofessionals typically ask if you have ever had a cold sore or fever blister on the lips and if so what seems to be the trigger to this condition. If your answer to this question is “yes,” you will in all likelihood be requested to speak to your medical provider regarding a medication formulated specifically for a breakout, an antiviral medication.
If you and the consulting technician have agreed to go forward and schedule an appointment, the technician may suggest the timing does not coincide with any important events. Lips appear very vibrant for a few days after the initial procedure and dryness associated with the healing process requires the application of a moisturizing product. As with any artisticappearanceenhancement service, techniques will vary from technician to technician.
The actual permanentcosmeticlipprocedure varies as there are numerous devices that prevent cross contamination that technicians may use. The choices are the coilmachine, the lineardevice (the NeoTat), the digitalrotarymachines, the permanentcosmeticpenrotaries, and the manual device.

If you are working with an SPCP member technician, the anaesthetic is likely to be supplied by an SPCP supplier member who ensures anaesthetic OTC contents levels are well within the limits of the law. The same would apply to anaesthetics used during the permanent cosmetic lip procedure.
The work table will be assembled with one-time-use accessories. If a pre-procedure anaesthetic was applied, it is removed in a timely manner in accordance with manufacturer instructions, a sterilized needle will be opened, the needle assembled into the device and the procedure begins.
Aftercare instructions are normally provided and some technicians provide products if any are called out in the instructions.
A follow up appointment is normally scheduled in four to eight weeks, depending on the age of the client, to determine how the liptattooprocedure healed and if any further work is needed.
Other Permanent Cosmetic Procedures
Some clients have specialty needs and interests beyond the standard eyebrows, eyeliner and lipcolouration. There are many other PermanentCosmeticprocedures available.
Camouflaging can take two different courses. Either a traditional tattoo can be applied over the discoloration or scar or the skin can be re-toned to more closely match the surrounding area.
Re-colouration is most successful on those areas not exposed to the daylight on a regular basis. The surrounding skin will change colour from UV exposure, even if protected by sun block, but the tattooed area will not change with it.
Applying a traditional artistic design over a scarred or discoloured area is the other option. As tattooing has become mainstream many more people are turning to this method to convert something that bothers them, into a work of beauty and art.
Potential clients must remember that these are advanced procedures and they need to feel very comfortable with the skill level of their technician. Feel free to ask questions: Have they done this sort of procedure before? Do they have photos available of their finished work? Have they taken advanced continuing education courses in the specialty area you are considering and do they have certificates to substantiate this?
