Now you can make a lasting difference in your appearance simply and safely.

What could be better than waking up in the morning knowing you look as beautiful as you did before you closed your eyes? Permanent makeup allows you to look your best every minute of the day and night. No “putting on your face”, no evening “touch ups”. With permanent makeup you look fabulous no matter what time it is or what you’re doing.

Permanent makeup is an asset to time-crunched professionals, sports and outdoors enthusiasts, those with poor eyesight or unsteady hands, allergies or sensitivities to cosmetics, contact wearers, and people who work in environments where makeup is not allowed. Permanent makeup enhances and emphasizes your own natural beauty.
A specialized form of cosmetic tattooing, permanent makeup is used to enhance and correct facial features by permanently implanting pigment within the skin. The techniques we use at Radiant Skin Clinic are medically proven, specifically designed to be completely safe, and artfully applied

What are Permanent Cosmetics?

Also called “permanent makeup” and “cosmetic tattooing”, it is the placement of pigment just beneath the epidermis of the skin. Although the effects of aging, surgeries and sun exposure may alter the pigment’s appearance over time, it is permanent. For this reason, “refresher” appointments may be appropriate every few years to keep your makeup looking its best.

Permanent Eyeliner And Permanent Eyelash Enhancements
No more wiggly lines or smudges, wake up with a dash of color and dramatic, perfectly-lined eyes every morning. Permanent eyeliner can give you big, beautiful, attention-getting eyes. Pair it with an eyelash enhancement for lush, full lashes.

Permanent Eyebrows
The brow line frames your face and the right eyebrows can remove years from your appearance. We can thicken thin eyebrows, change their shape, correct over-tweezed brows, and create beautiful brows where none exist due to aging, chemotherapy or Alopecia (hair loss). With permanent makeup you can have the perfect expressive arch you’ve always wanted.

Permanent Lip Color And Permanent Lip Liner
Full, luscious, lips are yours with permanent cosmetics. Emphasize your lips with permanent lip liner or get the perfect, sexy cupid’s bow you’ve always dreamed of. Avoid the mess of lipstick with permanent lip color. Minimize wrinkles and prevent unsightly lipstick bleed-through or give narrow lips a plumped up look. Whether you go dramatic or natural, permanent lip liner and permanent lip color will give your lips an elegant, finished look all day, every day.

What to Expect:

It is important to discuss your lifestyle and expectations with your technician prior to having permanent cosmetics.

Immediately FOLLOWING application
The procedures result in visible redness, some swelling and occasional bruising. The application of ice to the area can help reduce these symptoms.

Up to one week AFTER application:
Most swelling and tenderness will be gone. There will be peeling of the skin, and sloughing off of the pigment trapped in the epidermis. As the skin heals, the color will continue to change for the next few weeks.

Two months FOLLOWING application:
Healing is complete. You may add to or adjust your procedure to best suit your lifestyle. The application of sunscreen and good sun sense will help preserve your makeup for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?
Although everyone’s pain sensitivity varies, the application of permanent makeup involves minor discomfort when topical anesthetics are used during the application.

Is the procedure safe?
Your safety and comfort are our highest concern. Permanent cosmetics are applied using the highest sanitation and sterilization standards available. Sterile, single-use needles are used with every client. Your certified professional is gloved at all times during the procedure.

Are the pigments safe?
Pigments used in permanent cosmetics have an extensive record of safety. Used in both medical and artistic fields for over 20 years, their safety is undisputed!

How long does a procedure take?
Although the length of the procedures may vary, as well as the number of visits required, most procedures generally take less than 1 1/2 hours each.

Can I change it?
Although shape variations and color adjustments can be made, think of your makeup as permanent. If you desire to change your “look” from time to time, the use of topical makeup is more appropriate. Permanent cosmetics are truly from “here to eternity.” This is their appeal.

Is it easy to remove?
No. Although lasers have aided in the removal of brows and eyeliner, lips require a different approach, as lasers tend to darken pigment in those areas rather than remove it.

Are permanent cosmetics right for you?

Ask your permanent cosmetics professional if you are an appropriate candidate. If you have sparse eyebrows, uneven and pale lips, or wear eyeliner everyday, this may be for you.

Permanent cosmetics may not be appropriate for the person who desires to change their look often, is contemplating facial reconstructive surgery, or is a “sun worshiper” or tanning booth advocate, or has a chronic medical challenge.

As with any procedure which invades the skin, there are risks and benefits. Discuss these with your professional, and review your medical history with them prior to making the decision to have permanent cosmetics applied.
