Permanent makeup clinicians also use effective topical anesthetics. They also use instruments that are much more delicate in design that provides natural-looking results.
What are the coloring agents used in permanent makeup?
We use safe, coloring pigments. These pigments are made of Iron Oxide that is specially made for the face, Iron Oxide is the base of all make-up, but with Permanent Pigments there are no fragrances, emollients or other ingredients added. Our pigments stay true to color, fading gradually to a lighter shade.

Gradual fading can be expected for all micro-pigmentation procedures. This varies among individuals and is dependent on the specific shade used in the procedure.
