Permanent makeup
Permanent makeup, also known as permanent cosmetics, derma-pigmentation, micro-pigmentation, semi-permanent makeup and cosmetic tattooing, is a cosmetic technique which employs tattooing techniques to replicate the appearance of traditional makeup, such as for eye liner, eyebrows, and lip color. Permanent makeup is done for both aesthetic and medical purposes, as it is sometimes used after reconstructive surgery.
Permanent makeup has evolved from a tattooing practice to a more widely accepted, sophisticated procedure. It has become very popular, not only because of its cosmetic advantages but also for its convenience and enhancing quality of life. However, it does come with risks. Complications include allergic reactions, migration of pigment, or even infections, which underscore the importance of high-quality materials and skilled technicians.
As permanent makeup gradually gained popularity, its safety concerns, regulatory challenges, and options for removal also attracted attention. Whether selected for restoration, convenience, or other reasons, this technique represents a blend of science, personal care, and aesthetics.
