Taking a permanent cosmetics course can help to give you a broader perspective when it comes to the world of permanent cosmetics. Often referred to as cosmetic tattooing, this form of cosmetics is a specialized technique that involves deposits of colored pigment being placed into the upper reticular layer of the dermis. For those of us with a little less medical terminology training, that simply means the uppermost layer of skin! These types of cosmetics range from permanent eyeliner and eyebrows to lip procedures and everything in between.
Advances in technology have dramatically increased the popularity of and demand for permanent makeup in recent years. Recent advances have also helped these procedures to look more natural once completely healed. And the newest techniques and technology now make these procedures more affordable and readily available then ever before. Taking a permanent cosmetics course will most certainly answer many of the questions you may have about permanent makeup. These questions might include whether or not permanent cosmetics are truly "permanent", if it is safe to receive these types of treatments, and what can be done if the achieved results are not what the client envisioned?
Permanent makeup is commonly thought to last until the end of time. This is a common misconception. Permanent makeup is considered to be "permanent" because it cannot be washed off, not because it will last indefinitely. Fading can and does occur, as with any tattoo. The longevity of the treatment is affected by the client's lifestyle, exposure to the sun, color preferences, and topical products used commonly over treatment areas. Periodic color re-enhancement or color refreshing is the basic maintenance required at some point in order to keep makeup looking optimal in all cases. But before you allow disappointment to creep in at this revelation, consider that perhaps this is not such a bad thing. Each refreshing or re-enhancement is an opportunity to re-evaluate color choices and styles and pursue any changes a client would like to make.
A permanent cosmetics course should also address whether permanent makeup, such as permanent eyeliner is safe. If proper sterilization and disinfection guidelines are strictly followed, permanent makeup is considered extremely safe. If all safety guidelines are properly adhered to all needles should be new and sterile and all machine parts should also be sterile, one-time use. New, disposable gloves and aprons should be worn for each new client. In addition, all chair/bed coverings should be disposable and new for each client. By following a few simple guidelines, permanent makeup can be almost completely safe.
And finally, what can be done if cosmetics results achieved are not what the client had in mind? At first, it may be as simple as the client adjusting to the changes in their appearance. Often times, encouraging the client to be patient is all it takes. Another common reason someone might not like their final result is if a technician did not understand the desired design and color. Even though these types of procedures are generally considered to be permanent, there is still some flexibility in changing color and shape following treatment if your technician is skilled enough. Otherwise, when the technician and client both understand each other well and what the expected outcome will be, the results are often very positive.
A permanent cosmetics course can give you invaluable information about the world of permanent makeup, including permanent eyeliner.
