How long will my color last?

Cats: Permanent Makeup| 1 Comment »

 

 
 
I wish I had a quick and easy answer to this question, but the truth is there are just too many factors to take into consideration.
 
Let’s back up. First, all permanent makeup colors fade over time. This is to be expected. Lighter colors will fade sooner than a medium or dark shade.
 
The sun is the enemy to permanent makeup and to all pigment color for that matter. Wearing sunscreen, hats and sunglasses will help preserve your makeup color. However, if you spend a lot of time outdoors, even with these precautions, you will require more frequent touch-ups.
 
The second enemy to permanent makeup is anti-aging skin care products that promote rapid exfoliation such as alpha hydroxyls, retinolic acid (Retin-A) and glycol products. All are wonderful for the skin, they just should not be applied to areas that have been re-pigmented with permanent makeup color, as they will slowly fade it away.
 
Now, let’s talk about the skin before permanent makeup is applied. The healthier the skin, the longer the color will last. Sadly, many of us grew up in a time where our definition of sunscreen was baby oil. Yes, I know that the ozone did exist back then, but still…our skin does have some (hopefully) minimal, permanent sun damage that affects the dermal layer. This happens to be the section of the skin where the color needs to be implanted. Simply stated, the healthier this layer, the better the color retention. Other factors such as smoking and certain medications will compromise the integrity of the dermis as well. So there you have it, there really is no quick and easy answer to the question…"How long will my color last?”
 
When the color does fade to a lighter shade, a simple touch up in my office will make your color look brand new. Remember, permanent makeup is a low not no maintenance procedure.

Get your legs ready for summer with sclerotherapy at NaturaLook Medical

Cats: Uncategorized| No Comments »

 

NaturaLook Medical doesn’t just specialize in Permanent Cosmetics. Some of our other services include tissue fillers like, Botox and Restylane, Blu Light Acne Treatment, and leg vein therapy, also known as sclerotherapy.

Sclerotherapy is a simple procedure that helps remove spider veins (small purple and red blood vessels). The veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to fade from view with relatively no pain. Typical treatments last about 30 minutes. It may also help eliminate symptoms associated with spider veins, including burning, aching and swelling.

This technique has been used in Europe for more than 50 years. Patients have no downtime and can resume work and all normal activities immediately following treatments. It is a safe, time-proven method and an excellent alternative to surgery or laser treatments, which can be painful and uncomfortable.

So get your legs ready for the warm weather and beach life. Wear your shorts and swimsuits with pride this summer. Consider sclerotherapy at NaturaLook, to improve the appearance of your legs. Complimentary consultations.
 

Permanent Eyeliner-Advanced Custom Smudged Designs

Cats: Uncategorized| 1 Comment »

Attempting to create a beautiful, lasting “smudged” look with permanent makeup is one of my most challenging procedures. To make matters even more intense, my clients’ expectations seem to be the highest with this particular procedure.

Over the years, I have perfected a “color washing” technique that is specifically unique to my practice here at NaturaLook in La Jolla, CA. This difficult, yet delicate technique of layered, multi-colors implanted on the eyelid has quickly become the most sought after procedure in my San Diego practice.

Unlike, traditional permanent eyeliner where pigment is tattooed in the lash line, color wash liner is achieved by implanted 3-4 layers of graduated custom shades in a “washed” fashion up the eyelid. Oftentimes this process will require more than one visit to achieve that smoky, smudged look that so many women design with conventional makeup.

Permanent cosmetic makeup (micropigmentation) has come a long way over the past 10 years from pigments, machines and designs.  It truly is a unique art that takes years of dedication and practice.
