Laura Foglia - Permanent Make Up And Art

No matter the time of the day, or your activity! Just waking up? Are you exercising? Maybe swimming? After Yoga class……Or maybe doing some gardening? It doesn’t matter! Your eyebrows and eyeliners will always look perfect…. Enhancing your natural beauty!!!! What is Micro Pigmentation? Is the action of implementing pigment into the dermis layer of the skin with micro gauge needles. People familiar with tattoos will recognize the process. Although the machine used for Permanent Make Up is a lot smaller and lighter and easier to handle. The pigments are different too….. They are harmless, safe and inactive; don’t last as long as the inks used for regular tattoos…. We definitely don’t want to apply the same pigments on our face…. Is it dangerous? Like with any other tattoo, the skin can react in different ways. Some inflammation, redness, and even some bleeding are normal. The pigments I use are an inorganic combination of iron, titanium and chromium oxides in a glycerin and witch hazel base. Some colors will contain certified organic lakes. They are produced in California, USA, following high standards. I take very seriously all the sterilizing procedures. The needles are in a sealed pack, one use only. In rare cases, an infection could happen. In that case, a visit to your doctor is recommended, informing your technician about your problem. The proper post care will help a good healing process. I will provide instruction sheet and post care balm. Does it hurt? I use a topical anesthetic which works beautifully. You will feel some discomfort …. You are actually having a needle very close to your eyes!!! But, believe me…. You will feel some tickling, and awkward sensations…. But no pain …. I will apply the topic anesthetic as needed to assure your comfort. What do I have to know about micro pigmentation? Once you get the appointment, we will sit down and talk about what you want to have done. After knowing a little bit about your life style, health status, and some make up preferences, I will suggest colors and shapes that would match your skin type, hair color and face shape using an eye brow pencil. After your TOTAL approval, I will proceed with the tattooing process. Pictures will be taken before and after procedures. I always suggest to take several hours off your daily routine for the appointment…. It is a long process…. And we don’t want to rush it…. It is better to relax and take it easy…. After finishing, I will apply and antibiotic ointment. (Just a one time application). And instruction sheet and a post care balm will be provided for you to take home. We will discuss what to do and what not to do during the healing process. A second appointment (4 to 5 weeks later) will be scheduled for a touch up session. Because every skin is different, and we don’t really know how pigments behave in each skin type, I will correct and apply the final touches to accomplish the perfect look we want to achieve. How long does it last? It is very difficult to say….. It depends on your skin type, Micro pigmentation technic, life style (sun exposure reduces the life span and changes the colors of the pigments); some facial treatments and creams can affect the pigments too…. But, I would say that easily could last a couple of years…. Probably needing some revitalization of the color….. Many women are so use to not to have eyebrows….. It is sometimes difficult to get use to the new look…. That’s why I always suggest a very conservative approach…. It is always possible to darken and to make a thicker line but not to reduce it….. The touch up session is there for a reason and it is included in the price. Don’t be afraid to contact us and get a consultation. You will be totally happy with the results!!! How to know if you are a good candidate for Micro Pigmentation? If you are tired of your lack of eyebrows, or they are starting to thin up, or wanting to reduce the time you spend in front of the mirror before going out… or you are an active person and don’t want to keep dealing with runny make up…… Then, you are the perfect candidate!!! Micro Pigmentation procedures have being created for all kind of women….. You don’t need to be a tattoo lover. Actually is particularly helpful for non-tattoo lovers!!!! We offer an alternative to make life a bit easier, to cope with situations in life and help us to enhance our inner beauty.
