What
is Permanent Makeup?
|
Permanent makeup is the implantation of pigment into the
dermal layer of skin with a tattoo machine or manual
handtool. Enhancing your natural beauty with permanent
makeup is completely safe and always in style. The width and contour of the lines can be
controlled with placement of pigment that softly enhances the face even when you are not
wearing other makeup.
|
What pigments are used & how are they applied? |
The SPCP provides it's members a list of
safe and high quality pigment manufacturers/suppliers. Some that I am
currently using include, Lasting Impressions, Derma International and
Micropigmentation Center.
The procedure to be done
will determine which pigment line I choose. I am very knowledgeable
about the lines I work with and know how they heal into the skin.
I
am trained in the use of several
machines ranging from "pen type" to Neo-Tat and traditional Coil I
also am fond of the "Hand Method" and incorporate it into almost all
of my procedures.
All needles are single use. Machines and
hand tools are set up in front of the client so they can see the
needle is new and just for their procedure. All needles are disposed
of immediately after the procedure in an approved "Sharps
Container " in accordance to OSHA standard.
I decide which to use for
your special needs , as each person is different.
Permanent make-up has a time
saving benefit of not having to apply make-up everyday. Wake up looking
your best without having to do much more.
Anyone with allergies to
conventional makeup
Anyone with vision
problems
Men and women with hair
loss due to alopicia or have sparse hair growth

What color should I chose? |
When you come in for your
consultation you should wear the make-up that you normally wear on a
daily basis. I will suggest colors that are in that color family.
Pigment colors are chosen to best match the color family of your make
up. An EXACT match to your favorite lipstick or brow pencil is NOT
promised, but the healed result of the pigment chosen will be in that
color family and is usually much like the cosmetics you have shown me.
Permanent make-up should be
thought of as a base that you can always add to with conventional
make-up for a more dramatic look for evening or a special event.
My goal at "Bellafaccia" is
to give you exactly what you ask for. The "natural" look is most
requested. Your features will be defined to your specifications with the
colors you request and what we decide on together.
All boundary lines are shown
to you, before I lay down the first pass, for your approval. If you have
a correction, I make it. Once you give me the go ahead, I lay down the
first pass boundary line.
This is YOUR face and
YOUR procedure!!!
|
Will it always be in style? |
At Bellafaccia our goal is to use colors that are suited to you, not the times. If you
want to change colors in the future, that can be done. You are never locked into a certain
color or certain look forever. At "Bellafaccia" my goal is to use colors that
are suited to you, not the times. If you want to change colors in the
future, that can be done to an extent. By maintaining an "enhanced"
natural look with your permanent make-up, that will always be "in style".
A personal
consultation in my studio is the only way I can give you an
exact quote on the price for the procedure you are seeking.

Just think, you can swim, run, play, sleep, steam and not have your make-up be affected.
Wake up looking great, go to bed looking great and all day in between.
The time saved not having to apply make-up and take it off is amazing.
It’s what you’ve been waiting for all your life!
This is the MOST asked
question!! At "Bellafaccia" I want you to have the most comfortable
procedure possible! I use only the finest in topical anesthetics.
Everyone has a different
experience. Some say it feels like a tickling sensation or
vibration, some say a slight scratching sensation and some feel nothing
at all. I have a lot of clients who fall asleep during their procedure!
The first several hours
after the procedure are accompanied
with minor soreness, but not unbearable.
At your consultation your
monthly cycle is taken in consideration when scheduling your procedure
date. Also, stress can add sensitivity and if you have a stressful
situation arise, you are informed to call and reschedule your procedure
date.
Most procedures are 1 ½ - 2 hours. If you are having more than one procedure done, it
could be 3-4 hours. Your comfort level will be monitored.
|
What happens during the healing period? |
All procedures have a 4-6 week healing period. The area will heal over and the surface
will slough off. The color left behind will be 10 – 50% lighter than when first
applied. As the weeks go by the pigment surfaces and the color stabilizes. At the end of
the healing period you return for a final result photo.
Our number one priority at "Bellafaccia" is your safety! Everything we use is
sterile and sanitary. We do all we can to insure you a safe procedure. Yes, there is
always a risk of infection but it is relatively low compared to other types of procedures.
There might be a small to moderate amount of swelling and some redness at the procedure
area's). This varies greatly from one person to another.
The time line is 6 – 12 hours for eyebrows and 24 – 48 hours for
lip & eyeliner procedures. Once again, everyone is different.
Sterilization and Sanitation
Our number one concern is your safety! We adhere to strict autoclave
sterilization practices, which are according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention Guidelines, for our equipment. Each procedure is done with a pre-packaged
sterilized needle and disposed of after each use.
We assemble our equipment in front of you so you are assured of
cleanliness and safety.
Items that don’t require sterilization are sanitized with hospital
grade disinfectant and or 70% isoprophal alcohol.
Ophthalmologists and physicians medically approve permanent make-up. |
