A Brief History of Permanent Cosmetics
Cosmetic tattooing first became popular in 1984, when Dr. Geora Angres published his now famous landmark article on the use of eyelash tattooing to create an eyeliner effect for cosmetic purposes. In the 1990s, states began regulating permanent cosmetics and today more than 15,000 technicians are practicing world-wide. In the US, one in four women has a tattoo and 8 million have permanent cosmetics.
Safety and Comfort Concerns
Modern pigments that contain inert organic and inorganic compounds remain stable when implanted into the skin, are hypo-allergenic, fade-resistant and are MRI-safe because they do not contain ferromagnetics or heavy metals such as iron oxides. With the use of topical anesthetic creams, there is very little discomfort. Infections or allergic reactions are very rare. However, a small spot test can be requested if you are concerned.
Some Permanent Cosmetic Options
Your natural eyebrows can be a basic guideline to follow for penciling-in or can be a total brow re-creation. Anything from a few hair strokes to fill those sparse spots or scarred areas to fully colored brows can be created and cost between $250 to $750.
Eyeliner can be applied in many styles, widths and colors, from a natural looking lash enhancement to a defined line, and costs $250 to $750. Mucosal liner really opens up the eyes and can cost $300 to $500.
