Medical Permanent Makeup

Ideal candidates for medical permanent makeup include women with thin lips that desire permanent lip liner and someone who wants to camouflage scars. In addition, patients that have lost their eyelashes or eyebrows due to trauma or medical issues are good candidates for medical permanent makeup or microblading. It is also an ideal treatment for someone that wants to save time in the morning by eliminating the need to apply makeup.

Medical permanent makeup costs depend on the type of makeup used, the amount of tattooing performed and the experience of the cosmetic tattoo specialist. A single procedure costs anywhere from $350-$1200. The cost of microblading runs from $500-$1400.

Patients can expect some mild swelling in the areas that are treated by the specialist. The treated area might appear red or pink and even bleed a little bit before it heals. Microblading results can be seen immediately. The brows might appear to be darker but they will fade by about 30% as time passes. The final results will be seen at around 2 months and last for about a year. The results from medical permanent makeup are visible after the swelling goes down. It can take about a month for the colors to fade a bit. The pigment can fade over time but it normally lasts between 2-3 years.
