What are Permanent Cosmetics?
Permanent
Cosmetics, also referred to as “micropigmentation, is the sophisticated
process of implanting specially formulated colored pigments into the dermal
layer of the skin. Permanent
cosmetics procedures are performed using various machines and methods.
These procedures are a process, which include a free consultation and two
sessions, the second (“perfecting”) session held 5-8 weeks later (if needed)
to adjust shape, color or density of the pigment. Permanent
makeup is a very affordable way to maintain your beauty and enhance those areas
which you feel need special attention or focus. BEWARE!
In
Michigan, Wayne and Oakland Counties were the only Health Departments regulating
permanent makeup artist licenses and work areas.
In March 2009, Macomb County jumped on board – Thank Goodness!
It is against the law for an individual to perform permanent cosmetics
anywhere but in a licensed facility (this means that someone performing
permanent cosmetics in their home or coming to your home is against the law!).
Please make sure to see your technician’s health department license and
any and all other certificates he/she has. Make
sure your technician has gone to an accredited school by checking the websites
of The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals and/or The American Academy
of Micropigmentation. Please don’t
patronize these individuals who are cutting corners, it may show in your
“permanent cosmetics” and, remember: You
only have ONE face and permanent cosmetics is just what it says it is –
“Permanent!” Make such you
choose your technician wisely before you give them your face to work on.
Look at their portfolio, ask questions!
Do they offer a free consultation, does the price cover an initial and
perfecting session, do they have a website, a brochure or business card?
Where are they performing their procedures.
Do you have a say in the color; in the shape?
This is your face, make sure you have a say in it. You
get what you pay for! You should not
shop around for the cheapest technician, but the most experienced and
knowledgeable, and one who puts forth great effort to maintain pleasant and
professional surroundings in which they conduct their procedures.
I
caution all potential clients to visit The Society of Permanent Cosmetics
Professional website (spcp.org) and The American Academy of Micropigmentation (aam.org)
to find technicians that follow the high standards set by these two
organizations and maintain memberships in these organizations.
These organizations are well-recognized in our industry and are both
nonprofit. Their websites are
accessible from the General Information link on my website homepage.
My
credentials and memberships may be found in the “About
Me” section. I received my
training at one of the finest schools in the country and I invest great time and
expense in continuing education. How to choose your Permanent Cosmetics Technician
