Many people in Des Moines have turned to low-cost treatments during these times of economic uncertainty, and permanent makeup has emerged as one excellent, budget-friendly cosmetic enhancement.

What a permanent makeup artist can do…

Permanent makeup artists create the illusion of bold features.  Micropigmentation creates perfectly shaped eyebrows, enhances the eyelids with permanent eyeliner, or creates the illusion of fuller, younger-looking lips by ‘filling them in’ with a shade of pink or red.

Unlike a traditional tattoo, the shading is very subtle.  People may notice that you look great, but they won’t know about your micropigmentation procedure.

For pure convenience, permanent makeup shortens the daily ritual of applying makeup before work or other social functions.  Patients say they especially love it in the summer months because it’s waterproof, so their eyes still look attractive and vibrant after activities like swimming or exercising.

To get the best results and minimize risks, you should choose a physician with several years of experience in micropigmentation.  Permanent makeup only requires a topical anesthetic. Healing can take up to two weeks depending on the type of tattoo.
