Permanent makeup (also known as cosmetic tattoos) include the usage of hypoallergenic pigments to help aesthetically improve the shape, color and overall appearance of facial features such as lips, eyes and eyebrows. Unlike regular makeup, permanent makeup will last for many years to come. It is a very popular cosmetic procedure, allowing people to participate in everyday activities, from intense physical workouts to a leisurely swim without worrying about ruining their appearance, which is a common occurrence with normal makeup. It is also helpful for people to mask any imperfections or scars on their lips and eyebrows.

Microblading is a common cosmetic technique that utilizes a thin blade to deposit permanent (and safe) pigments into your skin. The certified technician will draw thin and realistic looking lines (resembling hair strands) to give you a natural look. The makeup will last anywhere from one to three years depending on your skin type, lifestyle and your skincare routine.

Micropigmentation is a new practice. It uses ultra-thin needles to place pigments into the dermal layer of the skin resembling “spots”. Unlike the lines used in microblading, this technique uses dots of color to produce the same effect.

People who meet minimum age requirements and have the ability to heal properly from minor wounds can benefit from the liberating and freeing effects of permanent cosmetics. It is especially valuable to people who can’t wear traditional cosmetics due to allergies and skin sensitivities.

This procedure is especially useful for active people who want to look their best in sports activities such as swimming, hiking, biking, tennis, aerobics and more. It is also ideal for those who don’t want to worry about “sweating off” or reapplying cosmetics on a regular basis. Permanent Cosmetics also benefits those who are visually impaired or those who have physical difficulty applying their cosmetics daily.

Individuals with other conditions such as arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and those who have suffered from a stroke, also greatly benefit from permanent makeup procedures. It can also work well for busy people who don’t have time to spend applying and refreshing makeup throughout their day.

The average cost per procedure slightly varies but usually averages between $400-$800. Advanced work may be charged at a rate of $150 to $250 per hour. The total cost of permanent makeup depends on each step performed. A full permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoo could range from $2000-$10,000 depending on the artist and location/region. 

Similar to getting a tattoo, there is some pain involved. That is the price you pay when you want to look (and feel) a certain way. However, the Cassia PMU machine does generate less of a buzzing sound, allowing for less overall annoyance and irritation for both the client and the artist during the process.

We do recommend using the CP-PMU Needles but feel free to try it with other PMU needles available on the market.

Permanent makeup, like any other tattoo, will begin to fade over long periods of time. Although they generally last 3-years or so, some permanent makeup can last up to 5-years with minimal fading! By the 10-year mark, most of the permanent makeup originally applied would have faded. That’s why periodic touch-ups are highly recommended by professionals. Touch-ups will make the permanent make-up look fresh and neat for longer.
