Thinking about how amazing it would be to roll out of bed already looking polished and fresh? At Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery (PVPS), we understand that busy lifestyles demand beauty solutions that go the distance. That’s why permanent makeup has become one of our most requested services, blending artistry with precision to deliver stunning, long-lasting results.
Let’s explore what you need to know about permanent makeup treatments and why they’re worth considering for your beauty routine.
What Is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup, sometimes called contouring permanent makeup, is a semi-permanent micro-pigmentation technique (similar to cosmetic tattooing) that uses fine needles to implant pigment beneath the skin's surface. This can enhance features like eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips, creating the look of applied makeup without the daily effort.
It’s essential to note the difference between semi-permanent and permanent makeup. While the term "permanent makeup" is widely used, the pigments used are designed to fade gradually over time, typically lasting between 1 to 5 years. This fading is intentional, allowing adjustments as trends and personal preferences change.
Why Use Permanent Makeup?
There are many reasons why clients turn to permanent makeup, including:
- Convenience: Skip the morning makeup routine and wake up looking polished.
- Consistency: Maintain a flawless look all day, every day, without smudging or fading.
- Accessibility: Ideal for individuals with allergies to traditional cosmetics or those with motor difficulties who find applying makeup challenging.
- Customization: Work with a skilled professional to select the perfect shape, shade, and style that complements your unique features.
Popular Permanent Makeup Treatments
At PVPS, we offer a range of permanent makeup treatments, with one of the most popular being microblading—a precise, hair-stroke technique for fuller, more defined eyebrows. Other treatments include permanent eyeliner, lip tinting, and beauty mark creation, each tailored to enhance your natural beauty.
Your Appointment and What to Expect
During your visit, you’ll spend about two hours selecting your perfect style and shade. Our experienced specialist, Alison, will guide you every step of the way.
To ensure the best possible outcome, follow these preparation tips:
- Avoid chemical peels, Retinol, or Botox for at least a month before your appointment
- Stay out of direct sunlight and tanning beds
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
- Skip your morning workout on the day of treatment
You can expect some mild swelling and puffiness initially, but within 7–10 days, these effects will subside. Final results typically reveal themselves within two weeks, leaving you with beautifully enhanced features that fit your lifestyle.
