Permanent Cosmetics
What is it?
Permanent cosmetics, also referred to as micro-pigmentation, is a cosmetic tattooing or dermal pigmentation. It is a process where completely natural pigments are implanted beneath the epidermis (top layer of skin) into the dermal or second layer of skin by micro insertion. The pigments used have been specially formulated for cosmetic application which is not to be compared with traditional tattooing in which permanent skin dyes and inks are placed into the skin.
