Bluewater Plastic Surgery & Cosmetic Center offers a state-of-the-art technique of Intradermal Pigmentation, also known as permanent makeup, permanent cosmetics, or micropigmentation. This procedure is a safe, sterile method of implanting organic pigment (color), into the dermal layer, just below the surface of the skin. Used by both men and women alike, there are many advantages to having intradermal pigmentation. Best known for its cosmetic use in creating permanent eyeliner, permanent eyebrows, and permanent lipstick or lip liner, this process has other beneficial applications. It can be the ideal solution for people in any of the following categories:
- Women who keep a busy schedule and want to save time in their morning routine and also avoid having to touch up their makeup during the day.
- Women who are allergic to any of the ingredients used in conventional makeup.
- Individuals who are physically challenged and may have difficulty applying cosmetics to their faces.
- Contact lens wearers or those who have difficulty seeing things up close in order to apply eye makeup.
- Active individuals who are involved in sports and/or physical fitness activities and need makeup that won't smudge, sweat off, or wash off in water.
- Sufferers of Alopecia Areata who lose their eyebrows and eyelashes.
- Burn victims and others who have scars or flaws that discolor the skin.
- Individuals who have asymmetrical facial features and want to have a balanced, more symmetrical face.
- Breast reconstruction patients who want a natural appearing areola on a reconstructed breast.
Recognized professionally by area physicians, our Intradermal Pigmentation Technician, Linda Linares, brings a wealth of expertise to our practice with a background that is both varied and extensive. She specialized her clinical cosmetology education and training, focusing on the application of intradermal pigmentation. Linda maintains her license as an Esthetician, or skin care specialist, and has years of experience as a professional makeup artist. Each area of Linda's experience contributes to her skill as an artist in permanent makeup, a skill that personifies Dr. Clark's practice motto of "…A Beautiful Combination of Art & Science". She is a true artist in her ability to apply color that complements one's features and looks truly natural.
Linda utilizes the manual or hand method of application, which allows for greater control over where pigment is placed. A topical anesthetic will be applied to the area to make the procedure comfortable. Each application of pigment is meticulously applied in order to achieve a soft, natural look. Eyeliner is placed in your eyelash line, making lashes appear thicker and accentuating your eyes. Time is taken to design the perfect brows to suit each individual. Lip liner enhances your natural lip line and is blended in to give your lips a definite shape. Full lip color will give your lips an all-over color. One of the convenient benefits of Intradermal Pigmentation is there is little to no "down time" and normal activities may be resumed immediately following the procedure.
