Imagine looking polished and groomed first thing in the morning, and maintaining that look after a dip in the pool or a workout session. Think about a renewed sense of self for a vitiligo patient or a breast cancer survivor. These are just a few of the possibilities with permanent makeup at Carr Dermatology in Sugar Land, TX.
Permanent Makeup Vs. Microblading
Permanent makeup is a delicate cosmetic tattooing method, sometime referred to as micro-pigmentation. It is used to enhance facial features and skin color, and to disguise scars and pigmentation irregularities.
Microblading is a perfect alternative to Permanent Make-up for the eyebrows. Microblading can give a more natural looking result when trying to reconstruct, redefine, cover gaps, or filling in over-plucked eyebrows. Microblading is performed using a special pen to implant individual hair strokes. This technique is great for someone that is looking to have the results last temporarily. Microblading can last around 1 year before needing a touch-up compared to permanent make-up which can last 2-10 years. The most exciting thing about microblading is it gives a more natural appearance to eyebrows. If you are looking for a temporary and natural look than microblading is for you!
Microblading - Before & After
Treatment Areas
Lips – Lip liner or full micropigmentation for enhanced shape, definition, and color. Permanent liner helps to avoid the appearance of lipstick bleed into fine lines around the mouth.
Eyebrows – For a lush, full appearance and flattering shape, that doesn’t wash off or have to be reapplied daily.
Eyeliner – Bold and expressive, or dots of pigment placed delicately between lashes for a subtle boost. The choice is yours.
Areola reconstruction – To deepen natural nipple color, or for repigmentation of the nipple area after breast reconstruction.
Scars and small areas – Our certified medical assistant can match scars and areas of lost pigmentation to surrounding skin color. This treatment is important for the emotional well-being of those who have suffered burns, vitiligo, or scarring.
