Who Benefits from Permanent Make-Up?
Men and woman alike can benefit from the application of permanent make-up, though the benefits will be different for each, and will be based largely on their needs, whether as a physical corrective measure, beauty enhancement or simply as a time saver. Here are some common uses for permanent make-up.
Corrective Tattooing
A good number of individuals who opt for permanent make-up do so because of a medically necessitated need, and the natural desire to appear “normal.” For these individuals, the greatest benefit to permanent make-up application is the return of their self-confidence.
Individuals who suffer from specific conditions or treatments that result in hair loss, such as alopecia, Trichotillomania or chemotherapy, will be relieved to recapture the “tromp l’oeil” illusion of facial hair, such as eyebrows or lashes, through subtle eye lining.
Women who have undergone breast reconstruction benefit from micro-pigmentation, which implants color in the skin flap used to recreate a nipple and areola, while women who have undergone breast reduction use micro-pigmentation to help conceal the surgery scars. Micro-pigmentation can also be used to camouflage skin tissue that has been disfigured or scarred, such as correction of scar tissue from a reconstructed cleft palate. Skin that is unevenly pigmented as a result of burns, vitiligo and other diseases of the skin can be corrected with permanent make-up.
Some individuals, who suffer with motor impairment as a result of Multiple Sclerosis, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease or stroke, or simply those with unsteady hands, will benefit from the application of permanent make-up. Individuals, who have hyperopia or nearsightedness, and require eyeglasses for close-up work, can really appreciate permanent make-up – it’s almost impossible to apply eyeliner correctly beneath your glasses. And for those people with skin sensitivities or allergies, the application of permanent make-up can eliminate the itchiness, redness and swelling associated with topical cosmetic applications.
Beauty Enhancement
For some people, permanent make-up is used specifically to enhance what nature gave them, and provides them with the opportunity to look their best 24/7 – there’s tremendous appeal for those women who won’t even leave their bedroom before “fixing” their face. Permanent make-up can even-up asymmetrical lips or eyebrows, and can give women of a certain age a younger and fresher appearance, by defining their lips and eyebrows, and naturally shading lips that lose natural color over the years.
Time Saver
Last but not least, many women with busy lifestyles will appreciate the time savings and convenience of permanent make-up. It’s estimated that the daily 15 minutes wasted applying temporary make-up translates to 90 hours of lost time – that’s more than 5 days a year. What’s more, many women re-apply make-up during the day, especially after bathing, swimming or perspiring after exercise, or simply in the heat of the day.
