Permanent makeup – this is a salvation for those who do not have the desire, time and energy to do makeup in the morning. But sometimes the desire to save a little time can turn into an unforeseen result. The permanent makeup procedure involves trauma to the skin, because needles are used to inject the pigment. Accordingly, there are risks of side effects. Today Estet-portal will reveal for you the causes of side effects after permanent makeup and talk about ways to help get rid of them.
Side effect: The result was not as expected
This often happens if the master did not make a sketch or did it poorly. Remember that a professional will not allow himself this. The sketch that you are shown should convey the future result as accurately as possible. Therefore, if you do not like what you see on the sketch, either ask the master to redo it, or contact another specialist. Don't fall for the phrases: "Live will be better" or "It's just a picture, in reality everything is different."
Correction: Remover
Removers – These are special preparations that are used to remove pigment. These permanent makeup removers contain acids. Therefore, they should only be used by a trained professional. Be aware that scarring may occur if these drugs are administered incorrectly.
Side effect: Dark pigmentation on the border of the lips
Another common side effect occurs due to the lack of professionalism of the master. On the border of the lips, spots of blue, purple and even black can appear. There are many reasons for this:
- incorrectly selected pigment;
- Wrong tactics for applying pigments;
- too deep injection of pigment;
- using a tattoo machine on the face.
Correction: color correction
If the dark pigment is around the border, then a remover can be used. But to remove pigment from the lips themselves, it is no longer used. To do this, several color correction procedures are carried out.
Side effect: Color bleeds into spots
Most often, this side effect occurs when a gross mistake is made – applying pigment to the outer corner of the eye. This zone does not perceive the pigment well and because of this it can spread and turn into a stain. Also, spots are formed when the pigment is incorrectly injected and enters the blood vessels.
Correction: Neodymium laser
This is one of the most radical ways to remove permanent makeup. It should be noted that the neodymium laser removal procedure is carried out in several stages. On average, it takes up to 5 procedures. The interval between procedures is set by a specialist, on average it is about 8 weeks. It is also worth noting that the laser is used very carefully, because the procedure is quite aggressive and painful. So after it, swelling and pain are possible. Therefore, they resort to its use in extreme cases, when other methods of removal do not help.
Side effect: Scarring
This is perhaps the most difficult side effect that can occur both when applying permanent makeup and during its healing process. There are many reasons for the appearance of scars, among them there are:
- Repeated injury to the same area of skin.
- Inflammatory process that occurs after the procedure.
- Incorrect post-procedure care.
- Skin tendency to form keloid scars.
Correction: resurfacing and laser
Basically, to remove scars that form during the permanent makeup procedure, micro-sanding of the skin is used. But this procedure does not always cope with scars. And then they resort to the help of a laser.
What you should pay attention to
Salon and Master
First of all, you need to look at the recommendations of the salon and the master you are going to. Remember that a quality procedure cannot be cheap. Therefore, if you are offered a breathtaking price, which is several times lower than in other salons, do not be tempted. After all, this may indicate either the unprofessionalism of the master, or cheap and not very high-quality pigments that are used in the work. Equipment Another reason for the cheapness of the procedure may be outdated equipment, which is 30 years old. Remember that high-quality permanent makeup cannot be obtained with such equipment.
It is also worth remembering that permanent makeup should never be done with a tattoo machine, scars can and often remain after it. After all, she has too much power and is not designed to work on the face. Do not forget to pay attention to whether the master uses disposable materials. Gloves, needles, pain masks, etc. – must be opened in front of you and used only for you.
In addition, it is worth asking how often the master disinfects the device for application. Remember that if hygiene is not followed, there is a high chance of infection, and this entails additional problems.
Post-procedure care
Correct post-procedure care is just as important as getting the procedure right. After all, how you take care of the place where permanent makeup is applied will depend on how durable it will be. It is also worth noting that with improper care, side effects may occur, such as tissue scarring or partial removal of pigment during the healing process.
We have told you about the most common side effects that can occur when the permanent makeup procedure is carried out incorrectly and unprofessionally. We hope that you will listen to our advice and if you still decide on this procedure, you will responsibly treat the choice of a salon and a master.
