Advanced Cosmetic & Medical Tattooing (Micropigmentation)

So.. what is Cosmetic Tattooing or Micropigmentation?

Cosmetic Tattooing, also called 'Micropigmentation', is a popular well-tolerated cosmetic treatment involving the controlled insertion of safe colour pigments into the dermis layer of the skin, instantly improving appearance, facial definition and with a long lasting effect. Basically this is a cosmetic treatment that defines your eyes, brows, lips and cheeks with a soft, natural appearance that looks, and stays looking, like perfectly applied make-up or the most subtle of enhancements. All cosmetic tattooing will 'fade', or metabolise, to some degree over time and is due to a number of individual factors. Note; it is not legal in Australia to advertise these procedures as 'permanent'.

Medical Tattooing is often a vital post treatment for patients who have undergone surgical treatments such as brow lifts, face lifts, mastecomy and breast augmentation etc. Numerous cosmetic and plastic surgeons refer their patients to Janesse for her assistance in enhancing various procedures.

Is it right for me?

Everyone, from the young to the elderly, who desire a soft, natural or prominent enhancement to their appearance can benefit. It is especially beneficial to people who:

• Simply want to enhance their current features
• Are unable to apply make-up
• Have poor eyesight
• Are busy and don't have time to spend on their make-up
• Have unsteady hands
• Suffer from allergies
• Are in the entertainment/modelling industry
• Play sport and don't want to worry about 'sweating off' or re-applying make-up
• Have thinning or no eyebrows
• Are Alopecia sufferers
• Just had a facelift or breast operation
• Need to improve scar appearance

Is there discomfort involved?

The sensation can vary from person-to-person. A high quality topical anaesthetic is applied for the eye area procedures or a dental block is generally administered for lip tattooing to significantly reduce discomfort.

Do I need to take time off from work and are there side effects?

If there is any swelling this may last from two to seventy two hours. There may be some tenderness for a few days. The colour may be darker than you would expect for the first 5-10 days. Most people do not need to take time off from their employment for eyebrow or eyeliner procedures - however, it may be advisable to take the day off if having your lips done.

Do I have a choice of colour or intensity?

The range of colours available is almost endless and can be custom tailored to suit every individual's needs. Results can be as understated or as dramatic as you prefer, creating a long lasting look to enhance your natural beauty. Janesse is a qualified colour specialist.

How permanent is it?

Even though this is a semi-permanent process, colour can be modified or changed. It has been known to last for many years but does fade, or metabolise over time and may require maintenance or 'Refresh' visits in the future. Please enquire about future 'refresh' procedures at half price*.
