Myths About Semi-Permanent Makeup

Fact: You'll feel glamorous everyday with minimal effort, all thanks to semi-permanent makeup. Why? You don’t have to wake up much earlier to put on makeup or have to find time retouching it in the middle of the day. What’s not to love? But anything that is becoming increasingly popular, curiosity and uncertainty are causing more and more questions. We believe that this can only be good and encourage clients always to ask about any concerns they might have about semi-permanent makeup, regardless of the size or size of their businesses.
You just don't want to find out that you didn't have the results you wished because you didn't ask questions in order for you to get the you wanted! We can't emphasize how essential it is to ensure that before you go on into treatment, you should get all the infomation you need to help you feel confident and secure.  Asking questions and doing your research are also excellent ways to discover the truth and avoid any misconceptions on the grapevine. Here are a few myths people usually have about SPMU:

It’s Only For Women

We could no longer count how many times we keep hearing this. While many would think SPMU treatments are only for women, due to terms like 'cosmetics' and 'makeup,' it is much more fluid than that. SPMU treatment also improves the masculine characteristics naturally or dramatically–whether it transforms the sparse eyebrows from hair loss or redefines the lipline with an alkaline lip blush. A discreet guy-liner, a popular treatment among men, also helps to naturally and subtly improve the vision.

It’s The Same As Cosmetic Surgery

When people talk about SPMU, it can often be interpreted incorrectly, and some individuals believe it is the same thing as cosmetic procedure. While cosmetic operation is a significant component in the beauty industry, the SPMU treatment and cosmetic surgery can not be further apart from one another.
Semi-permanent makeup includes an hygienic clinical configuration, but does not include general anaesthesia or go under the knife. It can change and improve your characteristics, but it is not the same as fillers and any other surgical treatment. To put it simply, SPMU is much less invasive.

It’s Just Like Tattooing

Semi-permanent cosmetics can be called by a lot of names, such as 'semi-permanent makeup', 'cosmetic tattooing', 'micropigmentation', 'microstroking', among others. Cosmetic tattoing happens when a pigment is put into the skin using an instrument. Among these treatment variations, it's still important to do extensive research and make sure you choose the best clinic like Alina Focsan, an expert at the field so you get the specific treatment and results you wanted.

It Hurts!

Another Frequently Asked Question is, "Does it hurt?" Our clients are often pleasantly amazed by how we handle the treatment, allowing them to feel comfortable throughout the process. Eliminating any worries they may have prior to the appointment.
We all have different pain thresholds, of course, but remember that the treatment will always depend on the SPMU professional and the accompanying practices. So it's best to make sure that you trust your choses professional first. For any further discomfort, a numbing cream is always available to minimize pain.

It’s For People Who Have Specific Concerns

A client doesn't need to have medical condition in order to have an SPMU treatment applied. Whether it is cosmetic or not, it can be for every reason you have. Maybe you simply want to improve your natural characteristics or do not want to invest invest in so much time in the morning to get ready. Whatever the reason you have, SPMU treatments can suit you as long as you are confident and secure to go through with it.

It’s Unnatural And Fake-Looking

Semi-permanent makeup has gone a long way with the recent additions to equipments and machinery, pigment selections, and methods— all developed to create genuinely natural results. Specialized hairstroke techniques can be used for eyebrow treatments to create the illusion of a naturally full or defined brow.  For the lips, it's a general opinion that the color may be pretty dark right after the treatment itself, but as it heals, the lip colour will fade to subtlety, creating a enhanced look that doesn't shy away from looking natural. Lastly, one can never underestimate the power of a subtle eyeline. Even if it is a thin line, outlines around the eyes can make your eyes pop!
But the "natural look" is not everyone's cup of tea. You may want colorful winks, spectacular brows or bright lips. Whatever options you choose, at the end of the day it is up to you and semi-permanent cosmetics can generally take your everyday makeup into consideration and imitate it perfectly, making you more efficient with your time.

It’s for ‘Young’ People

We would hear from our mature clients that only the young ones would often care so much about maintaining their look. Thus, leading them towards the SPMU treatment. This is certainly is not the case. Regardless of age, you can look for the ideal treatment most especially for you. An expert like Alina Focsan understands how to adapt certain methods to the mature skin and work with the client, regardless of their age, to achieve desired outcomes.
