Permanent Cosmetics

History

Permanent cosmetics are the future of the beauty industry. Micro pigmentation also known as permanent make-up, cosmetic tattooing or dermagraphic art, is a modern application of hypo-allergenic pigments to create a shadow of colour under the dermal layers of the skin.

We say modern, but in fact this age old art of tattooing has been originally practised since the age of ancient Egypt, India and Africa using plant and nut pigments or ground coals, which were inserted with sharp implements to enhance detail to the surrounding eye and face.

The first Micro-pigmentation treatments were carried out in the U.K during the early eighties. Since that time the pigmentation method, the treatments and the equipment have improved immeasurably with the results that the treatments are perfectly safe and procedures comply with all the requirements of modern day health and safety legislation
.

As this technique becomes increasingly more popular it is ideal for anyone wanting to achieve a natural looking alternative to make-up. The results can be as subtle or dramatic as the client wishes, to create a look that enhances the natural features. Permanent cosmetics can be applied to define or correct eyes, brows or lips, to give a soft natural finish that imitates perfectly applied make up. 


The treatment is ideal to rebalance uneven or scarred lips, and has been successfully used on women who have lost their hair as a result of chemotherapy or alopecia. The benefits of having micro pigmentation are endless.

Machine & Pigment

Machine:

The system that Emalene uses is a computerised permanent cosmetic device which ensures excellent results. One of the special features it offers is individual program settings for each area of application, therefore causing minimal trauma to the skin creating a faster recovery time and a more comfortable treatment. Hair strokes look more natural, lines are sharper and procedure time is reduced. Due to the precision of this machine you can now choose between a lip liner to a full lip blush, powdered to feathered brows and eyelash enhancement to full eyeliner. Some of these treatments are only available with this advanced system.

Pigments:

The Pigment choice made available by Emalene is vast, the pigment contains safe ingredients, and their colour retention and stability is far superior due to the concentrated pigment powders.

Nouveau Contour permanent make-up uses only the best colorants available. The pigment colours are manufactured under the very strict, European regulations. 
The range offers a wide selection of cosmetic and medical colours for eyebrow, lip, eyeliner, areola, camouflage and correction colours to meet every clients needs.

Health & Safety

British health and safety departments have become extremely concerned with the threat of fluid cross-contamination during the use of certain types of permanent cosmetic equipment. The disposable cartridge system used in this machine addresses these concerns as each cartridge is disposed after every treatment.



The disposable needle cartridge contains the needle and the needle “tube”, combined in one disposable cartridge. Internal diaphragms halt and prevent fluid and airborne contaminants from entering the hand piece therefore completely eliminating cross contamination.

Each cartridge is packed separately and sterilised using EO gas to prevent disease transmission. The entire cartridge, which contains the needle is then be disposed off.
