Permanent Makeup Services

Essentials Skin Care in Madison offers permanent makeup options for eyebrows and eyelids. This specialized technique is considered cosmetic tattooing for anyone who desires a natural look to their appearance. 

Who benefits from permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup is available for anyone who desires a natural enhancement to their appearance.

It is especially beneficial for people who can't wear other cosmetics due to allergies and skin sensitivities, and for active sports enthusiasts who want to look their best without reapplying cosmetics.

People whose vision makes it difficult to apply cosmetics, those with medical conditions that cause unsteady hands, or others who cannot conveniently apply their own makeup all benefit from permanent makeup.

What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup is cosmetic tattooing. The specialized techniques used for permanent cosmetics deposit colored pigment into the dermis layer of the skin.

How is the procedure performed?

Permanent makeup procedures are performed using machine and hand methods. The process includes an initial consultation, then application of pigment, and a follow up visit for adjusting the shape and color or density of the pigment.

Is permanent makeup really permanent?

Permanent makeup procedures are considered permanent because the color is implanted in the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, like all tattoos, fading can and often does occur, so periodic color refreshing may be needed.

How long does each procedure take?

The initial procedure will generally take up to 2½ hours. Touch-up procedures will take less time.

How much does permanent makeup cost at Essentials Skin Care?

Consultation - Complimentary

Area Cost
Eyeliner Top $275
Eyeliner Bottom $275
Eyebrows $450
Additional Follow-up $50 for 30 minutes

Costs include consultation visit and post-procedure follow up visit. Applications are completed in one session plus follow-up. Additional touch-ups will be discussed with the aethetician and cost will be determined at that time.

Are permanent makeup procedures painful?

Most people experience some discomfort. This may vary according to each individual's pain threshold. However, topical anesthetic ointments are used to help with discomfort.

Is permanent makeup safe?

At Essentials, we follow the proper sterilization and sanitary guidelines to ensure the permanent makeup application is completely safe.

Are there any after or side effects?

Generally, there is some swelling of the treated area. While eyebrows may show little after effect, eyeliner and lips may show more and swelling may last up to two to three days. During the procedure there may be some bleeding and or bruising. There is usually some tenderness for a few days. The color is much darker than you may expect for the first six to 10 days.
