Avoid Permanent Makeup Disasters

One simple and fool proof way to avoid a permanent makeup disaster is to avoid technicians who claim that permanent makeup is painless on their websites.  These technicians are making a claim that is not permitted by the Society of Permanent Makeup Professionals, SPCP, which monitors websites that bear their seal. 

The SPCP is the largest non-profit professional association in the United States and internationally for the permanent cosmetics industry.  It is dedicated to promoting permanent makeup safety, excellence, and professional standards by providing education, certification, and industry guidelines.  For these reasons, they require certain standards to be maintained by any technician who represents an association with the SPCP on their website.  One standard in particular is that no claim of painlessness is made.

This is because permanent makeup procedures are not without a level of discomfort which must be managed by the technician.  To make such a claim is misleading and dubious.  What you have to ask yourself is; what else is this technician claiming that may not be true?  What kind of talent in creating realistic, even eyebrows does this technician really possess?  What safety measures is she taking to protect my health, safety, and wellbeing?

Choosing a technician with promises of painlessness as part of the enticement is far too risky of an enterprise.  The fact is that the level of discomfort is dependent upon the individual, however; that discomfort can be well managed with anesthetics.  I’ve actually had a woman fall asleep while undergoing a procedure once she was adequately numbed up.

No pain – no gain!  There’s always going to be snake oil salesmen and women in life to watch out for.  You can’t change the world, but you can look good, feel great, and change your world!  With Bellametrics Restorative, Permanent Makeup Arts by Ashley Miller, the results are worth the discomfort!
