Permanent makeup

Permanent makeup also known as cosmetic tattooing or micro pigmentation is a cosmetic procedure which uses certain pigments to create the look one would normally achieve with various makeup products. The most frequent makeup options done are lip color tattoos and eyebrow tattoos. It is used to give defined and prominent brows and color filling of the lip.

How is Permanent Makeup done?
With a single-use disposable needle, a tattoo machine, and special cosmetic tattoo ink, a trained aesthetician injects the ink into the dermis i.e. the central layer of the skin, below the epidermis. This doesn’t inject the ink quite as deep into the skin as a traditional tattoo machine, which means that permanent makeup does not last as long as an average tattoo.

Who can get it done?
While everyone can consider getting permanent make up done, there are certain people who are highly advised to go for it.
1. People with hair loss in eyebrows since birth, due to aging or due to various causes like alopecia areata, hormonal problems like thyroid, nutritional deficiencies or post-trauma where the scar is present over eyebrows or post-chemotherapy where eyebrow hair is affected.

2. People with dark lips genetically or due to other causes like excessive smoking etc.

3. Anyone who would like to cut down on the hassle of doing everyday makes up.

How long does the Permanent Makeup last? 
Most people require a touch up after 2 weeks for long-lasting results. It requires retouching after 9 to 12 months time to make it last longer. 

Common Types of Permanent Makeup 

• Permanent Lip Colour 
• Permanent Eyebrows

Before the Procedure 
The shape of the brow and color of the lip is decided according to age, gender, skin tone, and frequency of makeup in daily life. The natural shape of your lips and structure of brow bone are also taken into consideration.

During the Procedure 
In case of eyebrows, a shape is first drawn with a skin pencil. Preparation of the area includes numbing the area with topical anesthesia and then individual strokes are used to follow the pattern of natural eyebrow hair. This is followed by the application of the pigment, leaving it on for 10 minutes to let the skin absorb the pigment completely.

What to expect after Permanent Makeup?
As you finally have made up your mind to go for cosmetic tattooing, you might also want to learn what to expect after the procedure.
The area you have had tattooed might be swollen, especially the day after the procedure.
After two or three days, the skin might begin to flake, peel or scab. This should end after a day or two.

Aftercare & Maintenance
Following proper aftercare is just as important as the skill of the person performing it to give the best results of defining the brows and lip color.

• Avoid touching the area as much as possible, except for when cleaning.
• Avoid Sun exposure. 
• Avoid using soap for a few days.
• Do not pick at the tattoo, even if the skin over it begins to peel or crust.
• For the first week, avoid applying anything except the antibiotic cream as prescribed.
• Do not go swimming, and avoid excessive sweating for the first week.
• Avoid taking hot or very warm foods for at least 2 hours after permanent lip color.

Is Permanent Makeup safe? 
As long as you take necessary precautions, you will get phenomenal results and the procedure is completely safe.

People who should not have Permanent Makeup done

• Anyone suffering from immunosuppressive illnesses like HIV.
• People with keloidal tendencies.
• People suffering from active herpes.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Benefits of Permanent Makeup 

• Less invasive.

• Saves time to define brows every time you get ready

Always approach a skilled professional for the procedure and the safest option is to take the advice of a dermatologist before proceeding with this treatment.

Permanent Makeup in Delhi – Cosmetic Tattooing for Eyebrows & Lips at Dadu Medical Centre

Think about how much time goes into getting ready every single morning. Drawing and filling the eyebrows, applying lip color, and making sure everything looks even and defined before stepping out for many people, this is a daily routine that takes real time and effort. And the frustration does not stop there. By midday, the color fades, the brow product smudges, and you are back to retouching all over again. For people dealing with sparse or absent eyebrows due to hair loss, alopecia, thyroid issues, or chemotherapy, and for those living with naturally dark or pigmented lips, the challenge is even more personal. If any of this sounds familiar, permanent makeup treatment in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre may be exactly the kind of long-term solution you have been looking for one that saves you time, restores your confidence, and gives you a consistently well-groomed look every single day without any daily effort.

Permanent makeup is also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation. It is a procedure where specially formulated cosmetic pigments are carefully deposited into the skin to recreate the look that people would normally achieve using daily makeup products. The most commonly done procedures are permanent eyebrow tattoos, which give the brows a defined, full, and natural-looking shape, and permanent lip color, which restores a natural-looking color and definition to the lips. The technique involves using a fine, single-use disposable needle attached to a tattoo machine to introduce cosmetic-grade ink into the dermis the layer of skin just below the surface. Because the ink is placed at a shallower level compared to a regular body tattoo, the results are long-lasting but not as permanent as traditional tattooing, which means the color naturally softens over time without becoming harsh or unnatural looking.

At Dadu Medical Centre, one of the most trusted clinics in Delhi for cosmetic procedures, this treatment is performed under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Nivedita Dadu, one of the most experienced doctors in Delhi in the field of cosmetic dermatology. Before any procedure is carried out, a thorough consultation is done to understand the patient's requirements, facial structure, skin tone, and daily makeup habits. For eyebrows, the ideal shape is decided based on the natural brow bone structure, facial symmetry, gender, age, and how much or how little makeup the person typically uses in daily life. For lips, the natural shape of the lips and the desired color outcome are carefully discussed. This personalization is what ensures that the results look natural, proportionate, and flattering not overdone or artificial.

The procedure itself follows a clear and comfortable process. For eyebrows, the desired shape is first drawn on the skin with a marking pencil so both the patient and the practitioner can confirm it before any ink is applied. The area is then numbed with a topical anaesthetic cream to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible. Individual hair-like strokes are then made to follow the pattern of natural eyebrow hair, and cosmetic pigment is applied and left on for a brief period to allow the skin to absorb it properly. The result is eyebrows that look full, defined, and completely natural not drawn on or blocky. For lip color, a similar numbing process is followed, and the pigment is applied to give the lips a defined border and a natural, even color that does not fade or smudge throughout the day.

After the procedure, some mild swelling in the treated area is completely normal, especially in the first day or two. The skin may also begin to flake or peel slightly after two to three days as part of the natural healing process this typically resolves quickly on its own. A touch-up session is usually recommended after approximately two weeks for the best possible long-term result. After that, the makeup generally stays looking good for nine to twelve months before a light refresh session may be needed to maintain its appearance. The aftercare is simple and straightforward: avoid touching the area unnecessarily, stay out of the sun, avoid soap on the treated area for a few days, do not pick at the skin if it peels, skip swimming and excessive sweating for the first week, and avoid very hot foods for a couple of hours after a lip color procedure.

Permanent makeup is especially recommended for people who have lost eyebrow hair due to conditions like alopecia areata, hormonal disorders such as thyroid problems, nutritional deficiencies, scar tissue from trauma or injury over the brow area, or post-chemotherapy hair loss. It is equally beneficial for anyone with genetically dark or pigmented lips, those who smoke and have noticed lip darkening over time, and any working professional or busy individual who simply wants to reduce their daily makeup routine and wake up looking polished and put-together. You can visit Dadu Medical Centre at Vasant Vihar in South Delhi or Rajouri Garden in West Delhi for a consultation with Dr. Nivedita Dadu's team before booking your procedure.
