TOP 10 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MICROART

 AND OTHER FORMS OF PERMANENT MAKEUP INCLUDING MICROBLADING

Permanent makeup is applied using heavy gauge needles or a blade to penetrate deep into the skin causing bleeding, bruising, scabbing, scarring, and downtime.  Permanent makeup uses various forms of tattoo inks that are toxic to the body; its colors are harsh and change over time. So people can end up with blue or orange inks in the skin.  Another issue with permanent makeup is that as our skin ages and starts to sag the ink ends up in the wrong place so it actually accentuates the signs of aging. Permanent makeup artists’ training is only a few days. Their minimal training and the equipment & products used all contribute to the harsh look associated with permanent makeup and microblading.  The best way to fix is with MicroArt. MicroArt Semi Permanent makeup®, on the other hand, has the most natural results. There is NO downtime, NO bruising, NO scabbing, NO scarring.  Because MicroArt technology uses an acupuncture needle as thin as a human hair that vibrates on the dermal layer of the skin 80 to 100 times per second, the results are precise. Colors are custom blended with non-toxic mineral-based pigments. The design is customized to fit each patient’s look and desires by our Artist. It takes about 1 year to train a Micro-Artist to perform the procedure. The results are amazing. To learn more about the differences between MicroArt and other forms of permanent makeup.

#1: THE RESULTS

MicroArt™:
Delivers far more natural results than permanent makeup. After a few years, you’ll have the opportunity to retouch the pigments as needed.  The results are natural and youthful that look so real that no one will know you have had anything done. Its so natural in appearance that even men wear it.

Permanent Makeup:

Often results in a harsh and unnatural look that you will end up being  stuck with. Results often include hair loss, scaring, colors that change over time.

#2: THE PROCEDURE

MicroArt™ Eyebrows:

Each pair of eyebrows are custom designed to achieve the optimal look, focusing attention on the eyes. Individual hairs are layered onto the skin, creating perfect results.

MicroArt™ Eyeliner:

Precisely placed in the lashes, creating a fuller more natural appearance.

MicroArt™ Lips:

Lips are shaped, lined and the color is enhanced and blended.

Solid, unnatural line, colors often change, can only be corrected with laser removal or MicroArt’s camouflaging techniques.

#3: THE EQUIPMENT

MicroArt™: 

State-of-the-art technology. This level of precision is obtained by equipment created exclusively by MicroArt that costs over $70,000.

MicroArt technology uses a single acupuncture needle as thin as a human hair that vibrates on the dermal layer of the skin 80 to 100 times per second. Therefore the results are extremely precise.  As the acupuncture needle gently vibrates on the outer layer of the skin MicroArt’s nontoxic mineral-based pigments are absorbed.

Permanent Makeup:

Uses standard tattoo equipment, which is available to purchase by anyone without training for $200 and up. Needle: 3 -14 heavy gauge needles are used simultaneously to aggressively puncture the skin.

Because permanent makeup uses a standard tattoo gun, the process of penetrating deep into the skin to place these inks, which are often toxic, will often cause bleeding, bruising, scabbing, scarring and down time. This makes the procedure painful and the results harsh and unnatural in appearance.

#4: THE PRODUCTS

MicroArt™:

Only the finest medical grade products are used, sourced from all over the world. MicroArts pigments have been developed by cosmetic biochemist for MicroArt to eliminate the color changes that tend to happen using other forms of inks or pigments.  Pigments are mineral based, non-toxic which cost much more than tattoo or permanent makeup inks. There has never been an allergic reaction to any MicroArt pigment. They are commercially manufactured in Europe.

Permanent Makeup:

Due to the low cost of permanent makeup lower quality products are used. Permanent makeup inks are inexpensive, sometimes toxic, can cause allergic reactions and often fade to orange, blue and green which can actually accentuate the signs of aging.

#5: THE PAIN

MicroArt™:

Micro Artist’s work full time performing MicroArt therefore very experienced at color, design and all aspects of this art form.

Permanent Makeup:

Most are  non-regulated by the health department with little formal training. They are Self evaluated with no continued education or licensing required.

Permanent makeup artist usually only work part time and their primary services that they provide are usually not permanent makeup so they do not have much experience.

Permanent Makeup:
Can be toxic and result in allergic reactions. The colors are unnatural and change over time into green, orange or blue. Usually on the eyeliner, black inks change to blue or green.
