What is MicroArt?

MicroArt semi-permanent makeup is the most advanced form of permanent makeup. It has been created by our team of electronic engineers, cosmetic biochemists, and Founder Hollywood special effects makeup artist and filmmaker, Tanya York.

The goal was to develop a makeup procedure that would last for years on the skin, look more natural than traditional makeup, and eliminate the side effects of other forms of permanent makeup.  No other permanent cosmetics method can achieve results as natural as MicroArt without downtime or side effects.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MICROART & PERMANENT MAKEUP/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 start to sag the ink end 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.

MICROART CHANGES LIVES

Our clients no longer worry about vitiligo, a common concern among those with skin disorders. They never have to use vitiligo cover-up makeup or concealers that don’t match but smudge onto clothing, make a mess, and wear off. Our clients never worry about what clothes to wear to cover their vitiligo. They never have to sacrifice activities that they love due to embarrassment. Our clients feel better, become far more confident once their vitiligo is no longer visible.

VITILIGO TREATMENT FOR YOUR HANDS

Having vitiligo on the hands can be very disturbing for our clients, as makeup does not stay on to cover it, and light treatments do not work well on hands. We treat a lot of vitiligo on hands, and the results are life-changing.  Lidocaine (numbing) injections to prevent any pain or discomfort are required when we are treating hands, as they are naturally sensitive with more nerve endings in the skin. Lidocaine injections (at a modest additional cost) must be pre-scheduled.

VITILIGO TREATMENT OF YOUR FACE

The face is the 2nd most common area that we treat for vitiligo. Even though it can be covered with makeup, applying makeup is quite time-consuming. It rarely matches well, requiring the entire face and throat to be covered. And then you are constantly worried about it wearing off or sweating off, requiring reapplications throughout the day, as well as anxiety that it smudges onto your clothes or your friends’ bathroom towels. For male clients, it’s even harder as they usually do not wear makeup to cover.

VITILIGO TREATMENT FOR YOUR BODY

MicroArt can be applied anywhere on the body except the genitals. Common areas that we treat are wrists, underarms, elbows, shins, knees, and feet.  Far too many of our new clients have never worn shorts for the embarrassment of their knees, nor short-sleeve shirts for their elbows, nor sandals for their feet. Enjoy the confidence you will feel to wear any clothes you desire, anytime, anywhere.

VITILIGO TREATMENT FOR YOUR MIND

Imagine your skin looking perfectly natural 24/7, no visible sign of vitiligo, whether stepping out of an ocean or pool soaking wet, crossing the finish line after a summer 10K run, coming off a hot tennis court right after a sweaty match, or after a romantic afternoon.

The freedom. The confidence. The peace of mind is achieved with MicroArt.

MicroArt

MicroArt Semi Permanent Makeup® is the most advanced form of cosmetic tattooing, achieving the most natural results without any side effects.

There is NO downtime, NO bruising, NO scabbing, NO scarring.

MicroArt equipment uses an acupuncture needle as thin as a human hair that vibrates on the outer layer of the skin 80 to 100 times per second. The results are precise. Colors are custom-blended with non-toxic mineral-based pigments. Our Artist customizes the design to fit each patient’s look and desires. It takes about 1 year to train a Micro-Artist to perform the procedure. The results are incredibly natural.

Other Techniques

Permanent makeup is applied using heavy-gauge needles or a blade to penetrate deep into the skin, causing bleeding, bruising, scabbing, scarring, and downtime.  Other techniques use tattoo inks that are toxic to the body; colors are harsh and change in the skin over time. So people can end up with blue/grey and orange inks in the skin.  Permanent makeup often accentuates signs of aging. Over time, the ink moves as the skin stretches and ends up in the wrong place.

Permanent makeup artists’ training is only a few days. The equipment & products used all contribute to the harsh look associated with permanent makeup and microblading.

The goal is to match the color, over the course of your treatments, so that no one can tell that you ever had vitiligo.

Color matching is achieved through the series of sessions during which the color is evaluated and your custom color mix is fine-tuned as needed. About two weeks after each procedure, the skin exfoliates and the color settles in so we re-evaluate and adjust in a subsequent session as needed.

Colors are custom-blended for each area to match your skin tones. Pigments are non-toxic and sourced from natural minerals. We have never had a single allergic reaction to any of our products. Pigment is deposited into the white areas of the skin using proprietary equipment that houses a single acupuncture needle (the width of a human hair) that gently vibrates on the outer layers of the skin. The vibration deposits pigment into the skin until the desired color is achieved. Your MicroArt technician evaluates the skin at the beginning of each session and custom-blends a color to match your natural skin tone best. Your treatment, the custom pigment blends, is meticulously charted and photographed for future sessions and reference.

Initially, 4 sessions, 4 weeks apart, are needed. During each session, more pigment is added to the skin in thin layers, gradually changing the color of the skin and blending it with your natural skin color. You see instant results after each session. Each vitiligo camouflage treatment is unique, so the number of sessions needed to obtain the desired results will vary based on each client’s situation.

There will be some irritation right after your treatment. This calms down and disappears in 3-10 days after each treatment. The number of irritation varies depending on a number of factors,  the general health of the client,  what area of the body was worked on, and how much pigment was applied.  After a few days, the skin will slightly exfoliate and the pigment settles in.

It is important that you use the  MicroArt after-care products provided for 7 days after each session and no makeup or other products should be worn on the area for 7 days after each session.

Most clients choose to maintain the work we did for them.

However, maintenance appointments are optional and not required.  If you do not maintain MicroArt, it will completely fade away over time so it’s not something that requires maintaining.

Each client’s maintenance schedule is different based on the area of the body and how fast the skin exfoliates. Some clients come in every few months for touch-up sessions while others every 1-2 years.

We do not recommend that you continue doing any other treatments once you have decided on MicroArt Camouflage.

MicroArt is your final solution and you will not need any other treatment as we can fully camouflage the desired area leaving lasers unnecessary.

The level of discomfort varies from person to person, depending on what area of the body is being camouflaged, especially for those with an autoimmune disease like vitiligo. We always use a strong topical numbing cream. MicroArt uses a single acupuncture needle (the width of a single human hair) that gently vibrates on the outer layers of the skin, so discomfort is minimal.

Lidocaine (numbing) injections to prevent any pain or discomfort are available if needed. However, they are required when we are working on hands as they are naturally sensitive with more nerve endings in the skin. Lidocaine injections, at an additional cost, must be pre-scheduled so that our doctor or nurse is available to administer them. When scheduling a session of three hours or more in a single appointment, regardless of the area of skin being treated, numbing injections are recommended but not required.

  • Arrive at your appointment 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment, well rested and relaxed.
  • If you wear makeup on the area that is being camouflaged.  Please remove it prior to your appointment so that you can get the most out of the time during your session.
  • Please do not wear light-colored clothing over the area that will be camouflaged as the skin might sweat a little pigment afterward.

Lidocaine injections can be provided if scheduled in advance. They are administered by a nurse or doctor who is scheduled on certain days. There is an additional cost for injections. Please call for current prices.

Lidocaine injections are mandatory when we work on hands, as they are very sensitive. All other areas are at your discretion.

When your skin tans, pigment applied to the skin will not change color or tan with the surrounding skin.

We advise our vitiligo clients to maintain a constant skin color throughout the year so that their MicroArt makeup will maintain the best color match for as long as possible. However, some clients will schedule a maintenance appointment around the time that they get a tan in early summer so that we can match their MicroArt to that tanned skin color. As the tan lightens up a bit during the winter, MicroArt will gradually fade a little so that it will also lighten up.

We do not work on genitals or men or women.

This is the only was that we do not work on.

Any area outside the underpants can be camouflaged.

Salt Water or chlorine does NOT affect the results or how long it lasts. It will not change the color of your pigments.

You will see the results right away! After each session, the pigment will appear more intense and will lighten up in time for your next session, where we add more pigment. After each session, the color fades less until the color is matched and blended. Your skin will be a little red and irritated between 3-10 days after each appointment. Like a sunburn. No makeup or skin care products can be used on this area for 7 days. After 7 days, you can use your normal products again.

MicroArt typically lasts up to 3 years on the skin if not maintained, though this varies somewhat individually, and is an excellent way to visibly treat vitiligo. During that time, it will gradually fade. Most clients choose to maintain by coming in for a touch-up session every six months to once per year or two, depending on their skin. With maintenance sessions, your vitiligo will never be seen again.
