What Exactly Is Permanent Makeup?

Despite the name, most permanent makeup treatments last about one year, giving you months of reduced time in front of the mirror while enhancing your lips, brows, eyeliner, and overall complexion.

Results vary depending on the treatment, your skin type, and sun exposure. With proper aftercare—including daily sun protection and regular use of a high-quality moisturizer—you can help extend the life of your results. At Avante MediSpa, we guide our clients in The Woodlands and Greater Houston on the best skincare practices to maintain their beautiful results.

Types of Permanent Makeup

The most common types of permanent makeup are spray tans, permanent eyeliner, ombre lip tattoos, and microblading. In this section, we’ll explore each service in detail while explaining how they can help you save time while overcoming a variety of skin issues.

Permanent Eyeliner

Permanent Eyeliner (Top and Bottom)

Perhaps the most popular example of intradermal pigmentation is permanent eyeliner. This can be applied to both the top and bottom of the eye using strokes of varying thicknesses. Some clients want a more subtle look that merely complements their features and skin tone; others want a more dramatic look that will have them looking fully made up the second they awake.

At Avante MediSpa, we work hard to provide the best permanent eyeliner services in Houston and The Woodlands. Our team of technicians is not only well-trained, but they all take great care in ensuring our clients get exactly the look they want at every visit.

Benefits of Permanent Eyeliner Services

  • Resistant to Sweat and Smudging: Permanent eyeliner is ideal for active women who are tired of struggling with waterproof, smudge-resistant makeup that doesn’t stand up to their daily activities.
  • Long-Lasting Results: When treated properly, eyeliner will last for about one year. This can even be extended with the use of special moisturizers and SPF sun protectants.
  • Useful for Health Conditions: Many people suffer from health conditions that make applying makeup to the eye area dangerous. With permanent eyeliner, they can leave the task to a trained professional.
  • Great for Busy Gals: Not every woman has the time to do a full makeup routine every single time they take a shower. With permanent eyeliner, they can look their best while saving plenty of time getting ready in the mornings.
  • Permanent Touch-Ups: Women who use makeup to correct perceived imbalances or spots can use permanent eyeliner to make these solutions last years at a time.
  • Perfect for Allergy Sufferers: Women who are allergic to many common types of eyeliner may be particularly sensitive around the eye area. Permanent eyeliner provides them with a stunning alternative that they can tailor to their own needs.

Tattoos

Ombre Lip Tattoos

Fuller, more well-defined lips are something that will likely never go out of style. However, not all of us are blessed with the plump pink lips of your average movie star. This is where ombre lip tattooing can be a lifesaver (not to mention a budget saver). Not a “tattoo” in the technical sense, it involves depositing tiny bits of mineral-based coloring onto the lips. The process requires a fair amount of skill, as it is important to carefully define the lip edges and feather the color in as naturally as possible. It’s also worth noting that the initial results are far more dramatic than what you’ll see when the lips finally heal.

At Avante MediSpa, our team consults with you to decide on the proper shape and contour of your new Ombre Lip tattoo. We know that lips are not “one size fits all,” and providing a custom look is just one of the reasons why we’re one of the top lip tattoo providers in Greater Houston.

Benefits of Ombre Lip Tattoos

  • Long-Lasting: The color, shape, and definition improvements you get from your ombre lip tattoo will last for about one year depending on sun exposure, skin type, and how well you protect the results. To perfect the results, touch-ups are usually required two to three months after the initial procedure.
  • Easy to Care For: The most common side effects are swelling, itching, and redness. You’ll be asked to avoid direct sunlight and exercise for several weeks after the treatment, but you can return to your normal routine soon after.
  • The Results Are Impressive: Though many people think that ombre tattoos add fullness to the lips, they actually only make them appear fuller through the improvement in color and contour.
  • Shorter Makeup Routine: An Ombre tattoo can virtually eliminate your need for a lip liner pencil, as your borders will be clearly defined already. You also don’t have to worry about any more smudging or smearing throughout the day!

Microblading

Microblading is considered the best method for long-term eyebrow enhancement. Like ombre tattooing, the process involves depositing small amounts of pigment into the uppermost layer of skin, this time using a very fine blade. The end results are extremely natural-looking, as each hair-fine stroke is specifically designed to look like the real thing!

Benefits of Microblading

  • No Loss of Pigment or Definition: Thickening your eyebrows or dyeing them a darker color will fade eventually, leaving you with an uneven appearance. Microblading on the other hand, will maintain an even look from treatment to treatment.
  • No More Makeup: After your first microblading session, you can all but throw your eyebrow pencil in the trash. Your color and shape will remain in place whether you’re fresh out of the pool or have just woken up.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Each microblading treatment will last for about one year depending on your skin type, sun exposure, and what sort of products you use to protect the results.
