In one day, you can give the missing volume to your lips, erase several years from your face without going under the knife of a plastic surgeon, and make your eyes expressive and languid by building up lush eyelashes and tattooing the space between the eyelashes.
Thanks to this procedure, women save time on eye makeup in the morning, feel confident on vacation, travel, gym. Let's find out in more detail what interciliary tattooing is, how the procedure is carried out and whether it has contraindications?
A tattoo is a tattoo?
Tattooing, or to be more precise, permanent makeup, is not the same as a tattoo. Of course, the principle is technically the same, but the tools and pigments used by a beautician are different from those used by a tattoo artist.
For example, eyelash tattooing will last for no more than three years, then it gradually begins to brighten, while a tattoo can remain bright for decades. The thing isThe fact that pigments for permanent makeup are of natural origin, they do not contain synthetic additives, therefore they are less saturated and bright.
Another difference is that when performing a tattoo, pigments are injected only into the uppermost layers of the skin, due to this, the color tends to “come off”.
How to prepare for the procedure?
When deciding on an inter-eyelash tattoo or eyeliner of the entire upper eyelid, eyebrows, and lips, carefully consider the choice of a beautician, beauty salon or clinic. Read customer reviews in advance and look at photos of the work. The master must have certificates of training, preferably a diploma of at least secondary medical education. You also have the right to look at certificates for pigments and check the integrity of the packaging of disposable needles.
Having decided on the place and the master, you need to properly prepare for the procedure. More specifically, do not drink alcoholic and energy drinks, strong tea and coffee, and do not take drugs that help thin the blood, such as aspirin. All this can provoke increased bleeding during tattooing, which will have a bad effect on the result of the master's work.
Be sure to remove contact lenses, do not extend or laminate eyelashes, and be sure that you do not have conjunctivitis. If there are any inflammatory processes in the body, postpone the procedure until complete recovery.
How the procedure is donetattoo?
Manipulations begin with the fact that you, together with the master, determine how the tattoo should look as a result. The lash line is one of the most frequently requested places for a permanent. The pigment is applied to the lash line without going beyond their contour. The effect is very natural, but the look becomes more expressive, and the eyelashes appear thicker and darker.
If you have little idea how the final result will look like, then the master will apply eyeliner to the inter-eyelash space with a cosmetic pencil. She will look exactly the same after permanent makeup.
The master will offer you to lie down on the couch. Please note that she was wearing a disposable sheet, and the master was wearing a hat and disposable gloves. Before permanent makeup is performed, the master must apply an anesthetic cream. After that, using a special machine filled with a disposable needle and a pigment, usually black, the procedure for introducing paint under the skin begins. The procedure takes about two hours, including time for anesthesia.
Those who have already tried eyelash tattooing leave mostly positive reviews, especially if they carefully approach the search for a master and studio.
Anesthesia
The skin of the eyelids is very thin and sensitive, so eye tattooing (interciliary space, eyeliner and arrows) is done only after anesthesia. Most often, local anesthesia of the skin is carried out with the drug "Emla". The cream is applied to the eyelidcover with a film and leave on the skin from 30 minutes to 60. After this time, the skin of the eyelid loses its sensitivity for about half an hour or an hour. During this time, the master will tattoo the space between the eyelashes.
In addition to Emla, many cosmetologists use newer local anesthetics that begin to work in 10-15 minutes. They are hypoallergenic and provide anesthesia throughout the procedure.
Contraindications
Like any cosmetic procedure, eyelash tattooing has contraindications. These include:
- Diseases of the blood and lymph.
- Taking antibiotics.
- Pregnancy and lactation.
- Allergy to pigments and components of anesthetic drugs.
- Diabetes mellitus.
- Inflammatory processes.
- Eye diseases.
- Menstruation.
Before you go for permanent makeup, consult your doctor.
Positive feedback about the procedure
Such a common procedure as tattooing the interciliary space has a variety of reviews, but let's start with enthusiastic ones. Those who once dared like it very much:
- Expressive look. Eyeliner very delicately makes the eyes brighter and eyelashes visually thicker.
- No need for eye makeup on vacation, pool, beach, gym.
- The ability to adjust the shape of the eyes. An experienced master will be able to visually make the eyes bigger, smaller or lift them with eyeliner.downturned corners of the eyes.
The end result is more likely to please than vice versa, because it's so nice in the morning, instead of applying makeup, sleep an extra ten minutes!
Negative reviews
There are also dissatisfied among those who did inter-eyelash tattooing. Feedback of a negative nature is usually associated with sensations during the procedure and the rehabilitation period.
- Pain during the procedure even after application of anesthetic cream.
- Swelling of the eyelids lasting three to seven days.
- Itching of the eyelids accompanying the healing period.
- Need to make a correction.
- Sometimes after the "crusts" go away, the pigment comes out with them, in whole or in part, leaving gaps. This may be due to the rejection of the pigment by the body, or due to the fact that the master did not insert the needle deep enough.
- Over time, the pigment may change color to gray or blue. In this case, it is necessary to make a correction.
It seems that there are much more negative reviews about the procedure, but in fact, when the healing process passes, women change their anger to mercy and are glad that they decided on an inter-eyelash tattoo. Before and after the procedure, many take a photo in order to compare the result in the future. And these pictures are one hundred percent proof that the risk was justified.
