Is permanent make-up risky?

August 25, 2008


How would it feel to have your eyes already lined with eyeliner or, your lips lined with lipstick permanently? Wouldn’t it be a great convenience? Is it really possible? It is, with the help of permanent make-up or micro pigmentation, which is a natural iron oxide pigment facial application that is used on your skin. Needles dipped in this pigment mixture are used and then applied on your skin. But, apart from the luxury of having your face done up for life, does this package come with any risks? Are there any side effects? Let’s find out.

Usually used for physically challenged people and burns patients who have psychological problems due to the trauma, many women are beginning to use this procedure to enhance their looks and save the trouble of donning on make-up everyday. Not specifically used for the face, it is generally used for lining the lips, giving permanent liners to the eyes, colouring the lips and even making beauty marks on any part of the body. It is basically the use of tattooing to make irremovable make-up.

But, permanent make-up comes with its risks like infection if sterilization is not done properly. This could give you Hepatitis B, syphilis and even HIV! Other reactions like bleeding, swelling, burning and scarring could also take place. A lot of care has to be taken after the procedure like not going out in the sun and not eating spicy food for sometime to name a few. Ophthalmologists have reported of cases where allergic reactions have come up due to improper tattoo inks. Many cases of hepatitis have also come up.

So, what started off as a beauty surgery to save you time could turn into a case of ‘too much pain for a meaningless gain.’ Is it worth the trouble? Think about it.
