Tips to make your summer permanent         makeup last longer!   Do not go into a lake, ocean, river, Jacuzzi or pool until the entire procedure area has healed.

Additionally, permanent cosmetics are used aesthetically to enhance nipple-areola reconstruction procedures and for other applications. Unfortunately, there is much confusion regarding the overall safety aspects of permanent cosmetics. For example, based on a few reports of symptoms localized to the tattooed area during MR imaging, many radiologists have refused to perform examinations on individuals with permanent cosmetics, particularly tattooed eyeliner. This undue concern for...
