Are Tattooed Eyebrows Worth The Risk?

19 dicembre, 2009 (14:23) | General Hair Removal | By: GuestPoster

Getting your eyebrows tattooed is pretty much the same procedure you would go through to get a tattoo on any other part of your body. All the tools used by your chosen artist will be the same with the gun, needles and iron oxide ink being used to permanently mark your skin.

Getting your work done is little more inconvenient tan going to the dentist for a check up with a local anesthetic being used to ensure you feel as little discomfort as possible, its certainly nothing that you will need to be apprehensive about. You can have your eyebrow tattoo work carried out by a aesthetician who will work in very sanitary conditions in a clinical setting, or you can opt to go with a regular tattoo artist who will likely offer a more interesting experience. Which option you choose is done to personal preference and each should be able to do the job just as well if you select a reputable shop.

Whichever you use make sure they use disposable needles which are changed for each client for sanitary reason, to prevent infection. You will probably be able to tell just by looking at most places if they are up to scratch, but is doesn’t hurt to ask just to make sure. The biggest risk you are taking by getting tattoed eyebrows is with the fact you won’t it done the way you want it so its very important to see past work of your chosen artist. Someone who is just learning the art is not a good idea so look for someone with the required experience.

Keep in mind that if you are a diabetic then you will be prone to heal more slowly from such a permanent makeup procedure and this throws up the possibility of scarring, you will want to discuss this with a professional. If you are a perfectly healthy woman then you will be happy to hear that in the vast majority of cases the procedure is completed without a hitch.

An Overview of IPL Hair Removal

IPL hair removal is an effective treatment to remove unwanted hair. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, since the treatment uses light energy converted into heat. The heat damages the cells in the hair follicles so the hair fells and can’t grow anymore from that follicle.

During the process the skin in not harmed, occasionally swelling or a little discomfort may occur. The treatment can be permanent or semi-permanent, depending on several factors: the hair, the skin, the doctor who performs it, the machine used to perform it and how often it is performed. IPL hair removal does not work with red, gray or white hair. In fact, the perfect candidate for IPL hair removal are white skinned people with dark hair.

IPL hair removal is often confused with laser hair removal or electrolysis hair removal, and although all of them use light to remove hair, there are some differences. Plain laser hair removal (generally called just “laser hair removal”) is known to cause more pain and damage to the skin, has a higher percentage of hair regrowth and its not effective on all skins and hair. Electrolysis, on the contrary, is very effective and at the moment is the only option that US FDA considers as permanent. The disadvantages of electrolysis are that it is very slow, because treats each hair separately, inserting a needle in the follicle and burning the hair with an electrical charge applied to the needle, and its cost, which is very high. IPL hair removal works good with many types of hair and skin (especially with the new machines), it’s permanent or at least semi-permanent (that means that 90% of the hair can be permanently removed) and can be applied on large areas of the body at the same time, making it cheaper in the long run, as you will need less sessions.

In the first session up to 30% of the hair can be removed permanently but best results show after six sessions. Sessions should take place every month or so, so that the hair that are not permanently removed can grow and be treated again. One session usually lasts form 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area to treat.

IPL hair removal is approved by FDA and became commercially available in the mid ’90s, after 20 years of experiments. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not undergo IPL since the effects on the baby are not known.
