WHAT IS SEMI PERMANENT MAKEUP?

Not only a cosmetic discipline...

Semi permanent makeup or permanent makeup is a cosmetic discipline aimed to improve the way women and men look. To perform permanent make-up treatment, a specific device is used, specifically designed to treat the delicate areas of the face and also a pigment placed under the skin through micro-needles.

It is called semi permanent makeup just because, to keep the result of the treatment in perfect condition, it is necessary to adjust it once a year for eyebrows, once every 1 or 2 years if for lips and eyes.

Biotek permanent make-up pigments don’t contain acrylic resins, are hypoallergenic and produced according to strict European safety standards and FDA approved.

The most common and most requested treatments are the total or partial definition / reconstruction of the eyebrow arch, the pigmentation of the lips, the eyeliner and the infraliner.

Biotek semi permanent makeup is based on two main keywords: safety and excellence.

For us, the ideal permanent makeup is as natural as quite invisible because it improves without upsetting. Naturalness is a must for us! The operator’s experience and the choice of the materials used will determine the final result. As the desired result is natural, as difficult it will be its realization. To do this it is necessary to have followed specific training and have a great experience in this sector.

Sometimes we underestimate the physical and psychological damage to which we can meet if we turn to inexperienced and low-skilled people who use poor materials which are not in compliance with the European Union standards.

A tip: always check that the materials are all sterile or disposable!

Using a pigment of dubious origin, only for economic savings, can endanger your health. Low quality pigments can create even serious allergic reactions and may contain carcinogenic amines.

The pigments produced in Europe must comply with specific rules designed to protect the consumer, which prohibit the use of some components considered possibly toxic to the human body.

Biotek produces its pigments entirely in Italy and in compliance with the European resolution.
