Permanent Makeup
Unveil your natural beauty with Permanent Makeup, a game-changer in the world of cosmetics. Dr. Sony Truong offers you a chance to wake up every day with perfectly applied makeup that lasts.
Benefits of Permanent Makeup
Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, offers several benefits:
- Time-Saving: One of the biggest advantages of permanent makeup is the time it saves. People with busy schedules, mothers, athletes, and those with physical limitations can have a full-face makeup look without spending time applying it daily.
- Smudge-Proof: Permanent makeup stays in place without smudging or fading throughout the day. It's a great option for those who live in hot climates, people who sweat a lot, or anyone who struggles with keeping their makeup intact all day.
- Perfect for Sensitive Skin or Allergies: For those who have skin sensitivities or allergies to conventional makeup, permanent makeup can be an excellent alternative.
- Cost-Effective in the Long Run: While the upfront cost of the procedure might seem high, it can actually save money in the long run when you factor in the cost of buying makeup over the years.
What Can Permanent Makeup Address?
Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, can address a variety of cosmetic and medical issues:
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Permanent makeup can enhance features such as eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips. It's often used to create a natural-looking brow where hair has been lost due to aging or disease, or to add definition to the lash line or fullness to the lips.
- Allergies to Traditional Makeup: Individuals who are allergic to conventional makeup products can opt for permanent makeup as a way to avoid allergic reactions.
- Difficulty Applying Makeup: People with physical conditions that make it challenging to apply makeup, such as tremors or vision loss, can benefit from permanent makeup.
- Active Lifestyle: For those who lead an active lifestyle or participate in sports that cause traditional makeup to sweat off, permanent makeup is a practical solution.

Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Truong will discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your skin condition, and explain the procedure in detail. He will guide you through the entire process, ensuring you are comfortable and confident about your decision.
Treatment Options
Techniques similar to Permanent Makeup include microblading and tattooing. Dr. Truong will explain the differences and help you choose the best option for your unique needs during your consultation.
What happens during The Procedure?
The Permanent Makeup procedure begins with a consultation, followed by designing the desired shapes, choosing the perfect pigment, and then the application process. You may feel a slight discomfort during the procedure, but a topical anesthetic will be used to minimize any pain. Post-procedure, you can expect some swelling and redness which will subside within a few days.
Recovery
Recovery from Permanent Makeup involves some initial redness and swelling, which subsides within a few days. The color intensity of your makeup will gradually lighten over the first week. Complete healing takes about 4-6 weeks.
Post-Operative Care
After the procedure, it’s important to keep the treated area clean and moisturized. Avoid sun exposure and strenuous activities that may cause sweating for about a week. These steps are crucial to ensure the pigment sets well and to prevent any infections.
Addressing Mild To Moderate Issues
Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, can address a variety of mild to moderate issues:
- Sparse Eyebrows or Lashes: Permanent makeup can help individuals with thin or sparse eyebrows or lashes by creating the appearance of fuller, well-defined brows and lash lines.
- Pigmentation Issues: Mild pigmentation issues, such as hypo-pigmentation (light spots) or hyper-pigmentation (dark spots), can be camouflaged with permanent makeup.
- Alopecia: This condition causes hair loss, often in patches. Permanent makeup can be used to simulate the appearance of eyebrows or eyelashes lost due to alopecia.
- Vitiligo: Permanent makeup can camouflage small areas affected by vitiligo, a skin disorder that causes the loss of skin color in blotches.

Permanent Makeup FAQs
Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, is a procedure where pigments are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin to enhance facial features such as eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Dr. Sony Truong uses topical anesthetics to numb the area and minimize any potential discomfort.
According to Dr. Sony Truong, permanent makeup typically lasts between one to three years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. However, touch-ups are recommended annually to maintain the vibrancy of the color.
While permanent makeup can be lightened or modified to some extent, it's important to note that it's considered a permanent procedure because it's difficult to remove completely.
