Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattoo that can help you semi-permanently reinvent your preferred makeup appearance. The application enhances natural beauty and adds pigment to your lips or eyebrows. It gives the impression of plumped lips and makes sparse eyebrows fuller.
PMU has evolved a lot since its emergence. For example, it no longer looks like a tattered line around your feature. Instead, permanent makeup such as lip PMU now looks seamless and natural, especially when done by an expert permanent makeup artist.

This technique allows making beautiful, hair-like strokes on the skin. It provides fast and natural results.
The hair strokes look supernatural and realistic. You will forget about eyebrow pencils, powder, wax, soap, and gels. There won’t be any unpleasant color surprises. The technique doesn’t leave scars on the skin. It can cover rare natural hairs and broaden the eyebrow line, which gives the perfect eyebrow shape.
- Helps people with Alopecia.
- Helps people with poor vision, tremor, and movement restrictions (arthritis, multiple sclerosis).
- Perfect for those who have allergic reactions to makeup.
- Safe alternative to Microblading.
Permanent Eyeliner
This is a method of placing pigment along your lash line, under your skin. While permanent eyeliner application may be slightly more painful than a permanent eyebrow, numbing lotions can be used, and the process is usually completed in a short period. If you have alopecia or your eyebrows are not as thick as you would like, then you should consult our PMU specialists for more accurate services.
Permanent Lip
A permanent lip liner process is nothing but a moderate type of semi-permanent tattoo used to contour the lips, in addition to the contour you can also fill the entire lips with color. The pigment is applied along the edge of the lips to create the illusion and impression of larger lips. If you want to create lip liner or blush, the best permanent makeup services in San Diego can help you do just that.
Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation is a procedure that involves applying natural pigment into the deep layer of the scalp using a detailed-micro needle to add density and imitate the appearance of real hair follicles. Scalp micro pigmentation costs are reasonable whether you want to improve your existing hair restoration or find a non-surgical solution for all types of hair loss.

Contact UsWhat are the Major Benefits of Permanent Makeup?
While many of us like applying makeup daily, some people don’t have the time or ability to achieve the desired appearance. Some people have careers that are hampered by daily makeup. Careers in fitness and healthcare, as well as working outside in inclement weather, are examples.
It's pleasant to go for a stroll or a swim knowing you look your best. Permanent cosmetics allow people to have thick brows and flushed lips daily. There’s no need to be concerned about smudging, fading, or sweating. Cosmetic ink isn’t just for aesthetic purposes. Some people experience hair loss due to cancer therapies or medical conditions. Medications and natural aging both impact the appearance of our brows and lips. Permanent makeup improves them genuinely.
Permanent makeup is also an excellent solution for persons with movement concerns or weak hands due to arthritis or Multiple Sclerosis. However, people with vision issues may have difficulty applying makeup. This problem is solved using cosmetic ink.
When people invest in permanent makeup, they save money. This is because traditional cosmetics must be replaced regularly. Because you’ve depleted them, or they’ve expired. When you use permanent makeup, you only have to worry about the price of replacing your product during periodic touch-ups.

- Before taking any drug, consult your doctor.

Call Us to Schedule an Appointment
Phone: (619) 323-1185What You Should Expect from A Permanent Makeup Session
Plan on spending about 2-2.5 hours with a specialist on your first appointment. During the meeting, your permanent makeup artist will discuss the colors you may need and other important details. This is accomplished by putting the colors to the test on your skin. Then, they will show you what they believe works best and work together with you to ensure you are satisfied with your choice, and you are not concerned about anything. A permanent makeup clinic in San Diego like Anna Kara’s brow studio will explain everything as you go, and you can ask questions anytime.
Treatments are often delivered in two appointments, 4-6 weeks apart, depending on your age and condition. The first session establishes the groundwork for the second meeting when your artist sees how your body has responded to treatment. The second session often lasts about 1-1,5 hours, so you should plan to spend about 1,5 hours with me in total, not including your consultation.
After treatment, you will require color boosts to freshen the color every 12-24 months, and the associated costs are greatly reduced. Color boost prices often do not apply to retouching or topping off existing permanent makeup.
If you have any questions about permanent makeup, including the cost of treatment and product reviews, please get in touch with Anna Kara’s beauty studio, and they will get back to you as soon as possible. Don't hesitate to learn more; permanent make up can change your life!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup emphasizes natural beauty. It is a cosmetic procedure to create indelible makeup. It eliminates the daily hassle of putting the makeup on. During the procedure, cosmetic pigment is implied into the upper layers of the skin with a micro-needle at the end of the permanent makeup machine.
Is there a preliminary consultation with a permanent makeup artist and how much does it cost?
The consultation is scheduled at the request of the client and if it is necessary for you to make a decision, to do or not to do permanent makeup. Consultation is FREE. Just call the number (619) 323-1185 and specify the convenient time of your visit.
If after the permanent makeup the crust began to come off, and there is almost no color under it, maybe I've done PM in vain?
Natural crusting is completely normal. It means the skin is at the active regeneration stage. Under the crusts a new skin area was formed, which is more dense and opaque. The pigment beneath it seems very pale or invisible at all. The pigment will appear after 3-3,5 weeks.
I love going to the beach and be under the sun for a long time, can my PM burn out?
It is impossible to predict how long the pigment will last, a number of factors must be taken into account. In order to preserve the tattoo as long as possible, it is necessary to follow all aftercare instructions and to apply sunscreen on the tattoo area (only after the crusts come off!) with SPF factor of 30-50. The reason is the technique is superficial and the pigment is very prone to burnout.
