PERMANENT MAKEUP SERVICES

  • Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a cosmetic technique that uses tattooing to place pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. At Beautifully Created Ink Co. in Paris, TN, our permanent makeup services include eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip blushing. Results typically last 1-3 years for eyebrows, 2-4 years for eyeliner, and 1-2 years for lip blushing, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

  • Permanent makeup prices vary by service and technique. We offer competitive pricing for eyebrow microblading, powder brows, eyeliner tattooing, and lip blushing services in the Paris-Henry County area. Contact our studio at 205 N. Brewer Street for current pricing and to schedule your consultation.

  • Most clients experience minimal discomfort during permanent makeup procedures. We use topical numbing agents to ensure your comfort. The healing process typically takes 7-14 days, with some flaking and color changes expected. Kelly provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

  • Microblading creates hair-like strokes for a natural look, while powder brows use stippling technique for a soft, powdered appearance. Combination brows blend both techniques. During your consultation, Kelly will recommend the best technique for your skin type and desired look.

  • We perform patch tests before any permanent makeup procedure to ensure safety. Kelly reviews your medical history and discusses any skin sensitivities during your consultation. Our high-quality pigments and sterile techniques minimize reaction risks.

  • Avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and caffeine 24 hours before your appointment. Don't tweeze or wax the treatment area for one week prior. Avoid sun exposure and retinoids for 2 weeks before your procedure. Full pre-care instructions are provided when you book.

  • A touch-up appointment is typically scheduled 6-8 weeks after your initial procedure. This allows for complete healing and color settling. The touch-up refines shape, adds density, and ensures optimal results. Touch-ups are included in our service packages.

PARAMEDICAL TATTOOING SERVICES

  • Paramedical tattooing uses specialized techniques to restore natural appearance after medical procedures, trauma, or surgery. At Beautifully Created Ink Co., we offer areola restoration for mastectomy patients and scar camouflage for various types of scars. This service helps restore confidence and emotional well-being.

  • Areola restoration recreates the natural appearance of the areola and nipple using advanced 3D tattooing techniques. Kelly works closely with your medical team to ensure proper timing and optimal results. The procedure is typically performed 3-6 months after breast reconstruction surgery.

  • Scar camouflage can improve the appearance of surgical scars, trauma scars, accident scars, burn scars, and stretch marks. The technique uses skin-tone pigments to blend scars with surrounding skin. Results vary based on scar type, age, and skin tone.

  • Some insurance plans may cover paramedical tattooing, especially areola restoration after mastectomy. We provide detailed receipts and documentation for insurance submission. Contact your insurance provider to verify coverage before your appointment.

MICROCHANNELING SERVICES

  • ProCell microchanneling is a minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This stimulates collagen production and improves product absorption. It's effective for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and skin texture issues.

  • Treatment recommendations vary based on your skin concerns. Light anti-aging may require 1-2 treatments, while deeper wrinkles and scarring may need 4-6 sessions. Treatments are spaced 3-4 weeks apart, with results visible 2-3 weeks after treatment.

  • Microchanneling effectively treats fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, uneven skin tone, and lost elasticity. It can be used on face and body areas.

  • Microchanneling results can last 2-10 years depending on your age, lifestyle, and skin maintenance routine. Regular maintenance treatments help prolong results and continue skin improvement.
