What is Art Makeup


■ Art Makeup The origin of modern art makeup
is said to date back to ancient China about 3,000 years ago. In ancient China, women used to apply black ink to their eyebrows to make them look thicker, based on the legend that "women with thin eyebrows cannot be happy". Later, a technique was developed to dye the skin directly with dye so that it would not come off with sweat or water, and this technique developed and spread from China to Taiwan, then to the United States, and finally to Japan. In the U.S., the art makeup is called Permanent makeup or Cosmetic Tattoo.

■ Difference between Permanent Makeup and Tattoo
The major difference is the depth of the skin where the pigment is injected. Tattoos inject the pigment into a deeper layer of skin and therefore do not fade semi-permanently, whereas art makeup injects the pigment into a shallower layer of skin and therefore the color gradually fades. The reason why some people who have had art makeup done a long time ago are left with a dark blue-black color, like a sticky glue is because the pigment was injected deep into the same layer of the skin as the tattoo. In such cases, the pigment will not fade naturally because it is the same as the tattoo.

■ Comparison of Japanese and American Art Makeup
In Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) approved art make-up as a medical procedure in 2005, requiring that only "doctors" or "nurses" under the direction of a doctor perform the procedure. This has led to the current trend of "medical art make-up" being performed by "medical doctors" and "nurses". This is why it is now called "medical art makeup. On the other hand, in the state of California, U.S.A., the condition for the procedure is to be certified as a "Body Art Practitioner". ( *Regulations differ from state to state ) "Body Art Practitioner" is the same certification that a body tattooist obtains. In Japan, the hurdle is a little higher because it is a medical procedure and is positioned as "cosmetic surgery." In the U.S., however, it is positioned as "art" as part of tattooing, so it is more like an extension of makeup. In terms of cost, the average cost is lower in the U.S. ( *The price of one eyebrow art make-up in Japan is about 100,000 )

■ Hygiene in the U.S.
As mentioned above, it is relatively easy to have art make-up done in the U.S., but hygiene control is strictly controlled by Public Health. However, hygiene is strictly controlled by the Public Health Department. Only those facilities that have passed the preliminary documentary and onsite examinations and have received permission can perform the procedure. In addition, an onsite inspection of the facility is conducted once a year, and the permit is renewed upon successful completion of the inspection.

■ Areas of treatment
Eyebrows, eyeliner, lips, hairline, moles, and nipple art makeup to recreate the nipple or areola of a patient who has lost their nipple due to breast cancer surgery. In addition to cosmetic purposes, art makeup is also used for medical ・ psychological support, such as filling in eyebrows and hair lines that have been removed due to anticancer drug treatment. TAKAGI BROWS currently offers three areas of service: eyebrows ・ eyelines ・ and lips.




Eyebrow Art Makeup Techniques


■ Microblading ? Powder Brows ? NanoStroke ?
Within the group of "eyebrow art makeup There are various techniques in the category of "eyebrow art makeup". The most common of these are called microblading, powder brows, nano strokes, and combo brows. Other techniques may be confusing because they are sometimes called by various fashionable names, such as ombre blow, nuance blow, 3D, and 4D, but the four mentioned above are the most typical techniques.

■ Differences and characteristics of each technique
The characteristics of the techniques can be divided into two simple categories: "furrow" and "powder. It is easier to understand if you imagine "furrow" = as lines and "powder" = as dots.

"Hair line ( Line )" … Technique to reproduce the hair line of each eyebrow
* Microblading, nano stroke

"Powder ( Point )" … Technique to reproduce the feeling of softly applied powder makeup
*Powder brow

This combo brow is created by combining both "hairline ( lines )" and "powder ( points )".

■Which technique to choose ?
It is not necessary for you to decide in advance ^ ^After a consultation before the treatment, we will ask you how you would like your eyebrows to look. After analyzing each person's own eyebrow growth style, hair volume, skin type, etc., we will suggest which technique is best for you and decide together with you.




Color Selection


We will decide together with you after you show us your desired color and your usual makeup. However, please keep in mind that the color of the makeup will look different from the color of the art makeup. Makeup colors are visible on the surface of the skin, whereas art makeup colors are seen inside the skin through the filter of each individual's skin. In other words, each person's skin will look different depending on the undertones and thickness of the skin. We will give you advice on how to predict the final color that will be achieved and how to achieve the desired result. On the other hand, if you are not so particular, or if you are not sure about the color that suits you, please do not worry. We will work with you to determine the best color.




Pain

It is minimal. We do not say it is painless, but the procedure is performed while using anesthetic cream. 99% of patients fall asleep during the procedure.


Duration

Initial … 2.5hr before/after ( including counseling )
touch up … 1.5hr before/after




Frequency of Touch-ups


First Time We offer two sessions for first time clients: the first session and a touch-up within 6-10 weeks. The reason for the two sessions is to avoid too aggressive treatment in the first session, as the art make-up does not disappear immediately, for better or worse. The first session will build the foundation as much as possible, and after seeing how well it has settled, the second ( touch-up ) will make adjustments and finish the process.
*In the case of eyeliner, only the first session may be sufficient to achieve the desired result

The recommended time for touch-ups after two sets of treatments is 1 ~ 3 years.

The speed at which the color fades varies from person to person depending on skin type, lifestyle, etc., and how much intensity you want to keep varies from person to person, so 1 ~ 3 years is only a guide period. Unlike beauty treatments or esthetic treatments, art makeup does not become more beautiful the more it is done. There is a limit to the amount of pigment that the skin can tolerate. It is like pouring 120cc of pigment into a coffee cup that only holds 100cc, but only 100cc remains in the cup. Only when the color has faded to a certain degree can the color be freshened up nicely with touch-ups.




Previous art makeup


We do accept reservations. However, we may not be able to accept your request or it may be difficult to reproduce the desired result depending on how much of the past remains. If you have a past history of art makeup, please be sure to inform us of this at the time of your appointment and we will be happy to discuss your request.



Before your appointment

Medications, medical conditions or cosmetic procedures you are taking ( Botox, laser facial, etc. ) Depending on the time elapsed after the procedure, we may not be able to perform the art makeup procedure immediately. Please contact us for details in advance.
