SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT OVER THE WEEKEND- PERMANENT COSMETICS ARE MORE POPULAR THAN EVER!

Are you uncertain whether or not to seek training at this time? 

Lasting Effects has been a leading clinic in the Mid-Atlantic for 18 years.  Owner and instructor Roxanne’s  skill and artistry ensure that you will also be able to apply basic permanent cosmetics that look natural- and you will be personally taught and supervised by her. We find that  the  demand is higher than ever for  her permanent cosmetics,   even though the economy is slow.

Why? It’s simple. Women want to keep up their appearance, and are very determined to do so. Many new clients have recently discovered  that our lifelike permanent cosmetics do this.

• Some want to look younger, but say they can not afford plastic surgery.  It can be 10-15 times the cost of a full makeover.
• Some want to make their lips fuller , but can not afford repeated fat injections which cost as much as lipliner, but must be repeated every few months
• Some want to look as if they have had a eyelift, eyeliner can give a lifted appearance to the outside eyelid without the scars, surgery or pain.
• Some want a forehead lift, eyebrows can be designed and applied to look like a lifted brow with no surgery or pain.  Savings:  $ 6,000.00

If you believe that most women want cosmetics  to look real, soft and natural, know that it can   only be done with the professional coil machine, and we are the only state approved, higher education school on the East Coast teaching our creation “the Natural Look.” 

Have a nice Memorial Day weekend.

CHOOSING EQUIPMENT- FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION
What are the basics you need to know before choosing the school and style of permanent cosmetics you will learn? I have a question for you. Can you sell pain? If not, do not choose painful methods! Read on…

Things to consider before choosing equipment and a training program-

1. Always look at the pictures to see if the cosmetics being done at the school’s clinic suits you. Ask if the pictures are the actual work done by that technician on their real patients. (Some may show you nationally produced, airbrushed pictures. )
ALL PATIENT PICTURES AT LASTING EFFECTS ARE OUR REAL PATIENTS AND THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE UNTOUCHED.

2. Ask what type of equipment is being used? Manual pen, Electric pen or a Professional Coil Machine? This affects the final appearance and how permanent they are.

FYI : THREE TYPES OF EQUIPMENT = THREE DIFFERENT LOOKS.
Do you want to look as if you are wearing a cosmetic tattoo, or do you want a soft, natural look?
There are three major equipment classifications:

* Professional Coil Machine. (Used at Lasting Effects TM)
* Manual pens
* Electric pens ( both dial and digital)
*

Knowing the basic differences in equipment before you choose a school is vastly important to your sucess! ONLY the professional coil machines produce an appearance that looks soft, and natural.

__________________________________________________________________

I. The Professional Coil Machine is the equipment of choice for those who wish to have the cosmetic be permanent ( 8-10 years) and natural looking. When done correctly it cause very little swelling.
NOTE: A professional coil machine is the only equipment which can produce “the natural look”, using a wide assortment of artistic strokes and or lines, with crisp or soft edges. Techncians who are skilled can also do thick, thin, light, dark, smooth, scattered & blending. It uses ultra fine tips, as fine as the width of a single hair. The most natural looking because the techncian can draw as if with a pen or brush. Eyebrows are done in strokes. Due to the fine size of the tips, topicals are very effective & most patients report complete lack of any stinging.

Who uses this equipment: Roxanne uses this equipment and teaches this in our state approved school. Few in Maryland have the education or training to use this equipment.

Application usually results in :Normal result: There no swelling on eyebrows and lips. You can go back to work or out to lunch afterwards.

Color pattern: Strokes or shading & blending. No dots!
Permanency: 6-12 years, before recoloring is required.
Our overall rating: Most permanent, not painful , (occasionally painful on lips) natural in appearance..

You can see why Lasting Effects TM Permanent Cosmetic Clinic choose to use ONLY the coil machine

II. Manual pens. These are small plastic pens, with large gauge, regular size tattoo needles.
The needles are hand punched into the skin. Patients report that this usually painful, even with topical. and that the treatments take 2-3 hours and requires 2-3 repeat treatments. Due to this being a hand method, the instrument implants the least amount of pigment.
Who uses this equipment: Example- About 10% or less of technicians in Maryland use this method.
Application usually results in : swelling, bleeding and scabbing before healing.
Appearance: This looks like a solid tattoo. Eyebrows are filled in solid, like an eyebrow pencil. Some are even outlined around the outside. Lips have a hard, dark line. Eyeliner is sapplied in conjoining dots, the edge is irregular, not smooth. Color on most cosmetics is dark and solid. Most patients feel this looks artifical, and appears to be a tattoo.
Color pattern: Dots, overlapping.
Permanency: Usually needs to be reapplied every year and is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo.
Our overall rating: Semi-permanent, painful, artificial in appearance.

III. Electric Pens. The electric pens are primarily from Asia and use large gauge, tattoo needles. Patients report that this usually painful, even with topical. Treatments take 2-3 hours and requires 2-3 treatments. The appearance of looking hard and dark, like a tattoo.
Who uses this equipment:We find that at least 85-90 % of the technicians in Maryland seem to be using this equipment.
Application usually results in : swelling, bleeding and scabbing before healing. Electric pens implant more pigment that manual pens but the overall appearance is the same as the pen.
Appearance: This looks like a solid tattoo. Eyebrows are filled in solid, like an eyebrow pencil. Lips have a hard, dark line. Eyeliner is smudged , not smooth. Color is applied in overlapping dots. Color on most cosmetics is dark and solid. Most patients feel this looks artifical, and appears to be a tattoo.
Color pattern: Dots, overlapping.
Permanency: Usually needs to be reapplied every two years and is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo.
Our overall rating: Semi-permanent, painful, artificial in appearance.

In fact, on eyeliners, many say it tickles( due to the vibration.) 

Techs who have been trained in the use of electric pens (digital) will attend our conferences and can simply can not believe their eyes, when the patients feel no pain and little swelling. They ask the patient, “Are you sure you are not feeling anything?” Then they turn to me and say, “Why hasn’t anyone told me about this, why do I not know about this? Why didn’t anyone tell me ?

Research your new field before taking training. Understand the equipment, it’s limitations and benefits.

This article talks about focusing on what is important to you and your sucess- not wasting time on on-line browsing, social sites, etc. Good read!

Women who take the professional permanent cosmetic course we offer are seeking a new career after years in a different field. They selected us to train with because they felt , after research that our experience and method, and credentials would assure them good education. Women gain higher self esteem by going into business for themselves, so they can make decisions and direct their own future. 

What are the  most often cite two  reasons they wanted to learn permanent cosmetics?

1. “I wanted something I could do and be my own boss, instead of working for someone else.

2. “I want to work part-time on my own, and develop my own business while still working my job.

If you have similar goals, consider what all business people know- that now is the best time to get started, as no time will ever be perfect!

Evidence Gathers- Permanent Cosmetic Treatments Are Weathering the Economic Downturn Better Than Tradtional Spa Treatments.
Several articles have come across my desk , all say that many spas and salons continue to struggle in the economic downturn, along with other businesses.
BUT… medi-spas are claiming they are less effected. in fact, many clients say that they are more willing to get treatments that offer permanent results. This includes laser, botox and permanent cosmetics, which are viewed as value added services. In contrast, articles claim that women see traditional spa services such as massage, nails, body wraps, etc. as an “indulgence”- no matter how relaxing or wonderful!
If this is the case, spas would do well to give women what they want- if they are legally allowed to offer the sought after services. Most spas can offer permanent cosmetics, and can market them to be a problem solving service. It is essential that they be of the natural look style, or they will be viewed as make-up, and time savers, but little else.
“Natural Look Permanent Cosmetics- they are indistinguishable from real features,so they can permanently correct flaws, often make women look noticably younger. Of course they can be applied a little darker to look like soft and tasteful makeup, and this allows the look of a flawless appearance- all day long.
Our own clients- This past two months we have served numerous nurses (who work long hours and require a professioanl, no fuss appearance).
We also have had clients who are out of work ( they say they are doing permanent cosmetics and botox to be more competitive with younger people as they seek jobs.) Enthusiam among clients to refer is high.
The pattern is consistant, permanent procedures are viewed as valuable,even in a downturn economy! Women feel permanent cosmetics can give women over 40 an edge in looking younger. This is viewed as way to keep a job or get a job. Don’t ignore your clients needs.
Spa owners seem to agree that traffic on services is down. The best way to higher traffic is a good offense. Upgrade your spas offerings. Send a trusted, professional employee to the Lasting Effects Permanent Cosmetic Institute to get trained.
Example of an article segment from link at- http://www.thenational.ae/article/20090711/BUSINESS/707119962/1005
…”At Aesthetica Clinic Dubai, the number of patients has risen by 20 per cent in the past few months, according to Dr Maria Khattar, the clinic’s chief executive. Rising patient numbers encouraged Dr Khattar to open clinics in Dubai Healthcare City and Deira last year. This year, she plans to open two more branches in the Jumeirah area.
Both doctors said many of their clients sought anti-ageing treatments to boost self-esteems battered during the economic downturn.
“It’s like when you feel depressed, you go shopping,” Dr Sawaf said. “In these low times some people want to treat themselves and look younger.” Academic studies have highlighted the link between attractiveness and job opportunities, the so-called “beauty premium”.
In 2005, the US Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis found that attractive people earn on average 5 per cent more than their plain-looking counterparts.
“The truth is, looking good can mean having more opportunities in the job market,” Dr Khattar said. “It seems frivolous but it is the general perception.”
As well as Botox, popular treatments include laser treatments for hair removal, skin tightening and plasma skin resurfacing. “More people are realising that they can get natural results without going under the knife,” Dr Khattar said.
Sara said she considered her Botox treatment a necessary investment. In fact, she said, her interest in the anti-ageing business grew so much so that she decided to work at the clinic where she received her treatment.
