Utah beauty schools teach many intriguing, and unfortunately, sometimes dangerous, courses. At the top of this list is permanent cosmetics. Any ink in the dermal layer of skin, which includes makeup, is currently considered by the FDA as cosmetic and can therefore be taught in a variety of cosmetics course curriculums. Individual reasons for desiring permanent cosmetics differ, but lack of time to apply traditional makeup daily and health conditions which render daily makeup application difficult are often cited as reasons. The National Institute of Medical Aesthetics (NIMA) and the FDA both offer safety advice for individuals wishing to receive these types of procedures.
Adverse reactions to permanent cosmetics are reported in the hundreds each year to the FDA. In many cases, it is not the training received from Utah beauty schools that is to blame, but rather the ink shades injected. More than fifty shades and pigments are currently in use and that number continues to grow; however, while these shades are approved for cosmetic use, none is approved for injection into the skin. Many pigments used in tattoo inks are not approved for contact with the skin at all. In fact, some are even industrial grade colors more properly suited to printer ink and automobile paint! This brings to light some important questions. What are the risks involved in tattooing, what happens if a customer is dissatisfied, and do these risks even extend to temporary tattoos (more commonly known as "henna tattoos"?)
Many complications can, and do, occur on occasion with both tattooing and permanent cosmetics. The proper training and appropriate use of sterile equipment is taught in Utah beauty schools but this formal training does not always translate into practice. There is always a risk of infection when receiving a tattoo or permanent cosmetics. Infections such as HIV, hepatitis, and staph infections can all be transmitted by equipment and needles. In order to resolve the infection, prolonged antibiotics are often utilized. Removal and allergic reactions present a problem as well because by their very nature these procedures are designed to be permanent. Formation of granulomas and keloids is also a risk. Some have reported MRI's to cause painful swelling and burning where tattoos or permanent makeup is located.
Dissatisfaction is a common complaint expressed with procedures of this nature. After the fact, there are numerous people who desire to remove the tattoos and permanent makeup applied. This is a very tall order! While tattoos and permanent makeup can look great for a while, they often show signs of fading over time. Inks can also appear fuzzy or blurred if pigments are injected too deeply and can then migrate from the injection site. And just as the human body changes over time and the seasons change, so do tastes in cosmetics. In ten years, the styles may change dramatically while permanent cosmetics cannot.
Henna tattoos, commonly referred to as temporary tattoos, are designed to fade and disappear completely in a matter or days or weeks. These types of tattoos are not commonly taught in Utah beauty school because of the urge for caution by the FDA, as well as NIMA. Foreign-made temporary tattoos often do not carry FDA approved ingredients or adhere to FDA standards and reports of allergic reactions are fairly common. Henna only carries FDA approval for use as a hair dye, not for direct application to the skin. Reports of adverse reactions are common, some resulting in permanent scarring.
If you are considering permanent makeup, consult NIMA approved Utah beauty schools to see what options will be the most safe and satisfactory for your needs.
