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 commonly expressed with these procedures. Numerous people desire to remove the tattoos and permanent makeup once applied; however, this often is very difficult to accomplish. Tattoos and permanent makeup characteristically look great for a short period of time, but signs of fading occur with time. Inks applied too deeply can appear fuzzy or blurred. Another concern is that the human body changes over time and so do tastes in cosmetics. Styles may change dramatically each year while permanent cosmetics cannot accommodate the changes.
Henna tattoos, also known as temporary tattoos, have become increasingly popular. These types of tattoos, not commonly taught in Utah beauty schools, by design fade and are completely gone within days after application. Caution has been urged by the FDA, as well as NIMA, since certain foreign-made temporary tattoos do not carry FDA approved ingredients and reports of allergic reactions are common. Because henna is currently approved by the FDA only for use as a hair dye, not for direct application to the skin, adverse reactions, result in permanent scarring, are often reported.
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.
