About Face Permanent Cosmetics Houston

The business says it has served the Houston area for over 15 years. Its five locations are set inside medical and dental practices: two at Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery (the Memorial and Galleria areas of Houston), one at Reger Vein & Skin Specialists in The Woodlands, one at Dr. Warren Cross and Associates at Methodist Willowbrook Hospital on Tomball Parkway, and one at Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry & Spa in The Woodlands. Hours are Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM.

A free initial consultation can be booked by phone or email. The first procedure usually runs about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. A touch-up visit is scheduled about a month later, usually shorter, with a nominal charge. Maintenance may be needed months or years afterward. The site notes that short-term redness, swelling and tenderness can occur.

Eyebrow work includes microblading, also called 3D Brows, which uses intradermal pigment to mimic hair along the brow line. Eyeliner is placed along the lash line in either a soft, natural finish or a bolder, more defined line. Lip services change the apparent size, shape and color of the lips, and permanent lip liner can help keep lipstick from bleeding into the surrounding skin. The menu also lists beauty marks and lash enhancements.

Paramedical services use pigment matched to the skin's natural tone to camouflage scars, stretch marks and uneven pigment, and to visually reconstruct the nipple and areola after a mastectomy and implant when surgery damaged the nipple. Permanent makeup is also used to camouflage burns and pigmentation differences such as those caused by vitiligo. The website says the work suits people with cosmetic allergies, contact lens wearers, active people, and people with visual impairment or unsteady hands.

Work is planned around each client's needs and the look they want. The business uses FDA-approved pigments and pre-packaged, pre-sterilized implements, with only sterile disposable supplies.
