1. What is permanent makeup? Permanent makeup is a state-of-the-art technique of permanently applying makeup via intradermal micropigmentation. Properly applied, permanent makeup will be more natural and realistic in appearance as compared to conventional cosmetics. 2. Is it safe? YES -- AnVanti Clinic of Permanent Cosmetics provides you with medical professionals who have over 30 years of combined professional medical experience. David R. Madenberg, M.D., is our Medical Director and is Certified in Advanced Permanent Cosmetic Techniques. He is available õat all times to answer your medical concerns in regard to permanent cosmetics before and after your procedure. Lynn Duncan-Madenberg, OTR, SMP, is also a trained professional in the medical field with a Bachelor's Degree in Allied Health Professions. We utilize a 100% single-use, disposable system for each procedure. Our methods of permanent cosmetic application are controlled, gentle and safe. 3. Does it hurt? Very little, if any, discomfort is experienced during the procedure. In fact, the great majority of our clients describe the sensation as a "'tickling" feeling. Dr. Madenberg, and his pharmacist, have formulated a very effective, full-strength, prescription topical anesthesia which is exclusive to AnVanti Clinic for all permanent cosmetic procedures. Its numbing properties are unsurpassed -- however, if you prefer a dental block for a lip color procedure, Dr. Madenberg is also available to provide this service, as well. |

4. Will it look "natural"? YES It will look more natural than your own conventional make-up. Unless you tell somebody you've had it applied, they'll never know. We use "natural-looking" hair strokes for brows, with natural age-defying shapes. Lynn has been a makeup/makeover artist for over 20 years and specializes in "natural-looking" makeup. Lynn's artist's eye will capture or create the natural beauty of her client. Lynn is also currently a professional makeup artist and sponsor for contestants of the National Organization, "Beauties of America". AnVanti Clinic's rich and creamy pigments create the most natural shades. Several different methods of permanent cosmetic application are used during your procedure in order to provide you with the most beautiful results. You can choose between a very dramatic look or one that is soft, powdery and subtle, including the popularly sought-after "smudgy" look for eyeliner. 5. What is the healing period like? Most of our clients are immediately able to return to work or their other daily activities immediately following their procedure without any embarrassment or discomfort. Our exclusive-blend of prescription-strength anesthesia prevents unsightly swelling and bleeding, while providing a rapid, healing period for our clients. For approximately 5-7 days following the procedure, you will need to apply a thin film of a healing ointment to the procedure site. During this healing period, you will notice the color soften into your skin. 6. How many applications are needed? Generally, two applications are needed in order to achieve full satisfaction with your desired look. However, at AnVanti Clinic, many of our clients are fully satisfied with just one application. The second application is scheduled approximately 6 weeks after the initial procedure. |

7. How will I know who is a qualified technician? It is crucial that you thoroughly investigate the techician's work and experience prior to scheduling a permanent procedure. Besides providing quality permanent cosmetic procedures to our clients, AnVanti Clinic is also an Internationally Recognized Training Institute for the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals, teaching Basic and Advanced Programs. AnVanti Clinic is also a key committee member for the State of Wisconsin's Division of Public Health. AnVanti Clinic is currently helping the State Legislature to develop educational requirements and standardized guidelines in order to regulate all permanent cosmetic technicians within the State of Wisconsin. 8. Often, I have great difficulty applying my eyeliner. It usually ends up too thick or it ends up uneven. How will the permanent eyeliner look? Truthfully, it will look sensational. A very conservative approach is used for those who are unsure of width or color. The second application may be used as an opportunity to add more fullness or color, if desired. Permanent makeup is applied very evenly and is incredibly precise and smooth. 9. How long does a procedure take? The average length of time for one procedure is approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours. The second application is usually l hour. |

10. May I choose my own colors? Definitely. We custom-blend colors and shades to match your favorite pencils. However, should you later decide upon a different color, we can either lighten, darken, or even the change the color at that time. As experts in the field, a different color choice may be recommended, based on a personal color analysis. Although the final color choice is yours, we strongly recommend natural shades. With each procedure we use fresh pigments which contain safe, inorganic ingredients. Our rich and creamy pigments are of the highest quality and have an excellent reputation because they look so natural. 11. I'm allergic to most makeup, especially eye makeup. Will permanent makeup be safe for me? Absolutely. Many women choose permanent eyeliner as the solution to their sensitive eyes. Say "good-bye" to watery, runny eyes and smeary makeup forever! 12. How much does a permanent procedure cost? Our permanent cosmetic procedures range from 295.00 to 595.00. (Corrective procedures are generally more expensive, and are individuallªy priced). Make absolutely certain that you understand that price is actually one of the least important questions to ask in your search for a technician. A single, misplaced line may alter and detract from the beautiful features of your face. As Correction Specialists, we see far too many "mistakes" from other technicians. Often, the corrective work is very costly and requires extensive work. There is nothing more important than using extreme caution before selecting a technician. Make sure that she has years of experience, because in this business, there is no margin for error, as she is permanently altering the appearance of your face. |

13. What if I don't like the way it looks? If the artist is truly experienced and focuses on a "natural" look, you will be very happy with the results. However, it is important to know that depending on the pigment used, not all permanent makeup can be removed with lasers, and is truly permanent.d 14. How long does permanent makeup last? Permanent cosmetics are permanent in that you will always have a permanent marking on your skin. However, over time, you will notice a gradual softening of color occuring each year. Many women feel that this is advantageous, as they feel that their permanent makeup will age with them. "Color enhancements" are recommended for those who wish to keep their permanent makeup looking as fresh as possible. Generally, every 2-8 years or so, depending on color and each individual's body chemistry and life style. Pricing on color enhancements are greatly reduced, and individually assessed.
