Effortless Beauty, Expertly Refined
For many women, the morning routine reveals the same frustrations. Uneven brows, faint lashes, or fading lip color that takes precious time to correct every single day. Some people also notice areas of the skin marked by scars or discoloration that never seem to fully disappear, no matter how much makeup is applied.
These are small but persistent concerns, and over time they can weigh heavily on confidence. Permanent cosmetics offer a clinical solution rooted in precision, artistry, and technology. At Skin Deep Medical Spa in Highland Park and Glenview, IL, patients have access to safe, evidence-based techniques that refresh and enhance natural features without the daily maintenance of traditional makeup. Under the guidance of Steven Bloch, MD, board-certified plastic surgeon, each procedure is performed with the same level of care and clinical oversight that defines his surgical practice.
Definition Without the Effort
At our offices in Glenview & Highland Park Permanent Cosmetics is a cosmetic tattooing process which simulates conventional makeup with long lasting intradermal color.
People with vision problems, physical disabilities, sensitivities to preservatives in regular makeup, contact lense wearers, active individuals, burn survivors, hair loss clients, people with facial asymmetries or light scars, women who want to save makeup application time and even men can all benefit from Permanent Cosmetics. Choose from lip liner, full lip color, eyelash enhancement, eye liner, eyebrow enhancement, hair simulation, skin repigmentation and scar camouflage.
Color That Complements You
When performed by a professional team under the supervision of a board-certified plastic surgeon, permanent cosmetics provide results that look natural, polished, and refined. Key benefits include:
These services do not provide much of a dramatic, intense change. Instead, they provide subtle, lasting improvements that grow your confidence and protect the investment you’ve made in your appearance.
Every Day Perfection
Permanent cosmetics (or permanent makeup) are intended to improve areas of the face and skin where definition or color is lacking. For many patients, this includes:
The procedure also provides long-lasting color correction for patients who want consistent results throughout their day at work, at the gym, or in social settings without worrying about smudging or reapplication.
Subtle Changes, Striking Impact
Every treatment begins with a consultation at Skin Deep Medical Spa in Highland Park and Glenview, where your goals, skin tone, and features are carefully reviewed. Dr. Bloch and his team explain the process in detail so you feel fully aware and supported. A topical numbing solution is applied for comfort, and pigment is placed with professional instruments in measured strokes or shading, depending on whether brows, eyeliner, lips, or scar camouflage are the focus.
The artistry lies in selecting tones that complement your complexion and enhance natural balance. Most sessions take only a few hours, and results are visible immediately, softening as the skin heals. Patients leave with definition that looks effortless. Refined, polished, and uniquely their own.
A Finish That Feels Natural
While permanent cosmetics are non-surgical, they are still a professional procedure and require proper aftercare. Most patients experience minor redness, swelling, or sensitivity for a few days. It is important to keep the treated area clean, avoid sun exposure, and follow all instructions provided by the practice. Color may appear more intense immediately after application, then soften as the skin heals. A touch-up appointment is often scheduled to refine results once healing is complete. Patients typically return to normal activities quickly, with little disruption to daily life.
Refined Results That Last
The results of permanent cosmetics are designed to look soft, natural, and enduring. Immediately after your procedure, the color may appear more pronounced, but as the skin heals, it settles into a subtle, balanced finish that enhances rather than overwhelms. Brows frame the face with clean definition, eyeliner provides depth to the eyes, lips regain natural shape and color, and scars become less noticeable against surrounding skin. Most patients enjoy results that last for years, with only occasional touch-ups needed to maintain vibrancy. Permanent cosmetics free you from constant reapplication, letting you move through life with ease while still feeling beautifully put together. The effect is effortless confidence, knowing your features remain polished throughout your day, from morning meetings to evenings out.
The Price of Permanence
The cost of permanent cosmetics varies depending on the area treated (brows, eyes, lips, or scar camouflage), the complexity of your needs, and any touch-ups required. During your consultation, you’ll receive a clear estimate based on your intended treatment plan. While some patients may compare costs across different providers, it’s important to consider the experience of the doctor, the quality of products and tools used, and the support provided throughout recovery. Permanent cosmetics are an investment in yourself, one that should be performed by professionals in a trusted practice.
