Experience the MPSG difference

Permanent Makeup

Permanent Make-up is the art of implanting color into your skin to enhance your natural beauty. We believe that permanent make-up should be subtle and should look like your normal make-up. We use only organic pigments to create a natural look. Topical numbing cream applied 30 minutes prior to your procedure makes your treatment very comfortable. Permanent make-up is applied to the following areas: Brows, Eyeliner, and Lip Color. Call today to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Executed Flawlessly

I have been going to My Plastic Surgery Group for 2 years after being referred by a friend. Nate is a Botox magician.. he always listens to my concerns and provides the best guidance to achieve my goals, and executes flawlessly. I’m rather conservative in my approach to Botox, and Nate is the best at achieving amazing results while keeping it very natural. I highly recommend Nate for his skills, the care he shows his clients, his attention to detail, his in depth knowledge of all of the services MPSG provides, and also because he’s just a really great person. Always look forward to seeing him. Thanks My Plastic Surgery Group and thank you, Nate!!

Couldn't Be Happier

I absolutely love this place! I went through a heck of a year dealing with loss, divorce and a complete transformation. There’s a few things I’d been wanting to do for years just for my own confidence & I finally took the plunge as a long awaited gift to myself. Absolutely every single member of the staff I’ve met here has made me feel like a friend of theirs while I’m there. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, comforting & supportive & I couldn’t be happier with my results! Love these guys like family.

Questions & Answers with Dr. Aker

What is permanent makeup, and which areas can be treated?

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattooing technique that deposits pigment into the skin to enhance facial features. Common treatments include eyebrows, eyeliner, lip color, and certain restorative applications.

How long does permanent makeup typically last?

Permanent makeup generally fades gradually and may require periodic color-refresh appointments. Longevity depends on the technique, pigment, treatment area, skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure.

What should I expect during the permanent makeup healing process?

The treated area may initially appear darker or more intense and may experience mild swelling, tenderness, flaking, or scabbing. As the skin heals, the color usually softens and becomes more natural-looking.

What is the difference between permanent makeup, microblading, and traditional tattoos?

Permanent makeup is a broad category of cosmetic tattooing, while microblading is a specific manual technique commonly used to create eyebrow hair strokes. Traditional body tattoos generally use different pigments, equipment, placement depths, and artistic techniques.
