Permanent Makeup at Dana Goldberg MD

Naturally Enhanced Brows, Lips & Skin Restoration

Permanent makeup is one of the fastest-growing aesthetic treatments—giving patients long-lasting definition, symmetry, and confidence without the daily maintenance of traditional makeup. At Dana Goldberg MD, our permanent makeup artist, Lulu, delivers soft, natural, hyper-realistic results designed to enhance your unique features and create long-term convenience.

We offer a full array of cosmetic tattooing and restorative micropigmentation treatments, including eyebrows, lip blush, scar camouflage, and areola re-pigmentation.

What Is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent makeup (also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation) uses specialized techniques and ultra-fine pigment to gently implant color into the upper layers of the skin. The goal is not to look “tattooed”—but to subtly enhance your features with soft, natural definition.

Depending on the area treated, permanent makeup can:

Define and shape the eyebrows
Create a fuller, more youthful lip color
Camouflage scars or hypopigmented areas
Recreate the appearance of natural areolas after breast surgery

Results typically last 1–3 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Our Permanent Makeup Services

Eyebrows

Whether you prefer soft, hair-like strokes or a more filled-in powder finish, our brow tattooing is fully customized to your facial structure and personal style.

We offer:

Microblading – Individual hair strokes for a natural look
Powder Brows / Ombre Brows – Soft shading for definition and fullness
Combination Brows – A blend of strokes and shading

Perfect for patients with:

Sparse or thinning brows
Over-plucked brows
Uneven shape
Active lifestyles where makeup fades quickly

Your brow design is mapped to your bone structure for symmetry, balance, and the most flattering shape.

Lip Blush

Lip Blush enhances the natural color, shape, and symmetry of the lips—creating a soft, youthful tint that looks like you’re always wearing the perfect lip stain.

Lip Blush can:

Add natural color to pale or cool-toned lips
Define the lip borders without harsh lines
Create the illusion of fuller, more lifted lips
Blend and soften asymmetries

The result is a velvety, sheer wash of color that lasts 18–24 months.

Scar Camouflage

Using advanced micropigmentation techniques, we blend pigment seamlessly into the surrounding skin to minimize the visibility of scars and hypopigmented areas.

Ideal for:

Surgical scars
Stretch marks
Trauma or injury scars
Skin graft lines
Hypopigmentation from acne or burns

Each treatment is custom-matched to your skin tone for natural, realistic blending.

Areola Re-Pigmentation

This restorative treatment recreates the natural color and shape of the areola after breast surgery, trauma, or medical treatment. It is often the final, empowering step in the reconstructive journey.

Areola tattooing can:

Restore one or both areolas
Correct asymmetry
Enhance color and shape
Help patients feel whole and confident again

The technique can be soft and subtle—or highly detailed and 3-dimensional—depending on your desired result.

What to Expect During Your Permanent Makeup Appointment

1. Consultation & Design

We begin by discussing your goals and mapping the area. For brows and lips, we pre-draw the design so you can approve shape and color before pigment is implanted.

2. Numbing

A topical anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

3. Pigment Implantation

Using precise tools, Lulu gently implants pigment into the upper dermal layer. Each pass is controlled, detailed, and tailored to your desired look.

4. Aftercare

You’ll receive personalized instructions to ensure proper healing and color retention. Expect mild redness, sensitivity, and minimal peeling depending on the area.

5. Touch-Up

A perfecting session is typically scheduled 6–8 weeks later to refine color and shape as needed.

Healing & Downtime

Healing varies by area but typically includes:

Mild redness or swelling for 24–72 hours
Soft peeling/flaking for several days
Color appearing darker initially, then softening 30–50% as it heals

Most patients return to normal activities immediately, aside from avoiding heavy sweating, sun exposure, and makeup on the treated area during the initial healing window.

Is Permanent Makeup Safe?

Yes—when performed by an experienced permanent makeup artist using sterile, medical-grade equipment. At our practice:

All needles are single-use
Pigments are high-quality and cosmetic-grade
Treatment rooms follow strict safety and sanitation standards

We also review your medical history to ensure you’re an appropriate candidate.

How Long Does It Last?

Results typically last:

Brows: 12–24 months
Lips: 18–24 months
Scar Camouflage: 2–5 years depending on area
Areolas: 3–8 years

Touch-ups are recommended to maintain color vibrancy and shape.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Permanent makeup is ideal for patients who:

Want wake-up-and-go convenience
Have allergies or sensitivities to traditional makeup
Have hair loss due to over-plucking, aging, hormones, or medical conditions
Want to restore symmetry or enhance facial features
