Going through chemotherapy is an incredibly tough journey that can feel extremely lonely, but there is a way to feel like yourself with absolutely no effort during this process –– permanent cosmetics. No matter what you are dealing with in life, when you look good, you feel good! There is nothing simpler than waking up with your eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips done for you.

This is such a sensitive time for you and our goal is to make you feel good and like yourself. “Permanent cosmetics should be a feel-good thing,” says Carmella at The Permanent Cosmetic & Lash Studio. “You deserve to treat yourself to absolutely anything that will lift your spirits and help you keep a positive mindset.”

If you will be experiencing chemotherapy and are interested in permanent cosmetics, the procedure must be done at least two weeks prior to chemo and radiation because the skin will be compromised once starting treatment. The skin will be more delicate and the healing process will be longer. The body cannot process another procedure during chemo.

If you’d like to book a consultation to have a better understanding for you personally, call or text (610)-883-0636. We would love to help you in your journey. You can also visit our website at www.permanentu.com for more information!

Testimonials

“When I was going through chemo, I felt horrible, but when I looked in the mirror, I felt like myself which made all the difference in my attitude. It’s all about your attitude!”  ~ Barbara S.

“I had cervical cancer and went through 32 treatments of a combination of radiation and chemo. I had my eyeliner done prior to starting treatments. It made me feel in control and it made me feel much more confident to go through the treatments because I looked well, not sick. I lost my hair, but because I didn’t look sick nobody knew. I spoke in front of 2,000 people for a sales meeting and nobody knew. Having my eyeliner done DEFINITELY kept me positive during my treatments. It’s the little things that matter so much, and permanent makeup definitely was one of those things.”  ~ Tami S.
