Why SofTap ??
The History of the Hand Method
There is just something special about art created by hand. It is robust and real, painstakingly made to evoke feeling. Museums everywhere celebrate the beauty and genius of works created with our own human hands, and you can see why. Van Gogh, Monet, da Vinci, Renoir, and so many others capture our hearts year after year with their breathtaking artistry. Few things last so long and remain so beautiful, but when done by hand, permanent cosmetics most certainly can.
The history of permanent cosmetics began thousands of years ago. Sharpened sticks and stones were used to implant natural pigments into the skin. You can still see signs of these markings on preserved human remains today. Mummies dating back to the time of Cleopatra still show visible signs of hand tattooed permanent makeupv. Even Ötzi the Iceman has 57 tattoos still visible on his body, and he is over 5000 years old.
Today the hand method has been reinvented with SofTap® Brand Permanent Cosmetics.

Benefits of the SofTap® Hand Method
Maximum Comfort
The first question that friends and family ask is "Did it hurt?" The most common answers are "It wasn't bad at all", "I fell asleep", "Tweezing hurts more", I'm going back to get everything else done". If you are more sensitive than most, all you have to do is tell your SofTap® professional, and they can slow their application process to make you more comfortable. SofTap® is so gentle—you have to feel it to believe it.
Fast Healing Time
Because SofTap® is so gentle, brow procedures can be done without any topical at all. This is great because the less topical used, the faster your skin will heal. In addition, to expedite the healing process, SofTap® professionals can give you the SofTap® post treatment ointment RecoverAll. It is fabulous! It immediately traps the color into the skin, soothes any irritation, and instantly begins the healing process.
Men get SofTap® too! The most popular treatments for men are:
Soft, subtle eyebrow fills—pepper your eyebrows with a bit of natural pigment and you can look ten years younger in just one treatment.

SofTap® color is applied to sterile needles and implanted under the epidermis, just at the surface of the skin's dermal layer. This method is very controlled and very efficient.
After implantation, the pigment rests and is covered by the epidermis as the skin heals, giving the pigment a softer look than its initial implantation.
The final result is a very natural, very soft look for everyday makeup.
The results of your procedure will vary depending on the method used to implant color, the colors used, the technician's hands, and everyday environmental factors. You must expect your permanent cosmetic procedure to fade somewhat over time, as your face will be more exposed to the elements than the rest of your body. Maintain your permanent cosmetics by visiting your technician regularly for touch ups as you need them, this depends on the color you chose and the type of application. If you chose a light color and light application, you may need to come back more often than those who choose a darker color and darker application. We recommend lighter colors and applications more regularly as these look the most natural.

Because this procedure is permanent, you need to make sure you see someone very skilled and who is a good personal match for you. Shop for skill and personality, not price.
