Professional results with any cosmetic procedure require the use of a professionally cultivated color palette. Cleo Color has developed a series of sophisticated pigments designed specifically for use by professional practitioners of cosmetic tattooing. All Cleo Color pigments are formulated from iron or titanium dioxides and stabilized in a base of alcohol, glycerin and distilled water by a patented homogenizing/pasteurization process that insures Cleo Colors are safe and remain true in color. With proper techniques, you can be confident that Cleo Colors will not oxidize or fade (to undertones) with time. Despite claims, pigments not containing iron oxides have not passed the test of time.
Don’t be fooled...time will tell!
Iron oxide is iron that has been changes by oxygen. Iron oxide pigments have been used for hundreds if not thousands of years. Iron oxide pigments are not absorbed by the body as with geritol type of tablet. The iron that is used by the body’s system is prepared in a completely different method. There is absolustely no evidence probable to the biochemistry affect of iron oxide pigment in the skin. Consider this: I live in an area where the soil has so much iron in it that it is visually red; but many of the trees in our area turn yellow in summer because they lack iron. The iron in the soil is not soluble and not absorbed by trees. The same is true of the iron oxide pigments. They are put into the skin in a solution, which evaporates, and then leaves the iron oxide to be perceived as color when viewed through the epidermis and upper dermis
Iron oixide pigment molecules are usually least 6 more microns in size. Some people believe that iron can be absorbed into the blood stream.
Iron that is applied intradermally into the skin can be absorbed by the skin but must be a much smaller molecule. Permanent cosmetic pigment particle size is simply too large to be absorbed by the body. Molecule shape and size are less importance than understanding basic pigment information
Several things affect the color as it heals in the skin:
HEALING ASPECTS: the skin may heal into much collagen, which is opaque. If the skin is over worked, it will heal with more collagen and will look lighter as you look through the opacity of the collagen or scar tissue.
MIXING OF PIGMENTS WITH CONSIDERATION TO CLIENT’S UNERTONE HAS A HIGH IMPACT on the perception of the healed in color. Pigments have a perceived color, which you see in the bottle with an undertone. It is important that this undertone be understood in order to compliment the undertones in the client’s skin so that the healed color will be perceived acceptably
EXPOSURE TO OUTSIDE ELEMENTS SUCH AS SUN, WIND, DRY AIR, SALT AND WATER. Exposure to sunlight or any UV light will destroy yellow undertones, then red tones. The sun takes much longer to destroy blue tones
