How It Works

Soft Tap Permanent Makeup is available only to trained professionals. While the method is indeed simple, it also requires an expert hand. The method involves a specific needle assembly that is exclusive to SofTap®. Though the patient should not perform the method herself under any circumstances, she should be aware of the process. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the SofTap® Permanent Makeup application process.

1. The needle assembly is placed on the point of pigmentation, for example, the lash line or the lips. At this point, all of the needles will touch the skin.
2. The needles are pressed forward slightly. At this point, the needle will lightly "catch" the skin. The skin will not be depressed by the needle, as this will cause unnecessary discomfort.
3. The front needle is lifted through the back needle, depositing pigment to the area of the skin where the needles originally met. At this point, the small bit of skin in the intersection between the front and back needles will gently slough off.

Colors

SofTap® offers a wide selection of colors for the brows, eyes and lips. The colors are divided into cool and warm palettes. When the application process begins, the technician will assist in selecting the colors appropriate for your skin tone. Here are some tips to keep in mind when selecting colors for application:

Brows

Brow color should match the natural shade of the brow area, not the color of the hair on the head. This is because hair color can change easily, whether through natural or artificial means. An incredibly diverse selection of brow shades is available, which may make the decision easier or more difficult. Remember to turn to the technician for help.

Eyes

SofTap® offers five vivid shades of eyeliner, known as Special I-Liner FX. They are:

1. Irish Moss: A brownish-green that is much more brown than green! It is surprisingly neutral.
2. Jade Granite: An unusual grayish-green. It is known to lighten the eye area considerably, resulting in a refreshed, awakened look.
3. Blue Lagoon: A deep, rich, midnight blue that almost looks black in the jar. This is especially striking on blue eyes.
4. Black Orchid: Ideal for the woman who loves her eyes lined intensely dark, this shade is a sharp, jet black.
5. Tempting Teal: A vivid shade that can be toned down by mixing with other, more neutral hues.

Lips

The collection of lip colors is divided into four sections. Each contains a variety of shades, and most of them are very natural and fresh, while others are slightly more vibrant. Brighter hues can easily be mixed with lighter ones, resulting in a subdued hue. The sections are:

1. Mauve/Pinks
2. Brown/Pinks
3. Natural Pinks
4. Orange/Pinks

Things to Remember

As you undergo Soft Tap Permanent Makeup application, you will notice several important things. Keep these points in mind prior to your appointment; this will help alleviate any surprise when the procedure begins.

• Unlike permanent makeup methods that utilize electronic machines, the SofTap® method is relatively quiet. However, a low, Velcro-like noise is emitted when the needles come off the skin as each tap occurs. This sound is a good sign – it means that the needle is going deep enough into the dermis to actually deliver the permanent pigment.

• The skin will be stretched very tautly. This is to ensure enough resistance for the needles to lift the skin. The looser the skin is, the greater the likelihood that pain will be felt.

• The skin will be tapped at a fast rate, at a minimum of at least three taps per second.
