Introducing the innovative Silk Touch technique into the training of permanent makeup artists

Pigment migration is a key issue in performing permanent eyebrows, leading to aesthetic discrepancies and a decline in customer satisfaction. The development and implementation of effective methods for preventing this phenomenon is essential for improving the quality and safety of cosmetology services. Modern, innovative techniques, particularly Silk Touch, demonstrate high potential in minimizing the risk of internal pigment migration due to their delicate effect on the skin and controlled pigment application. The article aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Silk Touch technique for preventing pigment migration and improving the quality of the permanent eyebrows procedure. Methods. A comparative study of the results from training groups of permanent makeup masters, using both the traditional method and the Silk Touch technique, was conducted. The analysis included an assessment of the quality of the procedures, color stability at 1, 3, and 6 months after the procedure, the absence of undesirable shades, and cases of pigment migration. Descriptive statistics methods and comparison criteria for independent samples were used for statistical analysis. The studyʼs results confirmed that training using the Silk Touch technique yields significantly better color stability (p<0.05), a decrease in the frequency of undesirable shades, and a complete absence of internal pigment migration compared to traditional techniques. The method is characterized by delicacy, process control, and reduced skin trauma, which positively affects the speed of recovery and the quality of the final result. Conclusions. The Silk Touch technique is a practical and innovative method for preventing pigment migration during the application of permanent makeup for eyebrows. It can be considered a modern standard in the training of master specialists in this field. Its implementation in training programs contributes to improving the quality of services, achieving a natural and long-lasting result without the risk of changing the shade or moving the pigment.
