How does SofTap hand method differ from other Permanent Makeup procedures?

SofTap™ is a registered trademark of SofTap™ Inc.. SofTap™ is recognized as the leading technique in the field for safety and accuracy. We use a set of fine, in-line needles, that are dipped into a pigment and then softly tapped into the skin, thereby depositing colour permanently into the skin.

Traditional methods of tattooing use a reciprocating needle (rotary or coil machine) which pushes colour into the skin. The SofTap™ method gently lifts the skin (as part of the tapping motion) to deposit color. As a result, there is a definite difference in the amount of discomfort experienced by the client. Many clients who have had permanent makeup with the traditional tattoo machine can attest to the fact that the SofTap™ method is far gentler. Because it is gentler the skin recovers faster.

Because this is a machine less method, there is no loud noise, and no worries about putting color in the wrong places because you will have complete control with the SofTap® hand method.

Little or no touchups

One of the biggest problems that the permanent cosmetic professional faces is having to do so many touchups. The reason why there are so little touchups to do with SofTap® is because for the eyeliner and brow procedures, there is little or no blood. What does this mean? This means that the blood supply is in both the papillary and reticular layers of the dermis. SofTap® is gentle enough so that you do not have to draw blood. The SofTap® TM method places pigment at the surface of the dermal layer. This makes the procedure permanent. The gravity of the color particles then brings it lower into the dermis without unnecessarily traumatizing the reticular and papillary layers of the dermis. Too much blood will help to wash away any color and if blood comes to the surface, so will the macrophages of the immune system which help to engulf any foreign matter that enters the skin.

The SofTap® hand method provides you with a lot of versatility so that your end results will be completely soft and natural looking. Many of the procedures that can be done with the SofTap® hand method are as follows: You can design individual hair strokes in the eyebrows, fill in brows lightly, fill them in solidly, do thin, fine lines for eyeliner and lash enhancement, smudgy effect for eyeliner, combination smudgy liner and lash enhancement, thick upper and lower eyeliner, full lip color, lip liner, lip extension, any of these combinations for lips, scar camouflage, beauty mark, or nipple areola reconstruction.
