Dear Readers,
I have been contemplating this letter and I am truly humbled by the Creator of this amazing world we live in. I say that because while I have been working in the field of beauty for over 30 years, much of my experience came simply as the result of wanting to be of service…to women. I think back to the joy I felt when I opened my new Avon Sales Kit at just 12 years old. I couldn’t wait to deliver the newspaper to those on my paper route. Yes, they would find an Avon catalogue in the bag. When I collected for the paper, I would ask for their Avon order. I developed relationships with the ladies with makeup, for makeup is something that most women use in some fashion or another. I had no idea in 1995 that permanent makeup would become such an amazing instrument that I would use and meet some of the most incredible women that I would have not met otherwise.
While I really enjoy applying permanent cosmetics and the “wow” of taking years off with no surgery, I knew that I could offer more. In 2009 I made a decision to open my own studio and get back to the paramedical tattooing that I began in the mid-90’s.
That same year while continuing my education, I participated in an areola tattoo workshop and that was my introduction to the MTA (Myself: Together Again) non-profit organization. I was so thrilled to see the beautiful photo journal of one woman’s personal journey told so beautifully…the advocate in me began to blossom.
Permanent Makeup is a wonderful solution for women undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments for cancer… easing the distress of hair loss during an especially difficult time. With the increase in early detection and breast cancer awareness areola tattooing also known, as Breastheticsis becoming the number one choice for complete breast reconstruction post mastectomy.
I want to thank you again for your support and participation in my effort to let women know about their rights, choices and options for complete breast reconstruction post mastectomy.

Serving you is truly my pleasure,

Oncology Esthetics: Permanent Makeup…Looking Good, Feeling Better
By Sarah Oliver
Women wear makeup for many reasons. Some women wake up in the morning and put their face on right away; others prefer a natural, no makeup look. Makeup helps women look their best – and there is a lot to be said about feeling better as a result of looking your best.
What role does makeup play for women that are battling cancer, feel ill physically and experiencing hair loss from treatment? For these patients, hair loss adds additional stress during an already difficult time. Losing hair due to a treatment designed to cure creates a cruel irony that most cancer patients will have to face – often times wreaking havoc on their self-esteem. Self-esteem plays a tremendous role in the success of a patient’s treatment. The ability of a women to feel great about herself during this time propels her forward by leaps and bounds on what will be a long road to recovery.
Many chemotherapy patients will experience total hair loss, including eyelashes and eyebrows. While wigs are commonly used, patients may feel like there is no alternative when they suffer from facial hair loss. This is simply not true. There is a simple, long lasting solution: permanent makeup. Permanent makeup consists of a method which delivers tiny color particles beneath the client’s skin. This quick procedure recreates the illusion of eyebrows and eyelashes, eliminating the need to continually reapply make-up – allowing clients freedom to spend more time focusing on recovery.
During a recent interview, Dr. Tracey Stokes, MD, FACS, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in surgery after mastectomies, was asked what role permanent makeup plays for cancer patients. She stated, “Permanent makeup is a big boost for a woman’s self-esteem during a point when they may not feel well physically and may be self-conscious about their looks. Hair loss, Alopecia and physical deformities may happen as a result of cancer treatment. Permanent makeup helps patients look better without having to do anything – just waking up and feeling better knowing that they look good. It’s a wonderful recovery remedy.”
Permanent makeup helps ease the distress of chemotherapy by preserving the appearance of eyebrows and eyelashes. Women can feel confident with natural looking eyebrows and beautifully defined eyes. It can be applied one month before the client undergoes cancer drug administration. Patients already undergoing treatment can have the procedure performed during an off week (no drugs administered), if approved by a physician.
A recent client of Naturally You, diagnosed with Stage Four Lung Cancer, stated “Although there is no cure for me, I am going to live all that I can…and my eyebrows are important; they make me feel like me.”
If you are a cancer patient experiencing facial hair loss, know that there is an option available to assist you in looking your best. Let permanent makeup help you enter into treatment feeling beautiful and having one less thing to worry about.
