Profile – Permanent Makeup Machines- Features & Benefits |
| Features: |
| |
| The
Mosaic and The Merlin:
Our most popular machines, accommodates both ROUND
and |
| FLAT
needles, and have
a powerful rotary motor, providing ultra smooth, noise free operation. |
| The
motor section
is sealed at the factory so that it can be cold solution sterilized. |
| The Mosaic
features a 10,000 rpm and the Merlin has 8,000 rpm. |
| An optional
foot pedal is also available for hands free speed control. |
| |
| Size: Approximately
3 1/2 inches |
| •Can
be autoclaved (Re-used), or used with disposable parts for time-saving convenience |
| •
Disposable parts from the motor down help to eliminate cross contamination
|
| •
This is the only rotary machine on the market that rotates up and down .
The design moves the • ..needle
up and down for an “in and out” procedure, rather than zig-zag. |
| The
Benefits of This Design Are: |
| •
A better, more proper penetration of pigment into the skin |
| •
Less trauma. |
| •
Side to side motions can damage the skin |
| •
Up and down only makes a pinhole, thus better healing of area |
| •
Less touch-ups needed |
| •
Less fading means more professional results |
| Our state
of the art needle tubes easily snap into the front casing, and when assembled
to the motor, provides stability, which will virtually eliminate vibration
from the motor. The pentagon shaped opening on the front casing effectively
seals and resists any back flow of water or pigment, and therefore, no chance
of cross contamination of fluids. The tube can accommodate round or flat
needles. This feature makes the interchangeable process of designing and
outlining a breeze! |
| |
The needle sleeves not only protect the needle, but are ergonomically shaped
to reduce slippage and
extended comfort for the hand. Merlin comes with a metal sleeve which can
be autoclaved (sterilized), OR individually packaged, pre-sterilized disposable,
sleeves can be used. |
| |
| Our
specially designed needle caps also accommodate both round and flat needles,
and eliminate splatter. The precision + engineered tip holds the needle
snuggly and allows the proper amount of pigment flow for each needle configuration.
Just behind the tip serves as a holding area for pigment. It creates an
airflow that allows pigment to flow smoothly, maximizing pigment deposit,
for the best possible result. As an alternative, “flat only”
caps and “round only” caps are available for technicians who
are used to working with one needle design shape at a time. |
| |
| The
Airflow Cap: |
| Not
enough air causes a ‘vacuum’ effect and sucks up pigment. Too
much air can force pigment down too hard and will splatter, and less pigment
gets to the skin. Less pigment in the skin will cause the color to fade.
Merlin caps regulate the airflow for an even amount of pigment and better
result. When we say less touch-ups, we mean it, because we did it right
the first time! |
| Barrier
Film Roll: |
| For total
protection of items that you will handle or reach for during the procedure
and from contamination to your machine, we recommend that you use new, disposable,
Barrier Film with every procedure. |
| |
| Besides
the cap, sleeve, front casing, transmission, and needles being all disposable
from the motor down, the Barrier Film can be used as a Machine Guard to
insure total sterilization from cross contamination of blood, fluids, pigment,
and stains from your gloves. |
| |
| Using
the Film Roll as a Machine Guard : |
| The permanent
makeup machine is a professional tool. It is important to keep it sterilized,
clean, and looking new! |

SoftTap is disposable
and must be thrown away each time |
| |
|
|
- |
Needles cost about
$4.00, and the unit itself is around $15.- 20.00. |
| |
|
|
- |
It can only be used
with flat needles so more likelihood of scarring. |
| |
|
|
- |
A lot of touch-ups
are needed because the penetration is not deep enough and is hard |
| |
|
|

on the operator’s
hand |
| |
|
|
- |
Needles have to be
changed each time for each new color used. Time consuming. |
*
Merlin does the same quality of work without need to press so hard. Result
is very similar, but with
..more versatility, comfort for the technician, and convenience. |
| |
|
Coil
– (TriLab) |
| |
|
|
- |
Coil was
originally designed for the body and is very strong. Price is around $700-
800.00. Loses it’s sharpness each procedure. The Coil is LOUD and
heavy sounding. The
technician has to ‘pull back’ at times. With the Merlin, you
can actually ‘press in’ gently,
for a more soft appearance and comfortable procedure. |
| |
|
|
- |
Needles
become dull. Our Accupoint Series remain sharp throughout the procedure
each time. |
| |
|
Nouveau
Contour – Only tips are disposable. |
| |
|
|
- |
3 yr warranty
on microprocessor, 1 yr on the handpiece |
| |
|
|
- |
Has digital
system for consistent speed, even with resistant skin, but it is not necessarily
a good idea to have a “cruise control” device operating, when
sometimes a lighter or
heavier touch is needed. |
| |
|
|
- |
Needle
& Needle tube are integrated as one disposable cartridge and independent
of
the handpiece. They claim to have “internal” diaphragms in place
to halt and prevent
fluids or contaminants from entering into the handpiece. BUT> Since the
machine itself
cannot ever be taken apart, how can you know there is no backflow? There
is still a
strong likelihood of cross-contamination. |
| |
|
|
- |
Made in
Germany, so it is very expensive. What if something needs to be replaced?
There are no disposable parts on the machine itself so it must be sent to
the “factory”.
The machine display is only a power unit, a very basic motor with a fancy
package, has
cross contamination factors and very expensive. |
| |
|
Mei-Cha
– Machine is similar, but ours is a more advanced, engineered design.
|
| |
|
|
- |
Parts and needles are
much more expensive (approx. $4.00 per needle) |
| |
|
|
- |
Pigment is very expensive
and smaller quantity (12cc) Ours is (25cc) |
| |
|
|
- |
Has computerized power
unit for consistent implantation. |

KP –
Products are made in Viet Nam and needles have been known to be rusted in
some cases!
Watch for quality and workmanship on this product. |
| |
|
|
- |
Pigments are watery. |
| |
|
|
- |
The manufacturer
sells this to the public very cheap, so what would even be the benefit
of a Distributor trying to be a Distributor? |
| At
Biotouch, we give our Distributorships customer service, technique, and
support. |
| |
|
Tattoo
Machines -
This one is like a heavy gun! Customers claim they have gotten tattoos for
a
much cheaper price and wonder why it is so much more expensive for brows
or lips. |
Why?
Because our products are gentle and soft, and our machines prevent trauma
to the face. Body
parts are much different. The wrist action involved with other machines
causes a repeated “flex” that
over time is damaging to the technician’s hand and wrist area. Talk
about Carpal Tunnel!
Our machines are designed to keep both technician and client comfortable. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| *
If you use the Merlin at a higher speed with more pigment, it will look
more like a tattoo. |
| TIPS
– Follow up with the client after they have purchased a machine. Make
an additional sale or sell them our machine only. |
| |
| |
|
|
Mention
to them that if they are in the middle of a procedure and the machine breaks,
what are they going to do? If they feel Merlin is too costly for them, offer
the Mozart as a backup, but them know that it is semi-disposable. |
| |
|
|
Compare
our product values without addressing any disadvantage over one machine
or the other. For example, don’t put down the Mozart in hopes of selling
the Merlin. Rather, just be factual about their differences not “disadvantages”.
They may change their mind and purchase the Merlin anyway! |
