WHAT IS SEMI-PERMANENT MAKE-UP?

Semi-permanent make-up, or micropigmentation, was once one of the beauty industry's best kept secrets, but is rapidly becoming one of the most popular treatments available. Micropigmentation is a process whereby hypoallergenic pigments are inserted into the dermal layer of the skin. This pigment will, after the healing process, stay in the skin for a number of years, breaking down and fading with time, dependent on the client's age and skin type.

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?

When you come for your appointment, a suitable colour will be discussed and a flattering shape will be designed, taking into consideration your skin tone and how best to compliment your natural features. A topical anaesthetic will be applied first to minimise any discomfort felt during the procedure, then the procedure will take place. Permanent cosmetic procedures normally require multiple treatment sessions. For best results, clients will be required to return for one touch up procedure between four and 8 weeks after the initial procedure. Be prepared for the colour intensity to be significantly sharper and darker immediately after the procedure. This will subside and become lighter as the tissue heals. This process can take up to ten days. Advice for all permanent cosmetic procedures Since delicate skin or sensitive areas may be swollen or red, it is advised not to make social plans for the same day.
