Semi-Permanent Make Up
Will my eyebrows have to be shaved off before semi-permanent makeup?
Every client is different, but as a general rule and from experience, clients tend to find eyebrow treatments the most comfortable, with eyeliner and lips usually a little more uncomfortable depending on sensitivity. A topical anaesthetic is applied throughout the treatment, and your specialist will be aware of any areas that are becoming increasingly sensitive during the treatment and will work accordingly to ensure optimum results with minimal discomfort.

Can I go in the sun before and after my treatment?
Avoid natural sunlight and sunbed exposure on the treated area for at least seven days before AND after the treatment date and definitely until the skin is fully healed. Use a minimum SPF30 on the treated area after it has healed, as exposure to the sun can cause discolouration and fading of the pigment.
What can I do to help the healing process?
At the time of your treatment, you will be given full aftercare instructions. To ensure optimum results, please ensure you follow the aftercare advice given during your appointment and on the aftercare leaflet provided.

What will I look like straight after my treatment?
Your Semi-Permanent Make-Up colour will be considerably stronger immediately after the treatment, but it will soften to a more natural shade in time.

How long does Semi-Permanent Make-Up last?
Semi-Permanent Make-Up typically lasts between 12 to 36 months. Regular annual colour boosts are recommended to keep the make-up looking at it’s very best. Please be aware that even though it is called Semi-Permanent Make-Up, it is highly unlikely that the pigment will completely disappear and the skin will revert to its pre-tattooed state even after 36 months.
Can I drink alcohol and caffeine prior to my treatment?
It is advisable to avoid alcohol and caffeine the night before and the day of the treatment, as alcohol and caffeine consumption can affect pigment retention.
