Semi-Permanent Make-up is also known as micropigmentation or tattooing. It is a procedure whereby coloured pigments are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin. Although it is principally the same as conventional tattooing, the type of inks used and depth the inks are implanted differ.     It is known as semi-permanent make-up as it does tend to fade over time depending on a person's age, skin type and sun exposure.   Having semi-permanent make-up gives your features shape and definition by enhancing your own natural beauty without the hassle of applying make-up. There are a variety of treatment areas that cosmetic micropigmentation can be used on such as eyebrows, eyeliner and lips.

Eyebrows

This procedure is perfect for anyone who wants to enhance their natural brow or has sparse hair growth. The difference balanced and shaped brows can make is amazing. Different techniques can be used to achieve your desired look.

Eyeliner and Eyelash Enhancement

This can be applied as a subtle enhancement, a dramatic eyeliner, and anything in-between. Micropigmentation can dramatically help define the eyes for a great look that is long lasting and smudge free.

Lip liner and Full colour

Micropigmentation is a great way to enhance the shape and colour making the lips look fuller and more shapely. You can choose natural tones, or for some who can't bare not wearing lipstick, there are plenty of vibrant tones to choose from. This procedure can help reduce lipstick bleed, ensuring you have perfect lips all day, every day.

How long will my make up last?

This will depend upon your skin type, age lifestyle and colour choice. Although the pigment molecules stay in the skin indefinitely, they will however fade over time. Top-ups are generally required between 9 months and 2 years, however this can vary.

How long will it take?

Each procedure varies. It is usually recommended to allow a minimum of 1 ½ hours for a first time procedure for eyeliner and 2 ½ hours for a first time eyebrow or lip procedure. This can be confirmed prior to your treatment.

Are the procedures painful?

This varies with each client and procedure area. With the latest techniques, anaesthetics and advanced new equipment, discomfort is minimal.

Do I have a choice of colour and its placement?

What will happen after the procedure?
