What is permanent Make up or micropigmentation?

This is the application of placing hypo allergenic micro pigments into the the upper layer of the skin using cosmetically graded needles. The pigment will, after a healing process, stay in the skin for a number of years. It will break down and fade with time, dependent on the patients age; skin type and lifestyle.

This procedure is also referred to as permanent make-up, semi permanent makeup, cosmetic tattooing or micro pigmentation.

Microblading, semi permanent makeup, digital blading, nano blading, permanent makeup, cosmetic tattooing, micropigmentation… so many names, but the end result can be the same and is down to the technicians skill. It’s just a style/technique and a different place of equipment used to perform the treatment. Microblading can be a lot more traumatic on the skin than a digital machine, often leading to scarring after a few treatments yet clients think they are going for the less invasive/less permanent option. This is not the case.

Anyone who wears makeup will benefit from semi permanent makeup.

• If you regularly pencil in your eyebrows, would like to achieve a better shape or fill gaps where they have been over plucked.

There is no way to determine before hand exactly how long your colour will remain visible. It depends on your individual skin type, skin routines, sun exposure,,lifestyle, colour choice, medication levels and general health.

If you wear contact lenses you will need to bring glasses to wear immediately after the treatment.

Your treatment will begin with a thorough consultation, during which we will discuss exactly what you would like from your treatment. Your skin tone and type will then be analysed and a colour will be mixed specifically suited to your skin tone and hair colour. Facial symmetry will then be addressed and a shape will be designed to enhance and compliment your features.
When you are happy with your shape, colour and placement, the treatment will go ahead.

You will need to wait at least 21 days after botox or filler before having a treatment. Please note that having botox or filler will alter the shape and symmetry of your treatment. Lip filler also reduces the amount of pigment retention.
You should allow 2 hours for new procedures and for retouch appointments 1 hour 30 minutes.
A minimum of 4 weeks must be allowed before any further treatment can be carried out. We advise between 4-6 weeks although if you have medical concerns it may affect the healing procedure and would then advise to wait 6-8 weeks before treating.
If you are having a lip treatment and you suffer from cold sores you MUST take Zovirax/Aciclover tablets 5 days before and 5 days after your treatment.
Your eyeliner cannot be done if you have false lashes on. They must be removed prior to treatment. You must then wait 2 weeks before getting your lashes done again.
A patch is required 12 to 24 hours before the treatment. This does not however, guarantee that you will not have a reaction to the pigment at any time in the future.
Everyone tolerates pain at different levels, but with advanced new equipment and techniques, discomfort will be minimal. We will ensure you remain comfortable at all times.
You should not wear makeup in the treated area directly after your treatment and for the next 7 days.

Lips

This is the perfect way to balance the lips and correct tiny imperfections. It can restore shape and fullness often lost with age and transform thin and uneven lips. A large range of colours are available to blend with your natural lip colour or your favourite lipstick, the choice is yours! This will be mixed especially for you on the day of treatment.

Lip liner
A line to define the outline of the lips adding shape and definition. Perfect if you wish to spend less time applying make up.

Lip blush
This still defines the outline of the mouth but gives a softer more natural look and gives more symmetry to the lips. A subtle blush colour is added to the lip liner blending the liner into the body of the lips but not all the way through the lip.

Full lip colour
An overall colour is placed through the lips giving you the full lipstick look with the maximum definition.

3D lips
An amazing way to achieve definition, volume and symmetry of lips. The treatment is completed with 2-3 shades to highlight and shade in all the right places to maximise volume and fullness.

Eyes

Semi-permanent eyeliner can dramatically define the eyes, creating a lasting beautiful look that doesn’t smudge or run.

Our eyeliner and eyelash enhancement treatment ensures there is no smudging, no running, no panda eyes, swim proof, gym proof and will survive through everything.

You can choose between natural eyelash enhancement to the ultra-precise liquid liner look and though black is the most common colour, other colours are offered. Top and/or bottom can be done ─ it is simply down to choice. If you are not sure, your specialist can help you.

Eyelash Enhancement
This gives a darker thicker looking lash making a more defined eye, opening the eye and giving the illusion of size. A fine line of pigment is placed through the base of the lash line. Great if you don’t wish to have a visible line above the lashes.

Eyeliner
This is a thicker line that runs through and above the lashes giving the look of a conventional eyeliner. Thickness and placement are discussed prior to treatment to ensure we obtain your desired results.

Latina eyeliner
Let your eyeliner make a statement with a high definition dramatic line of maximum thickness. Please note, thicker eyeliner may require more than 2 treatments

Eyebrows

Permanent Make up can transform your eyebrows. It can take years off you whether you have sparse, over-plucked, patchy brows or are suffering from a hair loss condition or have been through chemotherapy, or if you simply want to add colour and definition. If you are wanting a celebrity ‘WOW’ brow or an extremely understated natural hair simulation brow, this is the treatment for you.

Eyebrows really do make a huge difference: they will frame the face, can make you appear younger and draw attention to the eye area. A blend of medical grade mineral pigments is mixed for each client, so permanent Make up is suitable for all hair & skin colours.

Hairstroke / Nano Brows
The Hair Strokes effect brow technique is used to mimic natural hairs using the finest nano needles to create tiny individual hairs. Pigment are implanted under the skin to create a natural looking brow. This is an ideal treatment for people who have experienced hair loss and don’t want a really obvious ‘made up’ brow. This is the most natural of all looks offered.

Ombré
A soft graduated shading technique that looks like air brushed powder under the skin. It gives an incredibly natural multi dimensional finish, that is wonderfully flattering for any brow. This technique is perfectly customisable so a bolder look is also possible.

Powdered Brows
This technique mimics the ‘effect’ you achieve when you use a brow powder or pencil. It offers a ‘blocked in’ appearance as the pigment is applied using a technique that covers the brow area from the inner brow through to the tail in one block colour. It adds depth, definition, and results in a more ‘made up’ look. When healed, you will enjoy a permanent, defined but soft powdered look

Combination Eyebrows
Liberate yourself from your brow pencil. Create more volume and shape in your brow with the addition of a few expertly placed natural looking micro fine hair strokes. This eyebrow tattoo technique is excellent for balancing asymmetrical brows and filling in gaps leaving you with beautiful naturally shaped and full brows. The hair strokes are created with the Nano needle, finest most advanced needle available
