Semi permanent make-up

Semi-permanent make-up is administered into the skin via micropigmentation. Top quality bio-inert pigment is impregnated into the second layer of the skin. All treatments are done with top of the range branded ‘Phibrow’ equipment which is imported from Italy. All needles become biohazardous after usage and are disposed of in line with local council policy, to ensure absolute sterility of equipment for all clients and every treatment.

Semi-permanent treatments differ from permanent treatments because the molecular structure of the pigments are smaller, meaning it does not over saturate the skin. The work will look its darkest and brightest for the next 5 days post treatment, and quickly fade as the skin heals over the pigment.

During the consultation it is very important that a full medical history is taken, all current medications are recorded and reviewed. It is vital that a patch test is carried out to rule out any bad reactions to the products used, particularly the numbing agent – if you have had any adverse reactions to numbing injections at the dentist, you are not suitable for the numbing creams used.
