Frequently asked questions:
A. Permanent cosmetic enhancement - also known as semi permanent make-up and micro-pigmentation - is an advanced form of tattooing, however we do not infuse the pigment as deeply in the skin and therefore the enhancement will not have the permanency of a conventional tattoo.
The pigments we use replicate the colour choices available with conventional cosmetics enabling us to achieve subtle translucent results.
A. We follow a code of practice that ensures a safe treatment.
We choose to work only with hypoallergenic pigments that meet European medical standards and perform an allergy test before the treatment commences.
We also use the highest quality sterile needles, which are disposed of immediately after the treatment is completed.
A. We use effective numbing agents to minimise discomfort. The discomfort felt can be likened to that associated with tweezing eyebrows.
A. Permanent cosmetic enhancement can last for many years dependent on many variables. Softer neutral enhancements tend to fade faster normally requiring a colour boost every 12 months to maintain their fresh appearance.
A. The colour will appear a darker shade than the desired result for up to 1 week after treatment and mild redness and swelling may be apparent for a few days.
