Q.
What is Semi Permanent Make-up?
A. Semi Permanent Make-up
is a non-surgical procedure used to implant coloured pigments into
the skin to create or enhance a cosmetic appearance.
Q.
Who can benefit from Semi Permanent Make-up?
A. Everyone and anyone who
wants to look their best 24 hours a day. Semi Permanent Make-up can
make you look younger, fresher and healthier. See our "Suitable
for..."
page for more details
Q.
How will I know what it will look like?
A. Before any Semi
Permanent Make-up is applied I will go through a detailed
consultation with you. This will include assessing the shape and
colours you require which will be 'drawn' on and used as a 'stencil'
so that you have a good idea of what the final result will be based
on.
Q.
How long will the treatment take?
A. Your initial
consultation will take approximately 1 hour. On the day of the
treatment we would typically spend about an hour agreeing on shape
and colour which will ensure you the final results are to your
satisfaction. The treatment will take around 90 minutes to complete
depending on the area involved and the work required (including the
time needed for the soothing balm)
Q.
Will it hurt?
A. Before the treatment
starts, I apply very effective topical anaesthetic creams to the
areas required and if you were to feel any minor discomfort
throughout then I can apply a further soothing balm. Some clients have
even fallen asleep during the treatment!
Q.
What will I look like after the treatment?
A. Immediately after the
treatment there may be a little swelling or redness but I will give
you a pre-procedure advice sheet to help minimise the swelling. This
will usually last no more than 24 hours. The colour may look
slightly darker for a few days but will lighten to your desired
shade.
Q.
How long will the make-up last?
A. Semi Permanent Make-up
will last on average for 3 to 5 years. Due to different skin types,
ages and other external factors, the pigment will break down and
fade over time. It is recommended that you have a "colour refresh"
treatment every 18 months to keep the make-up looking fresh.
Q.
Is the treatment safe?
A. The equipment used
complies with all relevant health and safety requirements. The
pigments used meet strict European medical standards. All needles
are disposable, sterile and of the highest quality. Steralisation
and hygiene is of the utmost importance before, during and after the
treatment. Reactions to semi permanent cosmetics are very
rare.
Q.
What about after care?
A. Written after care
instructions and product will be given as well as verbal
instructions. If you have any concerns, do not hesitate to contact
me. |
