It is an exciting new procedure, in which carefully applied pigment is placed in to the dermal layer of the skin. The pigment is made of a natural iron oxide. It is hypoallergenic , and there are no fragrances, emollients or other ingredients added. Your preferred colour is implanted into a lower layer of the skin, where it remains for up to 5 years. The pigments we use are non reactive and virtually limitless in the choice of colours available.

Between four and seven days ~ depending on the procedure that you have had done.                                             

What is the healing period like?                                                                                                             

On the second day after the procedure a light crust will form ~ which only dry to your touch, this will fall off in a few days. During this time the pigment area may look a darker than the colour decided upon ~ once the crust flakes off it is common for the colour to lighten by up to 30%.

How soon can I go out?

Immediately! The colour may appear a little darker than usual for the first few days. The crusting is only slightly visible, but usually never really noticeable.

How long does each procedure take?

The initial procedure will generally take between 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours. Follow up procedures usually do not require as much time as the initial application.

What type of procedures are available?

Eye Liner & Eye Lash Enhancement ~ A fine, soft and natural line can be created to add depth and definition to your eyes. Your lashes will appear to be thicker. Colour and thickness can be individualised and make up can be applied over the eye liner for a more dramatic evening look.

Eyebrows ~ Eyebrows are the frame of the eyes and face, and when designed properly, can lift the eyes to give a more youthful appearance, make the cheekbones more prominent, and influence how the nose is perceived. If your eyebrows are sparse from tweezing, shaving or alopecia, or if your brows are blonde or light in colour, you can now enjoy the luxury of natural looking semi~permanent eyebrows.

Lip Colour ~ Lip liner and full lipstick colour is perfect for reshaping uneven lips and for making the lips appear larger and fuller. It has the added benefit of preventing lipstick from bleeding. It covers scars and can give your lips a natural or more dramatic blend of colour enhancement with colour that lasts all day ~ every day!

What sort of people have it done?

Women or men with hair loss due to alopecia or who just have very sparse hair growth. Athletic women, and those with oily skin who tend to shed make up easily. Women with vision problems, glasses and contact lenses wearers. In fact any woman who wants to look her best at all times!

How would I know which colour to choose?

Beginning with a variety of basic pigment shades, virtually any colour can be mixed and created to compliment your natural skin tones. We work with you, discussing your preferences and making suggestions to help to perfect your look, custom designing your semi~permanent make up, with colours that will suit you best.

What if styles change?

As semi~permanent make up professionals, we never do anything that is too trendy. We use colours that are custom blended to compliment your skin tone, eye and hair colours, to give a soft and natural appearance. However, the colours can be changed, at any time, by blending another colour over the original, if you wish.
