Semi Permanent makeup explained
Sunday, January 25th, 2009
Semi permanent make-up is now generally referred to as permanent makeup. This section explains how it works and how it is applied. For further information contact reception.
Semi Permanent makeup is now an established beauty procedure, in which carefully applied permanent pigments, made of pure, inorganic minerals, are placed in the dermal layer of the skin. It is hypo-allergenic, 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. A virtually limitless choice of colours is available. The make-up is perfectly safe and has been approved by doctors and favourably reviewed by many respected beauty writers.
Semi permanent make-up is considered permanent since the implanted pigment cannot be washed off. In time, fading will occur and some or all of the colour will need to be reapplied. Semi permanent make-up can last up to one to three years and will gradually fade away.
Does Semi Permanent Make-up hurt?
For most people it isn’t a problem. For others it can be a little uncomfortable depending on the individual’s pain threshold. However anaesthetic creams are applied prior and throughout treatment to keep any discomfort to a minimum.
Is Semi Permanent make-up safe?
Yes, the strictest hygiene and sterilisation standards are followed and pre-packed, sterile cartridges are new for each client. No chemicals are used, only minerals and glycerine. Clients are given an allergy test prior to treatment.
Who can benefit from Semi Permanent make-up?
Anyone and everyone who desires a natural enhancement and to give freedom from the daily application of make-up.
