Permanent makeup in Hoddesdon

Permanent makeup, often referred to as semi permanent makeup, or cosmetic tattoo, is a cosmetic procedure where pigments are tattooed into the skin. It is commonly used in the beauty industry to enhance and beautify different areas of the face.

Is permanent makeup really permanent?

Although permanent makeup is often considered “permanent,” it doesn’t last forever. It doesn’t fade completely, but it fades over time gradually. To keep it looking fresh we recommend yearly or 2 yearly colour boosts.

 

What areas can be treated with permanent makeup?

Permanent eyeliner can create the effect of fuller lashes, or various size eyeliners.

Permanent lips can correct lip shape, balance symmetry, or enhance the colour of the lips, from a natural to bolder shades.

Permanent eyebrows can fill in sparse areas, correct the shape of the eyebrows, giving them a fuller and more defined look. It can also create brows where the client lost them completely due to chemotherapy or alopecia.

 

Permanent makeup procedure step by step

Consultation is the first stage, where we will discuss your expectations, ask about any contraindications, assess your skin type, and patch test you for pigment and numbing cream.

You’ll complete any necessary paperwork, including an informed consent form and a health questionnaire.

We will clean and disinfect your skin and apply a numbing cream. We will then draw a temporary template for your approval. Once agreed upon, the actual pigmentation procedure begins.

This is the process of pigment application to get your desired look. A follow up session 4-6 weeks later is required for any necessary corrections or touch-ups.

 

How long does permanent makeup appointment take?

Between 1.5h to 2.5h. Depending on the procedure and the treatment area.
