Permanent makeup near Welwyn Garden City

Permanent makeup, also called micropigmentation, microblading, cosmetic tattoo or semi permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattooing technique that has been evolving over the last 20 years. It looks very natural and soft compared to how it used to look years ago.

There are many salons that offer permanent makeup services, and it is important to look at each portfolio when choosing your technician.

Permanent makeup lasts between 2-5 years and doesn’t need to be repeated often. We recommend the colour boost treatment to refresh the colour once every year or 2.

There is no upper age limit for this procedure, but clients must be over 18.

How long does permanent makeup appointment take?

Usually the treatment takes from 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the area.

How long does permanent makeup last?

Whether you hear term permanent makeup, semi-permanent tattoo, or micropigmentation, all these are the same treatment, just with different names. Permanent makeup is never fully permanent, as it fades over time. Several factors, such as quality and type of skin, pigment and technique, age and lifestyle determine how well it lasts. On average 2-5 years, but in many cases longer.

 

Is permanent makeup painful?

Pain threshold and sensitivity varies from person to person. The gentler technique and more advanced equipment make the treatment more comfortable. We also use an anaesthetic cream to further minimise your discomfort.

Permanent makeup treatment is done in two sessions, or 3 if you count in the consultation. The consultation is quick and takes 15 mins, the initial session takes from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. During this time, we draw a template of a shape for your approval.

We always work together with our clients to get the best shape that meets their expectations, compliments facial features and bone structure. We always aim for the most natural effect.

Then we tattoo your enhancement. Immediately after the colour may look darker and bolder, but it fades around 20-30% during the next 4 weeks.
