Permanent Makeup in Welwyn Garden City

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

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

Permanent makeup is a form of tattoo. While both techniques involve depositing pigment in the skin, permanent makeup uses slightly different pigments and it is not as deep as the traditional body tattoo.

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 a year or every 2 years.

There is no upper age limit for this procedure, but clients have to be over 18. Most women can safely get this treatment.

How long does PMU treatment take?

Usually the treatment takes from 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the micro-pigmented 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, and 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.

Is Permanent Makeup Painful?

Pain threshold and sensitivity varies from person to person and even from one session to another. The newer, gentler techniques and more advanced equipment makes the process more comfortable. We also use an anaesthetic cream to further minimise your discomfort.

Permanent Makeup Treatment and what to expect

Permanent makeup treatment is done in two sessions, or 3 if you count in the consultation. The initial session takes from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. During this time, we draw a template of previously agreed shape, and adjust it until you accept it.

We always work together to get the best shape for you, that meets your expectations and compliments your facial features and bone structure. We always aim for the most natural effect. Then, when this step is completed, we carry on to the practical part of tattooing your enhancement.

At the beginning the colour may look darker and bolder, but it fades around 20-30% during the next 4 weeks.

Permanent makeup aftercare

During this period, avoid tanning, steam rooms, and swimming pools. Your skin may peel gently, but do not pick, peel or rub it. Wash it with sterile water around 3 times a day, and then apply a thin layer of the healing balm.

After your procedure, you may notice some redness and minor swelling but that will subside very quickly. You can return to work the same day but you should avoid wearing makeup for up to 5 days after your treatment.
