Questions

What is semi-permanent makeup?

It's a cosmetic tattooing technique using sterile needles to introduce pigments into the skin for long-lasting definition of eyebrows, eyeliner, or lips.

How long does the treatment last?

Pigments remain visible for several years, with recommended top-ups every 12-18 months to maintain colour intensity and definition.

Is the procedure painful?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort due to anaesthetic cream. Individual pain thresholds vary, but the process is generally well-tolerated.

How many sessions are required?

At least two sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart ensure optimal pigment retention and allow adjustments to shape and colour.

What aftercare is needed?

Avoid water contact for 24 hours, use sunblock, and refrain from gym activities. Full healing takes approximately seven days with proper care.
