Permanent cosmetic procedures normally require multiple treatment sessions. For best results, clients will be required to return for at least one touch up procedure between four and six weeks after the initial procedure.
In the initial procedure we always implant less pigment, this to allow the client to get used to the new shape and colour. Once the pigment is in place it will last a long time so it is important for the client to be happy.
Be prepared for the colour intensity to be significantly sharper and darker immediately after the procedure. This will subside and become lighter as the tissue heals. This process can take up to ten days.

Advice for all Permanent Cosmetic Procedures
Since delicate skin or sensitive areas may be swollen or red, it is advised not to make social plans for the same day.
- Please wear your normal makeup to the salon on the day of the procedure.
- Do not take aspirin, Ibuprofen or Coumadin for 2 days before and 2 days after the procedure.
- Do not discontinue any medication before consulting your doctor.
- Do not drink alcohol the night before your treatment.
- A patch test will be performed unless waived upon request.
Eyebrow Procedures
- Any waxing should be performed at least 48 hours before the procedure: Electrolysis no less than five days before the procedure.
- Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for two weeks prior to the procedure
Eyeliner Procedures
Eyes are the windows to the soul, and they are the first place people look at when talking to you so, to ensure you send out the right messages, beautify your eyes with the permanent makeup lash enhancements and liner.
Lipliner/Colour Procedures
- If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), we advise you to contact your doctor to obtain the proper prescription medication to prevent such outbreaks.
- Alternatively, obtain herpes medication for example Zovirax from your local chemist and use one week before and one week after your procedure. This can help minimise an outbreak.
- Permanent cosmetic procedures do not cause cold sores, however if you carry the virus, it lays dormant in the body and can be aroused by the procedure.
- Lip wax or bleaching treatments should not be undertaken for at least a two-week period preceding your permanent cosmetic procedure.
Beauty spots
We advise not to have a perfectly round spot, as this is not natural looking.
Surgery
If cosmetic surgery has been carried out within the last five years in the area the procedure is to be carried out a letter from your surgeon must be produced before the procedure can take place.
Botox and dermal fillers
Clients considering botox and dermal fillers are advised to have semi permanent makeup first then to wait two months for the area to settle before having botox or dermal fillers.
Initial darker appearance of the procedural area
All permanent cosmetic procedures will initially appear somewhat darker than the subsequently healed version. The following explanation will provide the reason why this is so:
To apply pigment in the upper dermis location of the skin, it is necessary to implant through the top layers of the skin, the epidermis. The epidermis layers of the skin collects and then exfoliates dead skin cells as new cells are produced. As the dead skin cells in the epidermis layer of the skin are exfoliated, tiny particles of pigment that are trapped in the epidermis are also discarded with the dead skin cells. When the total process is complete only the pigment in the dermis will remain. As a result, the density of the pigment is less and the appearance of the healed procedure naturally appears lighter. Also, these new skin cells cover the procedural area veiling the procedure and causing it to be less visible than when initially implanted.
