Permanent Make-Up - what are the benefits?

New Confidence Permanent Make-up on female scalp

Medical Reasons:

Medical issues can cause hair loss, for example: alopecia, auto-immune system disorders, and cancer can cause hair loss.

The use of some medication to treat diseases and disorders can also result in hair loss, along with thyroid disfunction, hormone imbalances and nutritional deficiencies.

Lips may have scars on them from cold sores, or previous injuries which can cause a change in shape, redefining the borders and providing a more consistent colour throughout the lips can boost confidence.

Over plucking of Eyebrows:

Repeated over plucking of eyebrows over several years can permanently damage the hair follicles which leads to thin hairs and sparse brows.

Improve symmetry, colour consistency and density or cover scars

Natural Ageing:

As we go through the natural ageing process, our hair loses volume both in our brow area and across our scalp. Brows may dry out and become coarse and a bit wild. Our scalp hair may become significantly thinner, we may suffer from baldness.

We also tend to lose volume and colour in our lip tissue and wrinkles appear around the borders. Using PMU to gradually build up layers of colour throughout the lip tissue, we gently enhance the lips which makes the client look years younger.

Time Saving:

We all have very busy lives and schedules, so we don’t have time to spare to sit and carefully draw in our eyebrows every day, and apply our lipstick to perfection. And some of us just don’t know where to start. With PMU we can create a beautifully natural looking brow or lip that saves you time in your daily routine.

Self Confidence:

Some people will feel very self-conscious about their brows, hairline, bald patch or lips, that they avoid any activities that may either smudge their make-up or accentuate the area that they are trying to hide. Activities such as swimming and relaxing and enjoying holidays and family time can be daunting and fill them with stress and anxiety. The micro-pigmentation treatments that we offer really can give you a confidence boost, and just make you feel brand new!

Treatment Process

Your micropigmentation will not be completed in just 1 appointment.

Eyebrows and Lips will require 2 appointments which take place ideally 5 – 10 weeks apart.

Scalp work will usually take 3 appointments over the course of approximately 4 - 6 weeks to achieve the desired density and where relevant to blend with your natural hair.

Multiple appointments provide an opportunity for Kerry to assess how your skin has healed, and to ensure that the best possible result is achieved.

Every treatment is tailored to each client personally, considering skin type & complexion tone, hair colour & density, face shape, desired results.

We take time to map the best shape for you, to enhance your natural features, and work with you to perfect that shape until you are 100% happy. There is no “one size fits all” template.

We work with each client to create a bespoke blended pigment for you, there is no single brow, lip or scalp colour that will suit everyone.

Our ethos is to create a natural look which enhances your natural features.

The way in which you approach your pre-treatment advice and aftercare is as important to achieving optimal results, as to how the actual treatment is carried out.

We ask that you follow the advice given and put your trust in the process – it’s been tested, and we know it works!

Micropigmentation requires a colour boost ideally every 18 – 24 months to keep it looking fresh.

Micropigmentation is intended to fade which is helpful as trends change over time. So, if you want to change up your look when it comes to colour boost you can.

Pigments used in Micropigmentation are not the same as traditional Tattoo pigments, they are specially formulated to blend with natural hair colours and skin tones.

To ensure that you are comfortable throughout your treatment, and to achieve the best possible results from your micropigmentation we use only the highest quality equipment and products that the industry has to offer.

Be patient and trust the process - Healed results are always 30-50% lighter than immediately after a treatment

Myth busters and FAQ's

I’ve heard it really hurts…

We promise, it doesn’t. We only use top quality equipment and products, which are specially selected to ensure your comfort during your appointments. We’ve actually had people fall asleep whilst having their PMU Eyebrow treatments.

You may feel a mild scratching at times, but it doesn’t hurt.

Our aim is that you are comfortable throughout your treatment and are happy when you leave.

PMU Eyebrows are always dark, are blocky and look unnatural…

Some of the early Permanent Make-up from 12+ years ago, may have been a bit like that. However, the techniques, equipment, and pigments have come on tremendously since then, and education and training have advanced hugely. PMU today is very different from what it used to be, and what we can achieve has evolved.

We spend time understanding what you are looking for, and working with you to achieve that.

We work with you to choose a colour that suits your natural skin tone and hair colour, to achieve a natural look.

We work with you to map out a brow shape that suits your face shape and meets what you are looking for. Nothing happens until you are happy with that shape.

We always approach the process with a less is more attitude. We can always add more at the second session but can’t take it away. We’ll always work conservatively and cautiously to build up to your desired look.

I want my Lip Blush to be the same colour as my Lipstick is that possible?

How do the SMP treatment sessions work? Will I go away from the first session with only part of my treatment area completed?

No, at each session the whole of the treatment area will be treated. We start with implanting the dots of pigment further apart at the first session. During the follow-up session we add additional dots in between the original dots, and gradually build up the density, and blend into the natural hair. We may use different size needles and different pigment shade blends in the follow up sessions to create the most natural look for you.

Can my skincare products affect the treatment?

Yes, Check your facial skincare products for the following listed ingredients: AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acids), Vitamins A, B, C, Retinol, also Micellar Water. You must not use these product for 4 weeks before your first treatment and during during your healing time. These active ingredients increase exfoliation or skin cell regeneration. Continuing to use them up until your appointments may make the process more uncomfortable for you as they can make it more difficult to implant the pigment into the skin, they can also the pigment to not hold in patches or in some cases at all. After your treatments, it’s best to avoid putting these products over your brows/lips to ensure that your micro-pigmentation lasts as long as possible in the best possible condition.
