Q&A Permanent Makeup

What is Semi permanent Makeup (also known as Permanent Makeup, Permanent Cosmetics or Micropigmentation)
SPMU is a procedure where non toxic pigments are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin to create a long lasting, perfect and natural make up. This will enhance your eyes, lips or brows. It is also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing.

What are the benefits?
Perfect make up every day! Time saved for those who make up daily. No smudged or melting make up. For those with overplucked, faded or thin eyebrows. A long lasting alternative for those allergic to conventional cosmetics. For swimmers and athletes.
For the disabled or those who have problems with their sight, or those who suffer from conditions causing hair or pigment loss such as alopecia and vitiligo.

Is it safe?
DERMATICIANS Ltd has invested in the latest “state of the art” equipment and quality training with Finishing Touches, one of the leading micropigmentation companies in the UK. Professional development is continual with workshops and masterclasses attended in London and the UK. With many years experience in the worlds of both health (nursing) and beauty, we work under strict hygiene standards in clinics which are fully licensed.

What does the treatment involve?
To give you the best possible results we carry out a very detailed, consultation and patch test. We always give plenty of time to allow you to ask questions and discuss desired shape, colours and aftercare advice.

For the first few days after the initial procedure, the colour will look quite dark. This will fade to a more natural tone and subtle effect. A “top up” session is carried out 6 weeks later and final adjustments made.

When is the best time to have SPMU?
As the initial result will look darker in the first few days, we advise clients not to have the treatment immediately before going away or an important occasion such as a job interview. The treated area needs to be kept as dry as possible for at least 72 hours, so swimming is not recommended during that time.

Is it painful?
We always use the latest topical numbing creams. Comfort levels can vary from person to person and some clients do find it uncomfortable. However, this is soon forgotten when clients see the final result!

How long will it last?
With good aftercare, this lasts on average 2 – 5 years and in some cases, longer. Age and skin type can make a difference as can lifestyle. In order to keep the SPMU looking fresh, a colour boost is recommended after 1 year. This is a much shorter treatment and is charged at half the current price.
