Most people over the age of 18 years from the young to the elderly who desire a soft, natural enhancement to their appearance. During a consultation, we will discuss with you specifically which treatments will suit you best taking into account your expectations, and any of your features that may require enhancing.

Does it hurt?

There’s nothing to worry. Prior to the procedure, we will apply a simple numbing cream so you do not feel any discomfort. Some clients have likened the sensation to having their eyebrows tweezed.

What features can you improve?

We can give you beautiful eyebrows and lashes and perfect lips, which glow with health. Under our medical procedures we can help people who have suffered hair loss with alopecia or chemotherapy or have had breast surgery.

What will I look like after my treatment?

Although some people may have a little swelling or redness this will soon disappear. For the first few days after your treatment, your makeup will look a little darker but the colours will soon lighten to achieve your desired look and a retouch will be scheduled between four and six weeks to achieve a perfect result.

How long does it last for?

You should consider it to be permanent although the pigment will gradually fade over time. We advise you to plan to come in every 18 months or so for a colour boost, so that the permanent make-up looks complete and fresh. Permanent Make-up can last for many years but this is dependent on several factors including skin type, sun exposure and lifestyle.
