Semi permanent makeup
What is semi-permanent makeup (SPMU)?
SPMU is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances facial features by implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin. It’s commonly used for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips to create a natural, long-lasting enhancement without daily makeup application.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Results typically last 12 to 24 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Fading is natural over time, and colour boosts are recommended every 12–18 months to maintain the look.
Is permanent makeup painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to minimise sensitivity and keep you comfortable.
What should I avoid before my appointment?
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or ibuprofen) for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Also, avoid tanning, active skincare (like retinol), and cosmetic procedures in the treatment area for a few days beforehand.
What does the healing process look like?
Initial healing takes about 7–10 days, during which the area may flake or scab slightly. Colour can appear darker at first and will soften as it heals. Full healing and colour settling typically occur over 4–6 weeks.
Will I need a touch-up session?
Yes — a touch-up is usually required 4–8 weeks after the initial procedure. This perfects the shape and colour and ensures long-lasting results.
Can permanent makeup be removed or corrected?
Yes, correction is possible if you’ve had work done elsewhere or if the pigment fades unevenly. Removal options like saline removal or laser may be discussed for unwanted results, though not all cases require removal.
Is it safe for all skin types?
SPMU is generally safe for most skin types, but very oily or sensitive skin may affect retention or healing. A full consultation is done beforehand to assess suitability and customise the approach.
How natural will the results look?
Very natural. Techniques and pigments are chosen based on your skin tone, face shape, and preferences. The goal is to enhance, not overpower — so you still look like yourself, just more polished.
What’s the difference between microblading and machine method?
Microblading uses a handheld tool to create fine, hair-like strokes and is best for dry or normal skin. The machine method (also called digital SPMU) uses a device to implant pigment more gently and is better suited for all skin types, especially sensitive or oily skin. It also allows for more versatility in styles and shading.
Injectables
What’s the difference between dermal fillers and Botox?
Dermal fillers restore volume, contour, and smooth out deeper lines by using hyaluronic acid-based gels. Botox (Botulinum Toxin) relaxes targeted muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles like frown lines and crow’s feet. In short: fillers add volume, Botox reduces movement.
How long do fillers and anti-wrinkle injections last?
Dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the area and product used. Anti-wrinkle injections usually last 3 to 4 months, though results may last longer with regular treatments.
Will I look frozen or overdone?
No — when done correctly, results should look natural and refreshed, not stiff or exaggerated. I focus on subtle enhancements tailored to your facial structure and expression.
Are injectables safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained and qualified professional. I use high-quality, CE-marked products, and all treatments are carried out following strict safety and hygiene protocols.
What areas can be treated with fillers?
Fillers are commonly used to treat the lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and under-eye hollows. Each treatment is tailored to your needs.
Is there downtime after the treatment?
Downtime is usually minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically fades within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities straight away.
When will I see results?
Fillers show immediate results, though final results appear once swelling settles (usually a few days). Anti-wrinkle injections take 3 to 10 days to take full effect.
How often do I need maintenance treatments?
Anti-wrinkle treatments are usually maintained every 3–4 months. Fillers vary by area but typically need refreshing every 6–12 months. A personalised plan can help maintain your results naturally.
What should I do before and after my appointment?
Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medication (unless prescribed), and intense exercise 24 hours before and after treatment. Aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure the best results and minimise any side effects.
Can I combine fillers and Botox in one session?
Yes, many clients choose to combine them for a more balanced, full-face result. This is often called a “non-surgical facelift”. We’ll discuss your goals during consultation to create the best treatment plan for you.
Skin Rejuvenation
What is PRP therapy and how does it work?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses the healing components in your own blood to stimulate collagen, boost skin regeneration, and improve tone and texture. A small amount of blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma, and then re-injected into targeted areas.
What is mesotherapy used for?
Mesotherapy delivers a customised blend of vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid directly into the skin to hydrate, brighten, and revitalise. It’s commonly used for dull skin, fine lines, or early signs of ageing.
How many sessions will I need?
Results are best seen after a course of treatments — typically 3 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. The number may vary depending on your skin concerns and goals.
Is there downtime after PRP or mesotherapy?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience some redness, swelling, or small pinprick marks for 24–48 hours. These typically settle quickly, and many clients return to daily activities the same or next day.
Is PRP safe and natural?
Yes — PRP is 100% natural since it uses your own blood. There’s no risk of allergic reaction, and the body recognises the plasma as its own, making it very safe and well-tolerated.
Does the treatment hurt?
Discomfort is mild and brief. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimise sensitivity during injections. Most clients find the treatment very tolerable.
Can skin rejuvenation help with acne scars or pigmentation?
Yes. Both PRP and mesotherapy can improve acne scars, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone by stimulating collagen and encouraging skin regeneration. Results are gradual and improve with multiple sessions.
When will I see visible results?
Most clients notice improvements within 2–4 weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen builds. For best results, a full course is recommended.
Can I combine skin rejuvenation with other treatments?
Yes — PRP and mesotherapy pair well with treatments like microneedling, fillers, or Botox. We’ll discuss the best combinations during your consultation, based on your skin and goals.
Who is a good candidate for PRP or mesotherapy?
These treatments are suitable for most skin types and are ideal for anyone noticing dullness, early ageing, fine lines, or tired-looking skin. A consultation will help determine what’s right for you.
