What are Permanent Eyebrows and / or Make-up?

Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattoo or micropigmentation, is a cosmetic technique which uses a device containing iron oxide to tattoo the skin to create the look of makeup.

The used technology along with an artistic skill provide several options of permanent make-up from microblading individual hair strokes, colour wash ombre or ‘brow mist’ creating extremely natural results and have developed techniques for the most hyper real hair strokes that mimic your own hair.

An ideal treatment procedure to achieve a more dramatic or natural defined looking brows.

Type of Eyebrows

Microblading

Microblading also known as micro-shading, micro-feathering or 3D brows is a form of semi-permanent tattooing using a technique with a manual hand tool with microneedles to create real hair strokes. Hairstrokes are created on the skin following the natural growth of hair which produces the most natural looking brows and is a great option for those with sparse hair or looking to create a more defined shape.

• Takes 2 – 3 Hours
• Two sessions 6 weeks apart
• Follows and mimics natural hair
• Minimal pain
• Suitable for normal to dry skin
• Not suitable for cover ups
• This procedure usually lasts 1 to 3 years in most cases.

Ombré Brows

Also known as Brow Mist or Powder Brows, where the technique involves tiny dots of pigment inserted into the skin to create a solid look to the brows that appear fuller and powdered, and with the tail of the brow being darker than the head. It is the most suitable choice if you want to appear like you are always wearing make-up. Unlike traditional tattooing, this procedure is only penetrating the epidermis of the skin thus making it less permanent.

• Takes 2 – 3 Hours
• Two sessions 6 weeks apart
• Make-up powder look
• Minimal pain
• Suitable for all skin types especially oily skin.
• Suitable for cover ups
• This procedure usually lasts 1 to 3 years in most cases.

Fluffy Brows

Also known as W-Brows, Breezy Brows or Nano-strokes where the technique involves a device using a single needle to provide a controlled movement as it dispenses pigment into the skin. A technique similar to the conventional tattoo machine without the intense pain or discomfort.

• Takes 2 – 3 Hours
• Two sessions 6 weeks apart
• Follows natural hairstrokes with added fluff
• Minimal pain
• Suitable for normal to dry skin
• May be suitable for cover-ups
• This procedure usually lasts 1 to 3 years in most cases.

Combination Brows

Also known as combo brows and combré brows where the combination of techniques is applied; natural in the front with manual microblading or machine hairstrokes and darker in the body and tail using the shading technique of the ombre to create the perfect individual style brows.

• Takes 2 – 3 Hours
• Two sessions 6 weeks apart
• Mimics natural hair strokes with a powder brow on the body and tail
• Minimal pain
• Suitable for all skin types
• Suitable for cover-ups and those with little hair
• This procedure usually lasts 1 to 3 years in most cases.

What will it involve? 

After a detailed consultation where you will be asked to fill out a form to establish if there are any reasons why you may not be suitable for permanent make-up, we will then patch test you for the treatment.

Patch tests involve a small scratch to the skin (usually behind the ear) and pigment and anesthetic creams will be applied. This will determine if you are likely to have any reactions to the treatment and must be carried out a minimum of 24 hours before your appointment. If you are unable to get to the clinic for your patch test, a home kit can be sent upon request.

At your appointment an anesthetic cream will be applied to the area. Your practitioner will then draw on your brows with pencil to determine the best shape for your new brows.

Communications between yourself and visually checking in a mirror will determine the most suited shape to suit you. Then the desired pigment colour is mixed. Upon agreement of the shape and colour the creation of your new brows will begin as the practitioner applies the pigment via the needling device. Anesthetic cream may be applied throughout the entire treatment.

Why have the procedure?

Permanent brows are a great way to define and frame the face instantly. Many women decide upon permanent brows due to their brows becoming thinner with age or over plucking.

Some people suffer hair loss caused by a medical condition or alopecia.

Permanent brows are a great investment for people who want to look their best all day, every day.

Permanent brows are ideal for those:

• With known sensitivity to make-up
• With no time to apply make-up daily
• To avoid make-up smudges
• To avoid touch ups during the day
• Who do a lot of sport, especially swimming
• To prevent regular eyebrow tint sessions
• To have beautiful brows permanently on holiday
• Looking for a specific shape and shade
• Looking to try a new trend in style
• Wanting to retain permanent shape and size
• Looking for long lasting beautiful brows.
• Save Time & Save Money

Does it hurt?

The treatment procedure is virtually painless. A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the skin prior to the treatment. Some mild discomfort may be experienced on the first needling pass over the brows, clients often describe this feeling to be similar to eyebrow threading.

Eyebrows continue to anesthetised throughout the treatment, managing any signs of
discomfort.

The needles used in the device are micro size and nothing to be afraid of; your practitioner will ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, her expertise has been known for her clients to even fall asleep during procedure.

How many treatments do I need?

You will require two treatments to complete the procedure and gain an accomplished look.

Your second treatment should be taken 6 weeks after your initial treatment.

How quickly will I see the results?

Results can be seen immediately post treatment, brows may appear slightly darker you
may experience swollen skin or inflamed new eyebrows until the healing is in process.

Usually, the colour will fade by around 60% before your second treatment. The completed desired results will be fully visible after your second treatment is complete.

How long will the results last?

Your permanent brows should last for around between 1 to 3 years before any top up treatments are needed.

Whilst you are healing over the next few weeks may feel like a rollercoaster of emotions, but if you follow the after care carefully and trust the treatment and healing process, you will wake-up with make-up…
