Lip treatments are perhaps the most under estimated of all the treatments. It’s a sad fact that as you get older the border of your lip becomes less defined and your natural lip colour lightens. A lip liner and blend not only gives you a subtle hint of colour into the lip but also re-defines the border of the lip, giving your lips a fuller shape.

If you suffer from cold sores we advise that you take a course of anti-viral prior to the treatment commencing.

Absolutely not. If you have natural brow hairs, we will work with what you have, subtly integrating our work to suit your natural brow style.

5What will I look like straight after the treatment?

Brow and eye treatments tend to look darker in colour immediately after the appointment, while lip colours can look more intense. This softens in a few days upto 40%. Lips are likely to have some residual swelling and can chap.

6How quickly will it heal?

Everyone is different, but as a general rule the surface skin generally heals between 3-7 days after the treatment, and 10-14 days below the surface. Many people will return to work the same day after a treatment, however, we don’t advise driving after an eyeliner / lash enhancement, in case your eyes are a little swollen or watery immediately after the treatment.

7How long will it take?

Treatment times vary depending on how advanced or detailed the required result is. Although some treatments may take as little as 1 hour, you should set aside 2-3 hours for your appointment.

8Can I wear make-up after the treatment?

You can wear mineral cosmetics immediately, however, you need to wait until the treatment area has healed before wearing traditional cosmetics. If applying traditional cosmetics elsewhere, ensure you don’t get any in the treatment area, as this could lead to healing problems.

Permanent cosmetics are typically used to enhance your natural features, therefore after your treatment has healed, you can wear makeup to complement and enhance your permanent cosmetics.

9How long will it last?

This varies from person to person because skin type, diet, genetics and environmental factors can all contribute to how long the pigments will be retained.

As a guide, it could be anything between one to five years before a new treatment is required, although refresher colour boosts are recommended for maintenance during this time. Once the colour starts to change you will know that you are ready for your refresher colour boost. It is important to remember that permanent make-up is a “low” - not a “no” - maintenance treatment.
