Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the makeup last?

Although pigment molecules stay in the skin indefinitely, the colour remains visible for 1-2 years. This varies depending on your age, skin type, colour choice and lifestyle. As with traditional tattooing, you are choosing to make a commitment to a semi permanent make up procedure. For optimum results you should expect to attend a colour boost session every 18 months.

Is the procedure painful?

Everyone is different but with advanced new equipment and techniques, discomfort is minimal.

Do I have a choice on placement and colour?

Definitely! You are consulted every step of the way from desired shape to colour selection.

How long will it take?

You should allow a minimum of 11/2 hours for a new procedure.

What happens after the procedure?

Immediately post procedure the area treated may appear swollen and the colour will appear darker and more intense. This will last for several days. Complete healing can take up to six weeks for the pigment to mature in the skin and the true colour to emerge.

Is there any reason why I can't have the procedure?

A full medical history will be taken, but you will not be able to have the treatment if you are: pregnant, breast feeding, taking acne medication, under 18, suffering from cold sores or have false eyelashes.
