Permanent Makeup (PMU) is sometimes referred to as semi-permanent makeup. It is the same thing! (I call it Permanent because once you tattoo pigment into the dermis it will stay there even if the colour eventually wears from the skin surface months or years later.)PMU is a form of cosmetic tattooing, most commonly used to enhance the look of the brows, eyes and lips without the need for makeup. Not only does it save you a heap of time each day not having to apply makeup which inevitably wears off and smudges but PMU can change your look either naturally or dramatically depending on your desired look.
BROWS
Eyebrows are probably the most important feature of your face as they have the biggest visual impact on your facial appearance, they are responsible for our expressions, warmth, depth and the way other people perceive us. With the correct shape and colour for your face, a good set of Brows can emphasize the eyes and change the shape of your face, helping to give the illusion of a longer / shorter / wider or thinner face and give a more youthful look. For over-plucked or sparse eyebrows, aging, thinning, wiry brows or no brows at all - Permanent Makeup will redefine your face and give you heaps of confidence without any maintenance!
Digital Machine Method
I use the specialist digital machine method of PMU. This machine is very advanced and can create different looks using a variety of sterile needles which implant pigment under the skin surface between 1.5 - 2mm deep. The most popular look is the natural hair stroke brow, these are perfectly shaped brows for your face shape and use fine strokes to mimic real hair- strokes. With the machine method different looks can be achieved as natural or dramatic as you wish. You would have a free consultation with me to discuss all your requirements before the procedure.
Initially your brows will be Once have healed and settled to their lasting colour you would be invited back for a re-touch approximately 6 weeks later. After your re-touch you can expect your brows to last from 12 months to 5 years before you would need a colour boost. The digital machine method generally lasts longer than any other type of PMU as it is perfectly implanting the pigments into the skin at the correct depth however the length of time it lasts before a colour boost would be required is unique to each client.
What Happens During Treatment?
PMU is usually a three-step process. Consultation, treatment followed by a re-touch.Firstly I conduct a full consultation with you and thoroughly discuss your treatment to identify what look you want to achieve. Before I begin the treatment I will numb your brow area. The discomfort is minimal. Many clients say the gentle hum of the machine is quite relaxing and only minimal scratching can be felt. While the numbing is taking effect we will select the right colour pigment for your skin tone and draw the desired brow over your current brow making sure they are symmetrical and sit perfectly on your face, once you are 100% happy with your new shape it is time to relax and let me get to work creating your perfect brow!
Is it Painful & Safe?
PMU is not like having a normal tattoo. It is far less painful and does not go as deep into the skin (dermis). Once numbing cream has been applied to the area you should feel very little pain, the sensation is like a little scratch. Throughout the procedure I will re-apply numbing cream to make you feel as relaxed as possible. For the first few hours afterwards you may feel and see some swelling but this will soon subside. The equipment and pigments that I use are all of the highest quality designed and manufactured by Karen Betts - the industry leader and she accepts nothing but the best!
EYES
Permanent Eye Make-up is a popular treatment for anyone wanting to define their eyes. It is also a great treatment for anyone who has sparse, thinning or very pale eyelashes because it gives the illusion of thicker lashes.You can have a classic pencil liner, a sultry eye or a liquid eye-liner with a flick. The looks that can be created with the eyes are numerous. You can also choose different colours which may compliment your eye colour if you prefer something different to the usual black.Eye PMU defines your eyes, gives the illusion of thicker lashes and stops the relentless daily efforts of having to pencil them yourself - you can wake up and go! Contrary to what you may think Eyes are not painful. Pigment is gently implanted using a precision slow speed setting specifically for the eyes.
LIPS
If you have lost natural pigmentation and / or definition in your lips then this could be the answer. Many people also choose this option instead of lip fillers.Using a variety of techniques Lip PMU can create subtle definition and fuller lips. You can opt for a natural colour or you may prefer to go for your favourite shade. Whatever your choice you can wake up each morning with ready to go lips. Throughout the treatment I will continue to re-apply numbing cream as lips can be more sensitive however you should only feel a little scratching. I advise all my clients not to make plans for the few days following Lip PMU as your lips are likely to be swollen as they heal.
