Q. Is the procedure a form of tattooing?
A. Permanent cosmetics, also known as semi-permanent make-up,
micro-pigmentation is a form of advanced tattooing. The pigment is not
infused as deeply into the skin as tattooing, therefore, the enhancement
does not have the permanency of a conventional tattoo.

Q. What happens before the procedure?
A. Before the procedure can commence a consultation is essential. The client will
be required to complete all the necessary forms, which need to be read and
understood by the client and signed authorising commencement of the procedure.
If authorisation from your G.P. is required before your permanent cosmetic
procedure, a letter will be sent to your G.P. and the procedure will only take
place once authorisation is received. A sensitivity/allergy test will also be
performed. A very small amount of pigment is placed behind the client’s ear
and the topical anaesthetic on the other ear. If after three days there is no sign
of an allergic reaction to either tests, the procedure can commence. The client
will have information regarding the procedures to take with them before the initial
procedure.

Each permanent cosmetic procedure will need to have a colour boost every 12-14 months
to refresh the enhancement. It can last for years but will fade in time, especially when
exposed to sunlight and U.V. light.
