Semi Permanent Make Up

Semi Permanent Make-Up

Dermacia Beauty Salon's Semi Permanent makeup is a type of cosmetic tattooing using pigments to colour the skin, and enhance your natural features, with one of London's most renowned cosmetic tattooing artists, Camilla Moutaadi. 

The make-up can be used to frame the face and give definition to your brows, on the lips to add a pop of colour, or around the eyes to make them stand out and replace eyeliner.

We offer a solution for those that desire more prominent eyebrows, fuller lips and or defined eyes. Whether they are busy professionals in the sports industry, beauty industry, entertainers, actors, or are just busy mums. Either way, Semi-Permanent Make-Up from our popular Islington salon provides freedom from the daily application of conventional make-up, which is extremely liberating whatever your profession. Relax in knowing that with Dermacia semi-permanent makeup, mascara and eye liner that run are a thing of the past.

How Does it Work

Semi Permanent Make-up (SPMU), sometimes referred to as Permanent Make-up or Micro-pigmentation is a type of cosmetic tattooing in which hypo-allergenic organic pigments are implanted just below the top layer of skin, the Epidermis. 

This creates a shadow of colour which mimics the most exquisitely applied make-up. This is where it stays, gradually fading over time. Using specialist equipment to skillfully implant the colour pigments into the dermal layers of the skin this non surgical, long lasting, beauty treatment can really enhance your facial features, appearance and confidence.

How Long Does it Last For?

Semi-Permanent Make-Up should last anywhere between 18 months to 5 years depending on certain factors such as; age, health, medication, skin type and sun exposure. However, it is perfectly normal that over time colour will break down and fade which is why it is suggested to have a top up procedure within 3 months form the initial treatment, and then every 6 months to keep the look fresh.

Does Semi-Permanent Make-Up Hurt?

No, the most that is felt is the vibration of the needle. Topical anaesthetic is applied followed by a secondary anaesthetic during treatment. This usually results in clients feeling perfectly comfortable and relaxed during the procedure.

Is Semi-Permanent Make-Up Safe?

Yes, the strictest hygiene and sterilisation standards are adhered to. The machine used has a 2a medical certification and the treatment environment is set up to an A-septic standard. Only pre-packed brand new sterile cartridges are used for each client. For those that request a patch test, this is offered 24 hours prior to the first procedure. However, 99.9% of people do not have any reaction at all. 

How will I look Immediately After Treatment?

Many people are able to carry on with their duties as normal whether it's going back to work or going out to meet friends for lunch. However, it is to be expected that after the brow procedure they will appear quite dark and intense with colour. For the eyeliner treatment, the eyes will appear slightly more swollen and for the lip treatment, they will not appear swollen, just bright in colour like lipstick.

Overall, the intensity of colour for all areas will last approximately 3-7 days. Within this time natural exfoliation occurs causing the pigment to fade by 40 - 60% and a lighter more natural colour will emerge over 4 - 6 weeks, by which time the top-up is due.
