Permanent Makeup
             FAQs

How soon can I wear makeup after my treatment?

It’s best to avoid applying makeup directly on the treated area until it has fully healed (around 7–14 days). This reduces the risk of infection and ensures the pigment heals evenly.

Can permanent makeup be removed or corrected?

Yes. In some cases, we can colour-correct previous work. If not, we offer salt & saline removal to safely fade unwanted pigment. A consultation will determine the best option for you.

Who is not suitable for permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup may not be suitable if you are:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Under 18

  • Taking blood-thinning medication

  • Prone to keloid scarring

  • Undergoing chemotherapy (unless with medical approval)

A consultation and medical history form will confirm suitability.

Can I have permanent makeup if I already have old PMU?

Yes, but we’ll need to assess your brows, lips, or eyeliner first. Sometimes a correction or removal is needed before we can refresh or reapply new pigment.

Will my brows/lips look very dark at first?

Yes, the colour often looks darker in the first week. Don’t worry — this is normal. The pigment will fade and soften during healing, leaving a more natural result.

Do I need a top-up?

 A top-up session 4–6 weeks after your first treatment may be needed to perfect your results. This ensures the colour and shape are exactly as you want them this is £70

How do I prepare for my appointment?

  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medication for 24 hours before.

  • Do not use retinol, acids, or strong skin treatments near the area.

  • Arrive with clean skin, free of heavy makeup.

Can I exercise after my treatment?

Avoid heavy exercise, swimming, and saunas for 7–10 days after treatment. Excessive sweating can affect pigment retention during healing.

Will permanent makeup fade completely over time?

For most clients, the pigment fades gradually. Some traces may remain. Regular top-ups keep your results fresh, while removal treatments are available if you decide not to continue.

Can men have permanent makeup?

Yes. Many men choose treatments such as brow definition, lash line enhancement, and scalp micropigmentation for a natural boost in confidence.
