Permanent makeup (PMU) or micropigmentation is the revolutionary method of depositing hypoallergenic mineral pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. With an ultra-thin needle and pigment, the shape of the eyebrows, eyes or lips is enhanced.

This treatment is also known as permanent makeup or cosmetic tattooing. However, the pigments used for permanent makeup are introduced less deeply into the skin layer and have a different composition from tattoo inks. Micropigmentation devices are also more refined than tattoo machines, and the techniques that are used are different.

Microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattooing that involves using tiny, fine-point needles, that make up a small disposable blade and handle. That helps scratch and deposit pigment simultaneously under your skin.

In microblading we are using a state-of-the-art hand tool that lets us creates thinner, more precise, hairlike strokes that aren’t as deeply ingrained into the skin.

The pigment differs from that of a tattoo as well, because :

• it’s only semi-permanent because your body eventually ends up metabolizing it
• the dye particles are less concentrated that a tattoo’s ink

It doesn’t hurt as such, it is more a sensation. The process itself is not painful thanks to the numbing ointment that is applied.

Microblading usually lasts around one to three years, but you should be coming back in four weeks for a touch-up/check-in, to make sure you were happy with the end result. After that, you wouldn’t need a touch-up for 12 months. These appointments also cost less than the initial price of microblading.

All prices can be found on my booking page. Please keep in mind that brow products aren’t cheap and your time is precious, and this, my friend, will save you a lot of time, since you won’t have to do your eyebrows anymore 🙂

Yes – the pigment used leaves no scarring or discolouration, and I can use a salt/saline solution to remove microbladed brows.

It is very important to know and understand that brows will be up to 40% darker in shade for the first 7-10 days during the healing process where scabs can form and flake off.

Clients can sometimes leave the studio, and two days later be terrified that their brows are too dark, but please be patient – as this is totally normal! After 7-10 days, you will begin to see the final colouring.

1. Do not pick, tweeze, wax or have electrolysis one week prior.

2. Do not use sunbeds or sit in direct sunlight two weeks before.

3. Do not have any type of facial or peel two weeks prior.

4. Stop using any retinol or Vitamin A products one month prior.

5. No exercising on the day.

6. Do not have botox three weeks before.

7. Do not take fish oil or Vitamin E one week prior (these are natural blood thinners).

8. Do not wax or tint your eyebrows three days prior.

1. Do not drink alcohol 24-48 hours prior to your appointment.

2. Do not drink coffee 2 hours prior.

3. Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen 24 hours prior.

1. Gently wash your eyebrows every morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap such as Cetaphil. Ensure all soap is rinsed away and dry by gently patting with a tissue. This will not remove the pigment.

DO NOT use any cleansers containing acids or exfoliants.

2. Apply a very small amount of coconut or rosehip oil to each brow morning and night.
