Why is it I don’t offer colour boosts prices for brows not done by me?

By

This can be a touchy subject, I totally get why, you had your brows done elsewhere but for some reason you want to come to me for a colour boost, why should you pay full price when you already have brows?

I can only guarantee work that was done by my own hands, on skin with no previous pigment, that is my design, pattern of strokes, my pigments, I know how they fade and therefore I know that a colour boost treatment will be enough to get that brow back to it’s original condition. Colour boost treatments are therefore only available to clients that had their brows originally done by myself.

Any existing pigment on your brows is classed as a cover up, which in fact, if you ask anyone in the industry, is a lot bloody harder to do than creating a brow from scratch… you do the maths…

If you already have pigment on your skin, the stroke pattern may be different from mine, you may have major fading in some areas and not so much on others, your strokes may have blurred into one solid colour, your shape may need adjusting, or they may have just faded too much. The ONLY way I can guarantee good results is with a full treatment, which includes a top up procedure four to six weeks after the original treatment for any tweaking to be done. But this option is really only possible on brows that have faded quite a bit and are almost non existent.

Now I have to mention the brows that I wouldn’t touch, if your brows are solid quite saturated in colour there may be nothing I can do to help, you may need removal sessions to lighten your existing pigment before I can do my magic.

There are a number of reasons you may not want to go back to the person that did them in the first place and most times it is because you’re not 100% happy with them and they need changes made to them. I am more than happy to help and am honoured you consider having them done with me, but please understand I am limited to what I can do depending on the amount of pigment you already have in your skin and that you may not be able to have strokes, in this case, shading works a treat!

What is the difference between the brands of lip filler I offer?

By

When I started offering aesthetic treatments, all I knew was the brand I was trained on, which doesn’t really matter but I’ll just say it wasn’t good enough for a great result. So before I started offering treatments at my clinic, I researched the marked, tried a few different brands taking into consideration their quality and client’s affordability.
I narrowed it down to 3 different brands, tried, tested and loved by myself and clients.

So I will start with: REVOLAX

Revolax is a relatively new brand of dermal filler. It’s cross linked HA (hyaluronic acid) with a durable and consistent structure. Due to it’s low phase angle, it has very little risk of product migrating away from the injection site.
There are 3 forms of Revolax, depending on the area to be treated, these are Revolax fine, deep and sub-q.
It can last up to 18 months, it contains lidocaine (numbing agent) and it holds full European Medical CE accreditation.
This is a great option for my budget conscious clients.

The second product I offer is: RESTYLANE

Again, a relatively new product, previously known as Emervel Lips, Restylane Kysse is also a cross linked HA and contains vital ingredients that work around your lips to plump them and regenerate the loss of volume.
The overall results can last up to 9 months, in some cases 12 months. It also contains lidocaine (numbing agent) making the procedure a lot more comfortable.
In my own opinion this is the most natural looking result you’ll get, it looks soft and subtle.

And the last product I offer: JUVEDERM

This brand is known, boy it’s known… It has lead the market for many years and it’s products cost more. There are a few fillers that can be used on lips, Volbella (lasts for up to 18 months) and Ultra 2 and 3 (lasts up to 12 months).
It’s no different from the others, it’s cross linked HA, has lidocaine and gives a good volume still keeping a natural result.
Volbella being a good option as it lasts longer.

My conclusion is, there is very little difference between these products, Restylane gives you a very natural finish, Juvederm and Restylane gives you longer lasting results. Truth is, while there are lip fillers that are supposed to last up to 18 months, the longevity of the results really depend on your body, results vary massively from client to client because hyaluronic acid is a natural occurring substance in the body and the body works to break it down until no dermal filler is left.

I hope you found this helpful. If you have any questions please email me!

Microblading or Nouveau Device?

By

I first trained in semi permanent make up 3 years ago, back then, microblading wasn’t so popular. I then, trained in microblading with Rebecca Chung in February 2016. To this day, my preferred way of creating brows is using a machine, for me, it’s the method I find creates the finest hairsrokes.

Microblading has boomed in the last couple of years and it’s the word people now use for eyebrow tattooing, this confuses quite a lot of people, so I’ve decided to put these three methods together and compare them for you.

I will start with tattooing…

Tattooing is done by inserting ink, dyes and pigments, into the dermis layer of the skin using a manual or electric device to create artistic designs. The designs last forever as the body cells and parts of the skin, such as fibroblasts, suck up the tattoo ink. Traditional tattoos placed on the face can fade dramatically in a very short time, instead of fading out naturally, they can turn blue/green and generally looking terrible quite quickly. There are people out there claiming to do semi permanent make up brows and what clients are getting is a real tattoo, please do your research!

Then we have semi permanent make up (spmu)…

Semi permanent make up is a form of tattooing, the similarity between spmu and tattooing is the process, which involves applying pigment into the skin with needles, the skin then heals, leaving the pigment residue where you placed it. The cosmetic pigment used is specifically made for the face. But it is most definitely not the same as a tattoo. Spmu is intended to be natural looking enhancements, whereas tattoos are designed to look very visible on the skin. The machine used is not as powerful as the traditional tattooing devices and the pigment is placed on the upper layers of the skin, that allows the pigment to fade over time, and is the reason why spmu doesn’t last forever. A spmu treatment done by me will last up to 2 years and a colour boost every 12-18 months is recommended to refresh the colour and shape of brows.

And finally, microblading…

Microblading consists in implanting pigment into the skin with the use of a manual tool (like a pen) and a blade formed by 9-18 super fine needles. It uses the same pigments that artists have been using for semi permanent make up treatments since the 80’s, the one I use is LI Pigments, they heal beautifully soft and don’t change colour as the brow fades over the years. Microblading lasts up to 2 years and a yearly colour boost is recommended.

Like I said at the beginning of this article, my favorite way of creating brows is by using a machine and a 1 point liner needle, 95% of my work you see on my social media is done by machine, I can microblade if you are very specific about it but the machine method is the technique I have mastered, love and guarantee great results with when it comes to hairstrokes.

I hope this clarifies the different methods of semi permanent make up available out there. Do your research before booking a treatment, you want to look for high hygiene standards, insured professionals, loads of updated before and after pictures.

FAQ’s

By

I’ve put together a few frequently asked questions about the semi permanent makeup procedure, I hope this helps but should you have any more question contact me!

What is Semi Permanent Makeup?

Semi permanent makeup, also referred as micropigmentation, microblading, nano brows etc… is a form of tattooing where pharmaceutical grade pigments are implanted into the upper layers of the skin with the aid of needles. There is variety of different techniques to create effects that will suit your desired design of brows, eyeliner or lips.

How long does it last?

Semi permanent makeup should last up to 2 years depending on sun exposure, lifestyle, genetic, etc. It will gradually fade over time and a color boost treatment is recommended between 12-18 months to keep your brows, eyeliner or lips looking fresh.

Is it painful?

A lot of people would compare the pain as to the pain of threading. I find that most clients feel very little pain during treatments.

Do I need a consultation?

If you are 100% sure you want the treatment a pre consultation is not required as the full consultation will be carried out on the treatment day.

What happens on the day of the treatment?

I will carry out a full consultation and go through all the forms. I will pick a few colors for you to choose from and help you make a decision, I then create a template using pencils and once I get the approval from you, I start the procedure of implanting the pigments into the skin. Procedures usually take around and hour and a half or two and a retouch appointment will be made for 4-6 weeks after.

Can I have Permanent Make Up if I have a medical condition?

I all depends on what the condition is, don’t let it stop you from having a consultation, I will ask for a medical referral if necessary.

How long until the skin is healed?

Redness and swelling can be normal and these symptoms usually disappear within 24-48 hours. Total recovery time is 4-6 weeks and you should expect scabbing of the treated area and the color fading up to 40% so that it reaches the color originally chosen.

Is there anything I need to do previous to the treatment?

Yes, I will send out a pack containing a patch test to be carried out by you at home, this should be done at least 24 hours before the treatment to ensure you are not allergic to any of the products used during the treatment.

How do I book?
