Colour retention will be different to each individual. There are many factors that can influence this, including lifestyle, sun exposure and skin type. For some it will last longer than others.
Permanent Makeup is not supposed to last forever but the colour can be refreshed every year or as often as you will need it. The average lifespan is between 10-18 months, when the colour starts losing intensity. Any skin treatments and products that lead to skin exfoliation will shorten its lifespan.
External factors:
Sun exposure without SPF lotion, constant rubbing of the area,
microdermoabrasion, chemical peels and light therapy are a few of the factors that lead to faster pigment fading.
Medical factors:
Hormonal imbalance caused by endocrine conditions and hormonal therapy, extended antibiotic treatments, scarred tissue, skin problems/conditions (e.g. acne, eczema/dermatitis), constant sweating (Menopause), other long term medication with skin side-effects.
Other:
Skin Type: oily skin needs a colour boost much sooner than others (every 6-12 months).
Age group: the more mature the skin the longer it can last due to a much slower skin regeneration process.
Aftercare: following the procedure is significantly important and will make a huge difference to the duration and the healed result.
Lifestyle: intense sweating (fitness trainers), sun beds, working in steamy environments.
Shape is bespoke to your bone structure and following precise measurements to achieve symmetry.
Your face shape and tones will be analysed and shape drawn using cosmetic makeup pencils. We take our time to map the eyebrows and make any amendments you desire after. Only when you are 100% happy with the brow shape, do we start.
If you have a very asymmetrical facial expression, we can balance that with a bespoke shape.
What is Permanent Make-Up?

upper layers of the skin. The procedure is completely safe and available for women of all ages and
