What does a permanent cosmetic procedure involve?
We will run through a thorough consultation prior to your initial treatment to check for any contraindications and to answer any questions you may have. Once we have completed your initial permanent cosmetic procedure you will be required to return 6-8 weeks later for your adjustment visit to top up faded colour and make any little improvements. Permanent cosmetics is a two step process and We don’t consider your procedure completed until after you have received an adjustment visit.
Does it hurt?
Boutique Beauty & Massage use high quality and effective topical numbing products to ensure our clients experience minimal discomfort and the treatment is as pain free as possible.
How long will the procedure take?
Most procedures will take between 2- 3 hours. We will advise you of the exact timing in the consultation process.
What happens after my treatment?
The colour of your treatment will initially look darker than you expect. This is completely normal and will usually last for about 5 to 7 days. In the 6-8 weeks after your procedure your permanent cosmetics will have settled down into a nice soft and muted colour. You may experience a little bit of tenderness around the area treated and minimal swelling which usually disappears within 24-48 hours. You will receive an aftercare pack to take home after your initial treatment which includes aftercare product and instructions.
What happens to the hair on eyebrows when I have tattooing?
We do not remove any eyebrow hair unless we are shaping the brows to enhance the eyebrow design or shape. We DO NOT wax or shave off the eyebrows before any eyebrow procedures.
Maintaining your Permanent makeup
It is recommended to have top up treatment every 18-24 months to freshen up the colour of your permanent cosmetics and to keep it looking at its best. Hairstroke and microstroking procedures are an exception and are recommended to have a freshen up appointment every 12-18 months.
All Boutique Beauty & Massage clients will receive 30% off the original treatment price for their top up appointment when they come back in within 12-24 months.
Booking recommendations
When booking your permanent cosmetic procedure please keep in mind that the area will look darker at first and the skin may be a little swollen or sensitive. Because everyones results vary we don’t recommend having your cosmetic tattooing procedure before any big events or holidays.
