SEMI-PERMANENT

Makeup

TREATMENT

The Aesthetics Parlour

 

Semi-Permanent Makeup (SPMU) is a specialised cosmetic tattooing procedure designed to enhance facial features by implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional tattoos, SPMU pigments are formulated to fade gradually over time, allowing results to remain natural and adaptable to facial changes, skin ageing, and personal style.

SPMU is ideal for individuals seeking long-lasting definition, improved symmetry, and reduced reliance on daily makeup, while still maintaining a soft, refined appearance.

All treatments are carried out using medical-grade pigments, sterile single-use consumables, and advanced digital devices to ensure accuracy, safety, and optimal pigment retention.

Our Semi-Permanent Makeup Treatments

 

Semi-Permanent Eyeliner

The Semi-Permanent Makeup Process

Consultation & Assessment

  • Detailed skin and facial analysis

  • Medical history and suitability screening

  • Pigment selection based on undertone and lifestyle

  • Shape mapping and client approval

Treatment Session

  • Topical numbing where appropriate

  • Precision pigment implantation using advanced digital devices

  • Gradual layering to achieve natural saturation

Healing & Results

  • Initial healing period: 7–14 days

  • Pigment appears darker initially, then softens

  • Final colour settles after skin regeneration

Top-Up Appointments & Pigment Retention (Essential)

A top-up appointment is a critical part of the SPMU process and is required for all treatments.

Why a top-up is necessary

  • The skin naturally expels some pigment during healing

  • Colour stabilisation occurs after the first session

  • Ensures even tone, longevity, and optimal results

Timing

  • Top-ups are required 4–6 weeks after the initial treatment

Without a top-up, long-term pigment retention cannot be guaranteed.

How Long Does Semi-Permanent Makeup Last?

Longevity varies depending on:

  • Skin type

  • Aftercare compliance

  • Lifestyle (sun exposure, skincare, smoking)

  • Immune response

Most clients require a maintenance refresh every 12–36 months.

Why Choose Semi-Permanent Makeup?

  • Saves time and effort daily

  • Enhances natural features without overdone results

  • Customised for your face, skin, and lifestyle

  • Long-lasting yet adaptable over time
