We are super excited to be able to offer training in this amazing treatment, but what exactly is Semi-permanent makeup?!
Semi-permanent make-up, also known as Micropigmentation, is a form of temporary cosmetic tattooing which allows you to have long-lasting eyeliner and lip colour as well as being able to shape and contour your eyebrows. The procedure involves tiny particles of pigment being placed beneath the surface of the skin (In the dermal layer), much like a tattoo. This pigment will stay in the skin for a number of years, gradually breaking down and fading with time, although the longevity of the results will depend on your age and skin type.
Micropigmentation techniques have been refined in recent years and a wider selection of pigment colours have been developed so that technicians can create ultra-natural looks. Only a trained semi-permanent make-up artist can perform this treatment. Many technicians are also beauty therapists or nurses but you actually don’t need to have any formal training prior to training as we will cover everything you will need to know.
In addition to being commonly used for cosmetic enhancement to enhance the eyebrows, eyelids and lips, semi-permanent make-up may also be used to create an areola (the brown area around the nipple) after mastectomy or for scalp densification in cases of hair loss.
People that suffer from vitiligo or alopecia which are a chronic disorder that causes depigmentation in patches of skin can also benefit from semi-permanent makeup.
You can choose to train in just Eyebrows or Eyebrows, lips and Eyeliner and the methods we can train you in are Machine or Hand tool.
Anyone who wears make-up is a potential candidate for semi-permanent make-up especially the following:
- If they lack colour and shape to their lips and want to enhance them without having dermal fillers
- If they regularly pencil in their eyebrows or would like a better shape
- Fill in gaps where they have been over plucked
- If they want to enhance their eyes and want the effects of eyeliner without the running and under eye smudging
- If they want to open up their eyes and raise their eyebrows without the need for a brow lift
- If you are allergic to traditional cosmetics or if you
- Simply want to save time by not having to apply a full face of make-up every day
The technique is also used for medical applications such as:
- Areola (nipple) tattooing following mastectomy
- Eyebrow reconstruction for alopecia patients and those who have lost hair through burns, operations or accidents
- Densification of hair loss
- Cosmetic correction of cleft palate
- Correction of facial asymmetry
When we say Semi-permanent we mean that after the initial treatment, if left untreated again it would eventually fade away. However, it is recommended that clients boost their procedure annually to keep the cosmetic tattoo looking fresh.
