Permanent Cosmetics FAQ's
What can I expect?
Prior to the enhancement procedure you will receive a comprehensive consultation during which you will have the opportunity to discuss the results you wish to achieve and how permanent make-up can enhance your appearance.
As an expert in the field of colour analysis I will identify the micro-pigmentation shades that work with your hair, skin and eye colour. I will also analyze your facial features to determine the most complimentary look for your individual requirements.
Using conventional cosmetics I will also re-create your unique look visually so that you can approve the enhancement before the micro-pigmentation pigments are infused into your skin. This ensures the finished result is exactly what you want.
Does it hurt?
Before the permanent make-up process begins, a topical numbing agent will be applied to your skin to reduce the level of discomfort felt during the procedure.
How are the procedures done?
Hypo-allergenic pigment’s are infused into the dermal layer of the skin using state of the art computerized micro-pigmentation equipment that meets international health and safety requirements.
What side effects are there after the procedure?
Immediately after the infusion process your permanent make-up enhancement will display mild redness and swelling that lasts no longer than 24 hours. The enhancement will also appear a darker shade than the desired result for approximately 1 week. After your procedure, you will be given strict aftercare instructions.
What about follow-up sessions and enhancements?
The follow up session is generally 4-6 weeks later which allows me to refine your enhancement by paying particular attention to fine detail.
The enhancement will gradually fade over a number of years barely leaving a haze of colour in the skin. Most people opt to do a booster to their permanent make-up enhancements every 12 months in order to refresh their look, referring to their enhancement as ‘low maintenance make-up’. The booster procedure is charged at a low cost maintenance price.
What other procedures can be done?
Specialist medical tattoo techniques are also available for scar camouflage, correctional techniques and areola reconstruction/cleft palate reconstruction. I am worried about doing any permanent make-up enhancements as I’m afraid I will wake up one day and decide I do not want it anymore?
The pigmentation of permanent makeup may fade over time, particularly under the effects of sunlight or when using colors like light brown tones for eyebrows. It usually lasts for a 3-5 years or more before fading significantly. Touching up the enhancement may be required to restore the original colour as early as one year after the original procedure. Many procedures can last a lifetime with little to no intervention, but a lot of fading so adjusting the enhancement of eventual fading is not a problem.
Professional Makeup FAQ's
Where do you do the professional make up trials and how long does it take?
I conduct trials during the week - Mondays to Fridays at your home or office or alternatively on Saturdays by prior arrangement. It normally takes just under 90 minutes.
How far in advance do I need to book for my wedding make-up?
I am booked months in advance (especially on weekends), so please book me ASAP to avoid disappointment.
CRC Tattoo Remove FAQ's
Will I lose my eyebrows?
No. The phytic acid in CRC Tatoo Remover is an organic acid that is in our body and is not dangerous for us at all.
It is of plant origin, it has a very large molecule that does not interact with the proteins of the skin and does not act on them. And vice versa, with all the substances that make up the pigments for PM and tattoos, such as metals, carbon, etc., the phytic acid molecule enters into active interaction. This is a completely different type of acid, not aggressive.
Phytic acid is very gentle and can be used for all skin types. No burns, minus fabrics, etc. Moreover, after using CRC Tatoo Remover, the client's eyebrows begin to grow thicker (for some, hope for their eyebrows has long been lost)
How many procedures do you need to remove eyebrow tattoo?
The number of procedures directly depends on many factors: what pigment is in the skin, how long is it there, how many overlaps were there and what pigments?
From the somatic state of the client (starting from body temperature, blood Ph, electrolyte composition, concomitant diseases, etc.)
In addition, the client must follow all the instructions of the master, actively use home care.
Will there be crusts?
If the procedure was carried out by the master correctly, then there should be no crusts.
Do complications arise?
Before the procedure, the master must carefully collect an anamnesis, assess the external condition of the client. If the master follows all the methodological recommendations for working with the remover, there should be no complications.
Please abide by ALL instructions given.
