What happens during a Semi-permanent Lip treatment?
Your treatment will begin with a consultation in our clinic discussing the shape and the colour of your preference to ensure a first class result! Like all of our procedures, everything is discussed and pencilled in prior to starting to ensure that you have total control with the style, colour and shape of your lip enhancement. You have the option of whether you want a natural or dramatic result and pigments are custom blended to meet your requests. You are in complete control of your treatment. Once the process has been explained and you have agreed to the design, you will be required to fill in consent form and medical questionnaire and we take a copy of your ID as per current legislation. Our numbing process is as good as it gets and we only use top of the line topical anaesthetics to maximise your comfort. The permanent makeup process starts once the treated area is numb. Once your new permanent lip treatment is complete you will be given written information on aftercare and the healing process.
How long does a procedure take?
Including the consultation, paperwork, and numbing time, the average length of time for one procedure is approximately 1.5- 2.5 hours. The second application is usually l hour or less.
I have great difficulty applying makeup. How will the permanent lip tint look?
Truthfully, it will look sensational. You have a choice of 3 treatments. Natural lip contour – subtly re-define the contour of your lips and even correct slight imperfections. Natural contour with partial lip tint effect – discreet contouring that defines your lips, with blush shading distributed partially through the lip to give the illusion of volume and a colour that’s in harmony with your natural colouring. Natural lip contour and full lip tint -saturates the lips with colour in a natural or intense shade. Subtly defines your lip contour and infuses colour completely throughout your lips
Does it hurt?
Very little discomfort is experienced during the procedure. The anaesthesia used is of a superior grade and is extremely effective. This can be applied as many times as it is needed to achieve painless results.
How many applications are needed?
Semi-permanent makeup is a 2-3 step process with most clients requiring 2 sessions for optimal results. However, many of her clients are fully satisfied with just one application. If a second application is needed, it is scheduled 4-8 weeks after the initial procedure.
How much do permanent lip treatments cost?
Permanent lip procedures generally range from £99-£299 depending on thickness and complexity. The second session, where needed, is charged at just £50. Corrective procedures are generally more expensive, and are individually priced.
Will it look “natural”?
YES — It will look more natural than your own conventional make-up. Unless you tell somebody you’ve had it applied, they’ll never know. Empire Beauty specialises in “natural-looking” makeup and with an artistic eye will capture the natural beauty of the client.
What is the healing period like?
Swelling and redness are typically moderate to high immediately after the treatment. For approximately 7 days following the procedure your lips will appear dry and chapped and you will need to apply a thin film of ointment to the procedure site. During this first week the colour is a lot more intense than the end result but will soften as the lips heal.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Permanent cosmetics are permanent in that you will always have a permanent marking on your skin. However, over time, you will notice a gradual softening of colour occurring each year. Many women feel that this is advantageous, as they feel that their permanent makeup will age with them. “Colour boosts” are recommended yearly to those who wish to keep their permanent makeup looking as fresh as possible.
