Permanent Make‑Up

Enhance Your Beauty, Effortlessly

At London Skin Therapy, our Permanent Make‑Up treatments (also called micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing) are crafted to enhance your natural features—giving you refined brows, defined lips or subtle eyeliner that lasts. Whether you’re looking to streamline your morning routine, emphasise your features, or restore definition after hair loss or medical treatments, we tailor every result to you.

What Is Permanent Make‑Up?

Permanent Make‑Up involves placing specialised pigment into the skin’s upper layers to replicate the appearance of conventional makeup: shaped brows, eyeliner, lip contour, or full lip colour. 

Unlike traditional tattoos, the pigments and techniques used are designed specifically for delicate facial areas and can be adjusted in shape, colour and intensity to suit each client’s skin tone, facial structure and style.

Because your skin continues to change over time, the look subtly evolves—requiring occasional refresh treatments to maintain the freshness of the effect.

What Can It Treat & Enhance?

Our Permanent Make‑Up services can be applied to many areas, including:

  • Eyebrows – Hair‑stroke, powder/ombre or combination techniques to fill sparse brows, correct shape or create symmetry.

  • Eyeliner / Lash‑line enhancement – Subtle definition of the lash line or full liner look for both top & bottom.

  • Lips – Lip liner, full lip blush or contouring to redefine shape, enhance colour or correct asymmetry.

  • Medical/Paramedical Uses – Feature restoration after hair loss (e.g., brows from alopecia), scar or vitiligo camouflage, areola repigmentation after surgery. Dermesthetic Clinic+1


Your Treatment Journey

  1. Consultation – We begin by discussing your goals, reviewing your skin type, facial features, any medical background and examining your natural colour tones and brow/lip/eye shape.

  2. Design & Colour‑Match – Together we map the shape, outline the design and select the ideal pigment tones so the final result enhances your features rather than overwhelms them.

  3. Application – Using ultra‑fine equipment and topical numbing if needed, pigment is carefully applied. Depending on the area this typically takes around 60–120 minutes.

  4. Healing & Aftercare – The treated area may appear darker or more intense immediately post‑treatment; colour softens within days as the skin heals. We provide full after‑care guidance to help you maintain optimal results.

  5. Follow‑up/Touch‑up – To secure your result we often schedule a review/adjustment 4‑8 weeks after the initial procedure; subsequently, maintenance refreshes every 12–24 months (or sooner depending on skin type/lifestyle) help retain crisp definition.

FAQs

How long does it last?

Results typically last 1–3 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Over time, the colour gradually fades, and a touch-up is recommended to maintain definition.

 

Is the procedure safe?

Yes. All treatments are performed by certified, trained technicians using sterile equipment and high-quality pigments. Mild redness or swelling may occur initially, but serious complications are rare.

 

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe a mild, tolerable discomfort similar to light scratching. Topical numbing creams are applied to ensure maximum comfort throughout the procedure.

 

How do I prepare for my appointment?
  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications (if medically safe) 24 hours prior.

  • Do not pluck, wax, or tint brows the day of your appointment.

  • Arrive with a clean face free of makeup in the treatment area.

What aftercare is required?
  • Avoid touching, scratching, or picking the treated area while it heals.

  • Keep the area clean and follow any cleansing or ointment instructions.

  • Avoid saunas, swimming, or heavy exercise for the first few days.

  • Apply sunscreen once healed to prevent fading.

Can PMU be customised?

Absolutely. Every treatment is tailored to your features, skin tone, and desired outcome. We work closely with you to choose the pigment colour, shape, and style that best enhances your natural beauty.

 

Who is suitable for Permanent Make‑Up?

PMU is suitable for most adults looking to enhance or restore features, including those with sparse brows, uneven lip colour, or those who want to save time on daily makeup. Certain medical conditions or skin sensitivities may require consultation before treatment.

 

Can PMU be removed?

Yes, but removal is more complex than fading over time. Options include laser removal or pigment lightening techniques. We discuss this in detail during your consultation if needed.
