an advanced Permanent Makeup treatment which mimics your own natural eyebrow.<\/p>\n With this technique there is no one size fits all approach.\u00a0 Each piece of work is individual.<\/p>\n With the use of an electric PMU needle we create hair like strokes on the skin to fill out the brows and make them look fuller.\u00a0 It’s like painting a picture of a brow on the skin.\u00a0 It’s a very safe treatment with minimal trauma caused to the skin.<\/p>\n If you want natural looking Permanent Makeup this is the treatmment for you.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What skin type ISN’T suitable for Hyperrealism Technique?” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you have alopecia of the eyebrow you may have a skin condition called\u00a0called Ulerythema-Ophryogenesis<\/a> which causes a loss of brow hair from the middle to the end of the eyebrow.\u00a0 The skin in this area tends to be red and bumpy.\u00a0 If you have this condition PMU is not possible.<\/span><\/p>\n Other difficult skin types come with conditions:<\/p>\n Oily skin: an organic pigment will need to be used on oily skin.\u00a0 Organic pigments are very strong and are permanent, meaning there will always be a residue of the pigment left in the skin permanently.<\/p>\n Senstive Skin: retains pigment less than normal to dry skin, therefore an organic pigment may need to be used to ensure longevity.<\/p>\n Mature skin 55+: is very thin, therefore carries a risk of the pigment migrating under the skin.<\/p>\n

permanent?” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_font=”|300|||||||” closed_title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Unlike traditional tattooing, which is permanent, Machine Hairstrokes and Powder Brows are considered to be semi-permanent, lasting around 1-3 years depending on the skin type and skincare routine.<\/p>\n In some cases, the pigment will never entirely disappear and may leave a faint shadow in the skin.

Anaesthetics containing lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine are suitable and can be purchased online, from a local pharmacy or your doctor.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Do I need to grow my brows out for the appointment?” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_font=”|300|||||||” closed_title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n No.\u00a0 Please continue to shape and style your brows how you like them.\u00a0 It’s better for me to see how you like to have them.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Do I need to stop using my hair growth serum?” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ title_font=”|300|||||||” closed_title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Yes!\u00a0 Please stop using any hair growth serum 2 weeks before the treatment.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Does it work over Scar Tissue?” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ title_font=”|300|||||||” closed_title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Yes we can safely tattoo over scar tissue unless it’s a keloid scar.\u00a0 Scar tissue responds differently to healthy skin.\u00a0 The ink over the scar may either heal very light, or may form dark clusters of pigment.\u00a0 As artists we always use our skill to get you the best result possible.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How long does the appointment take?” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_font=”|300|||||||” closed_title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Typically around 2.5 – 3 hours to:<\/p>\n 1) Map the new eyebrow shape and draw the main lines<\/p>\n 2) Chose the pigment colours.<\/p>\n 3) The tattoo procedure takes around 1.5 – 2 hrs.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Will I need a touch up and is that included in the price?” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ title_font=”|300|||||||” closed_title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Touch up appointments are\u00a0OPTIONAL!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n If after 4-10 weeks you are happy with your brows you do not need to come back for a touch up.<\/p>\n Scenarios where you may want a touch up 4-10 weeks later are:<\/p>\n If the above is true then you\u2019re welcome to book a touch up for no later than 10 weeks post the first treatment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The cost of the touch up is \u20ac150.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How long will it take to heal?” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_font=”|300|||||||” closed_title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The skin will fully heal by 7-14 days. However, you won’t see the exact colour and shape of the strokes until around 4-6 weeks, which is why the top-up is after this point.<\/p>\n For the first couple of days, your brows may seem very dark as they start to scab over. By week two, the scabs will start to fall away, revealing light pigment underneath. Don’t panic. This is all part of the healing process. Your skin would have healed over the pigment giving it a milky look. Over the coming weeks, the skin will regenerate, and the pigment will start to show through in-time for your touch up.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Will I get scabs?” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ title_font=”|300|||||||” closed_title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Generally no.\u00a0 Most people do not get scabs with machine work.\u00a0 With proper after care including cleaning the brows and keeping them moisturised with a coconut oil or shea balm, keeps the scabs away.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How do I make an appointment?” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ title_font=”|300|||||||” closed_title_font=”|300|||||||” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n\n
