Your Questions, Answered

Consultation and Suitability

Most people are suitable, but your consultation ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for your skin type, medical history, and desired result. Previous treatments, medications, and lifestyle factors are all discussed before proceeding.
Yes. Modern techniques focus on enhancing your natural features rather than creating a heavy make-up look. Colour, shape and intensity are tailored carefully to suit your face and preferences.

Some medical conditions or medications may require additional precautions. This is reviewed confidentially during consultation to ensure safety.
Colour matching and design are agreed collaboratively during consultation, taking into account skin tone, natural features, and personal style.

Treatment Experience

Most clients describe mild discomfort/scratching sensation rather than pain. A natural topical numbing cream containing clove, which acts as a natural anesthetic, is used to maintain comfort throughout the procedure. The client can also purchase from a pharmacy Emla (lidocaine) cream, which is an anesthetic cream. This can be applied one hour before appointment time, if the client is particularly worried about feeling uncomfortable during their procedure.
Appointments typically last 2 hours, depending on the treatment area. This includes consultation, design, colour selection, and the procedure itself.
You’ll receive preparation guidance beforehand. This usually includes avoiding alcohol, caffeine, certain skincare products, and sun exposure shortly before treatment.
Most clients resume normal activities immediately, although mild redness or sensitivity can occur temporarily. As the colour is around 50% darker than the colour it will heal to, it is recommended that you don’t have the procedure done just before a holiday or special occasion, as they need 5 days to heal and settle.

Results and Longevity

Results typically last between one and three years depending on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure and skincare habits. A top-up appointment is required after 6 weeks and annual appointments will maintain the colour vibrancy.
Initial colour appears stronger immediately after treatment and softens as healing progresses over 7–14 days. Final results settle gradually.
Yes. A Top-up session is recommended 6 weeks after the initial treatment to perfect colour and shape.
In many cases, adjustments or corrections are possible. A consultation determines the best approach.

Strict hygiene protocols are followed, including sterile equipment, professional-grade pigments, and a clean treatment environment.
Some redness, tenderness or slight swelling is normal initially. Colour softens as the skin heals. Aftercare guidance will be provided to support optimal results.
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions covering cleansing, moisturising, sun protection, and activities to avoid during healing. You will also be provided with an A&D vitamin healing cream, which has to be applied for the following 5 days after treatment.
