About This Treatment

Semi-permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing in which pigment is placed into the skin to create longer-lasting cosmetic definition. Depending on the service, it may be used for areas such as the eyebrows, lips or eyeliner.

The exact technique, pigment, shape and treatment area should be agreed before the procedure. Although the term “semi-permanent” is commonly used, pigment can remain in the skin for a long time and removal may be difficult.

Healing and colour retention vary between individuals. A qualified provider should review skin condition, allergies, previous cosmetic tattooing and relevant medical history before treatment.

Important Notes

Semi-permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattooing procedure and should be treated accordingly. Possible complications include infection, allergic reactions, scarring, pigment migration, uneven colour, unwanted colour changes and dissatisfaction with the final shape or appearance. People prone to keloid scarring may have a higher risk of abnormal scar formation. Rare reactions involving tattoo pigment during MRI examinations have also been reported. Pigment can fade over time, but removal or correction may be difficult and complete removal cannot be guaranteed.
