Permanent Cosmetics – Brows

Before your treatment begins, you’ll have a consultation to discuss your expectations, realistic goals, colour choices, and preferred shapes. An eyebrow template will be pre-drawn with makeup for your review, and once you and Mel are both satisfied, the selected pigment will be carefully implanted into the dermal layer of the skin using a fine needle.

Immediately after the procedure, the colour will appear more intense and defined. This will gradually soften and settle over the healing period, developing into the natural-looking brows you desire.

This will vary from person to person depending on lifestyle and skin type. Typically, PMU brows will require a top-up around 12–18 months after the initial treatment to maintain their fresh appearance. Without maintenance, the pigment will gradually lighten and may fade completely in about 2 years.

The fading process is strongly affected by factors such as sun and UV exposure, certain facial treatments (like retinol and AHA acids), and your individual skin type.

Your skin type is the canvas we work on, and its condition will directly affect your treatment results.

• Dry Skin: Ideal for all styles, especially hairstrokes.

• Normal Skin: Suitable for all techniques, including hairstrokes.

• Oily Skin: Best suited for shading or powder techniques.

• Combination Skin: If oil is concentrated in the T-zone, shading techniques are recommended.

• Ultra-Thick Skin / Enlarged Pores / Deep Lines and Wrinkles: Only soft powder techniques are appropriate if these features are present throughout the brow area.

• Scarring: Tattooing over scars can be unpredictable and may require multiple gentle sessions. The scar must be lighter than the surrounding skin. If it is dark or red, we cannot tattoo over it.

We work carefully through your natural brow hairs to maintain the most natural look possible. With your consent, we may remove any stray hairs outside the chosen shape.

For clients with thick, bushy brows, a shaded powder brow is recommended to create a soft background colour, as fine hairstrokes won’t be as visible.

Clients with very sparse or minimal hair growth have more flexibility in choosing their preferred style.

Immediately after treatment, your brows will have the appearance of applied makeup. The chosen style will determine their darkness and intensity. Some mild redness may occur due to the abrasion of the skin, but this will subside over the next few days.

You’ll receive complete aftercare instructions at the end of your session, which will also be explained to you in detail.
