FAQ's
What is SPMU?
SPMU stands for Semi Permanent Make Up which is cosmetic tattooing, an aesthetic procedure designed to enhance and define your features and can also be used to correct asymmetry. With the treatment we can enhance eyebrows, eyes and lips to give you the finish of perfectly applied makeup all day everyday!
This is achieved by infusing hypoallergenic pigments into the dermal layer of your skin. The pigments will remain there, gradually fading over a period of time but the results generally last for between 3 to 5 years.
Please note that in some cases a top up treatment maybe required in this time to keep the colour vibrant.
Who does the treatment suit?
Anyone who wants to look like they have perfectly applied Make Up at all times, be it first thing in the morning, on the beach, in the pool, even on the hectic school run or nipping to the shop! It is also perfect for those with allergies to Make Up or even if, for example, you find it difficult to see to apply your eyeliner without your glasses on.
SPMU versus Microblading
Microblading is a very invasive treatment that involves (repeatedly) slicing the skin.
The results with microblading fade considerably faster as the colour pigment is applied far more superficially unlike with SPMU where a specially designed tattoo machine is used.
SPMU gives consistently great results on all skin types whereas MicroBlading is not suitable for all skin types, the oilier the skin the quicker the results will fade, often unevenly, so the results can soon become patchy and lines become blurred and distorted.
How long does the treatment take and does it hurt!?
We will carry out a full consultation whereby the treatment process will be explained in full, your desired results are discussed and then the outline will be drawn onto the treatment area with a makeup pencil and then checked with the client to ensure they are totally happy with the marked treatment area.
Once this outline has been agreed, a very efficient numbing cream is applied and then the procedure will start. Tiny superficial cuts will be made along the agreed treatment area and the pigment colour will be deposited into these very small cuts.
The whole process will take approx. 1 to 2 hours depending on the chosen treatment.
The first week after treatment the colour will look darker than the final result will be as the treated area will peel and flake, this is part of the natural heeling process.

SPMU ~ Semi Permanent Make Up Treatment Areas
Eyebrow Enhancements
Eyebrows are such an important feature of the face. They play a huge part in your facial expression and symmetry. Perfectly shaped eyebrows frame the eyes giving the appearance of a youthful look and opening up the eye area. SPMU on brows is hugely popular as it gives a perfect shape to brows which are sparse, too thin and is also perfect for people who have very pale coloured eyebrows, giving long lasting results as opposed to the regular upkeep of tinting. It is also a popular anti-ageing treatment as this can be used to improve the appearance of dropped eyebrows giving the eye area a more lifted and opened appearance.
Eye Enhancements
Who doesn't want beautifully defined eyes, permanently!? There are many advantages to having SPMU eyeliner; It will enhance your appearance, it will not rub off, smudge, smear or run, ever! Your eyes will look perfectly "made up" when you wake up, go for a swim, pop to the shop, have unexpected visitors etc...It is also ideal for people with sensitive eyes or those with allergies to makeup or ailments such as hay fever, for people who wear glasses and can't see properly to apply normal makeup, or just can't get the hang of applying the perfect winged eyeliner look!
Lip Enhancements
SPMU can be used to line just the outline of the lips or to give an all over colour, both of which make the lips appear fuller and larger and, if needed, is also perfect for shaping uneven lips and covering or disguising scars.
As with all SPMU the results will give you are freshly "made up" look 24/7, no more lipstick on your glass...or teeth!
