How It Works

Consultation

We conduct a thorough consultation to understand each client's individual needs and preferences, ensuring a customised treatment that delivers natural-looking results.

Treatment

We always use high-quality, sterile equipment and follows strict health and safety guidelines to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Depending on the treatment, the session can take 1.5 to 3 hours.

Top Up

A top-up session 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment is recommended to achieve the desired colour and shape, ensuring long-lasting, quality results.

Colour Booster

Over time, colour can fade due to factors such as sun exposure or skincare products. A colour booster can help refresh the look of the semi-permanent makeup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it painful?

We are all different, and some skin is more sensitive to pain than others, but having had SPMU treatments myself, I would call it more like irritation rather than pain.

Will the colour change after the treatment?

Please remember the treated area will look darker for the first 2-3 days, then the colour will start losing intensity. By week 4-6, it will fade by approximately 50%, sometimes 60%, which is exactly what we expect with SPMU treatments.

Can I still do lip blush if my lips are nearly always cracked or dry?

It is best if your lips are in top condition before having them done. Give them a little attention in the days before your appointment: gently exfoliate with a soft toothbrush, apply lip balm regularly, and drink plenty of water to help hydrate your skin.

Can I have a filler in my lips if I want SPMU?

Lip filler first is always better. However, you should wait for 21 days either before or after having injectables.

How long does the SPMU result last?

It can last between 12 months and 3 years, depending on your skin and how it retains the pigment. The pigment lightens over time and fades away. Unlike microblading, it doesn't leave any scars or marks.

Why do I need a top-up?

The purpose of the touch-up treatment is to fine-tune your enhancement. The treatment is not considered complete without a top-up.

Will the eyeliner eventually turn that green or blue colour like tattoos do?

No, it will not. Only old-fashioned tattoos turn green or blue as they go too deep into the skin. A different technique is used in SPMU. We don't puncture the skin as deeply, so the pigment isn't trapped permanently. Semi-permanent lash lines gently fade away over about 3 years.
