EYEBROWS

When attending your consultation/procedure, your technician will discuss the different eyebrow techniques and in which manner the design and colour suite you. You may choose from simulating hair strokes (Microblading) or having a powdered shaded eyebrow behind the brow (Shading) and then we have a more gradient design where the brows start with a lighter shade and gradually darkens at the tails of the eyebrow (Ombre’ Eyebrows).

An anesthetic will be applied to help with any discomfort that may occur. The eyebrow shape will be drawn into the client’s specification together with the technician’s experience and advice. The different types of colours that the technician will use will be communicated to the client so that preferences are met, this will all be chosen by the clients skin type and tone. Before the technician starts with the actual procedure, the client will get the opportunity to approve the design.

As soon as the procedure is done the client will be given an aftercare regime and an ointment. Normally any permanent make-up procedure that is done will be very dark and prominent within the first 3-5 days of it being done. As it heals it will lighten to a beautiful natural looking colour giving you the freedom to do activities without having to worry about your make-up.

A follow up appointment will be booked for 8-12 weeks to access the healing and perfect the design.

CHOOSING THE BEST EYEBROW TECHNIQUE FOR YOUR NEEDS

Are you considering permanent makeup for your brows but not sure which technique is best for you? Let’s take a closer look at the different PMU brow techniques and what might work best for your individual needs.

Powder Brows (Highly Recommended Technique)

Powder brows are a popular choice for a reason. This technique involves creating a soft, powdered look that mimics the effect of makeup. Powder brows are highly recommended for those over the age of 35 or for clients who have had work done by other artists in the past. This is because powder brows create a fuller, more defined brow that is subtle and natural-looking. This technique is also great for all skin types, especially those with oily skin, as it creates a soft, matte finish that lasts up to 2-3 years with minimal touch-ups required.

Microblading (Not suitable for all skin types)

Microblading has been popular for some time now, but it’s not always the best choice for everyone. This technique uses a small blade to create hair-like strokes that mimic the look of natural brow hairs. While this technique can look great on some people, it’s not always the best option if you’re looking for a soft, natural-looking brow. Microblading can create a more defined, dramatic brow that may not suit everyone’s preferences.

Shading and Ombré Brows

There are other PMU brow techniques available as well, such as shading and ombre. Shading uses a tattoo machine to create a soft, shaded effect that results in a fuller, more defined brow with a natural look. Ombre combines microblading and shading techniques to create a gradient effect that results in a more defined, dramatic brow. Both of these techniques are great for all skin types, especially those with oily skin, and they last up to 2-3 years with minimal touch-ups required.

At Marli Becker Permanent make-up, we specialise in powder brows and have years of experience in helping clients achieve the perfect brow look. Marli is highly trained and skilled in all of the latest PMU techniques, and she take pride in delivering results that exceed our clients’ expectations.

We highly recommend powder brows not only because we specialise in them, but also because we have seen incredible results with this technique and we believe in its ability to transform the features of every single person, regardless of age.

LIPS

Full lip colour can be applied in either a natural hue or a more vivid one. Your technician will help you choose the correct colour that best suits your individual preference. You can wear your permanent lip colour alone in a natural tone or apply different shades of lipstick over your permanent lip colour for those occasions when you prefer a more dramatic look.

Sometimes lip liner alone can look artificial. If the colour complements your skin tone or you really like the look of a definitive line around the lips, then lip liner may be a good choice for you. If your choice of colour contrasts with your skin tone, a full lip colour procedure is a better choice. Remember, small lips will only look smaller with a defining lip liner so a full lip procedure is recommended in this case as well. You will find that the colour will last much longer when applied over permanent cosmetic lip colour than it did to a bare lip.

The colouring and shape of the natural lip is unpredictable, therefore it is common for a technician to request a consultation before an appointment for the actual procedure is scheduled. At the consultation, your colour and shape objectives and probability of success with permanent cosmetic pigments and techniques will be discussed.

Typically before scheduling an appointment you will be asked if you have ever had a cold sore or fever blister before on your lips. If you are prone to these conditions we will provide you with the necessary medication, which you will need to consume within 5days prior to your appointment.

If you and the consulting technician have agreed to go forward and schedule an appointment, the technician may suggest that the timing does not coincide with any important events. Lips appear very vibrant for a few days after the initial procedure and dryness associated with the healing process requires the application of a moisturizing product.

In booking your appointment you will be asked to choose between a topical pre-procedure anaesthetic and receiving an oral nerve block which will numb the entire lip for approximately 3hours. A lip liner will be drawn on by the technician before the permanent cosmetic lip colouring will proceed. The work table will be assembled with one-time-use accessories, a sterilized needle will be opened, the needle assembled into the device and the procedure begins. Immediately after the permanent cosmetic procedure the colour will appear very vibrant. Within a few days the outer layer of the permanent makeup will exfoliate. Many times this exfoliation process is inconsistent within the lips. It is important not to disturb the on-going exfoliation process by picking at portions of the lip that have not begun this process. After approximately a week, the majority of the residual lip tattooing has exfoliated off the entire lip area. The lips are somewhat tender and often remain that way to the touch for several weeks. This is why it is recommended to wait a minimum of six to eight weeks before the follow up procedure. Within this waiting period the lips will appear different. They may take on a “frosty” appearance for a few days off and on. They may appear more vibrant if the body is unusually warm (as an example after a warm shower.) Conversely they may appear duller if the body is unusually cool (as an example if you live in an area that has a cold climate ) Within the six-eight week period the lip colour settles in and the colour seen is the final colour resulting from the permanent makeup process. When you return to your technician for the follow up appointment the appearance of the colour and design will be discussed and adjustments made as appropriate.

A follow up appointment will be booked for 8-12 weeks and you will receive an aftercare regimen.

ETHNIC LIP NEUTRALISATION

Dark lip neutralisation in permanent make-up refers to a procedure aimed at correcting or balancing the natural colour of the lips, especially if they are naturally darker or have uneven pigmentation.

During the procedure, we use specialised pigments to lighten or neutralise the dark tones in the lips, creating a more natural appearance. This process typically involves carefully selecting the right pigment shade to match the client’s skin tone and desired lip colour.

We use a fine needle to implant the pigment into the lips, layer by layer, until the desired colour and coverage are achieved. The result is semi-permanent and can last 1-2 years.

Achieving the desired look may require several sessions, typically a minimum of three. Following this, maintenance is necessary through an annual touch-up to keep the lips looking their best.

Overall, dark lip neutralisation in permanent make-up helps clients achieve balanced and aesthetically pleasing lips by correcting any discolouration or unevenness in the natural lip colour.

EYELINER

A follow up appointment will be booked for 8-12 weeks to access the healing and perfect the design.

SALINE TATTOO REMOVAL

What is saline removal?

Saline removal offers a non-laser approach to tattoo removal. It involves tattooing a highly concentrated saline (salt) solution specifically designed for removal into the skin. As the skin heals, a natural process called Osmosis takes place, causing the body to lift the tattoo pigment to the surface, where it becomes trapped in a scab. When the scab eventually falls off, it takes the lifted pigment with it. In contrast, laser removal breaks down the pigment particles and eliminates them internally through the body’s waste system.

Similar to laser removal, multiple sessions of saline removal are typically necessary, with an 8-week gap between each session to ensure the skin’s integrity remains intact. Although this process may require some time, the long-term results make it well worth it.

Saline tattoo removal offers a gentler, less painful, and completely natural alternative to laser tattoo removal.

It carries a lower risk of scarring and hair loss compared to laser removal, making it an excellent choice for cosmetic tattoo removal.

Who do I provide this service to?

Saline removal is highly recommended for clients who have an existing brow tattoo that needs to be lightened before getting a new pair of brows tattooed. For Ombré brows, old tattoos often do not need to be completely removed, but they should be at least 70% faded. The lighter you can make the existing old brow tattoo, the better the results of the new tattoo coverup will be.

Saline removal can be performed to lighten or remove the brows, or to remove specific sections if you wish to change the shape.

Additionally, saline removal can be used to remove unwanted small body tattoos. However, it is important to note that body tattoos are generally darker and deeper in the skin, so they may require more sessions to remove compared to cosmetic tattoos.

Is permanent make-up painful?

The level of discomfort experienced during a permanent make-up procedure can vary from person to person and depend on several factors, such as the area being treated, the technique used, and the individual’s pain tolerance. Some people describe the sensation as mild discomfort, while others may experience more significant discomfort. To minimise discomfort, a topical anaesthetic or numbing cream is usually applied before the procedure, and many technicians also use a cooling device during the procedure to soothe the skin.

It’s important to keep in mind that everyone’s experience is different, and it’s best to discuss your concerns with your technician beforehand so they can take steps to make the experience as comfortable as possible for you.

Is permanent make-up safe?

When performed by a qualified and experienced professional using sterile equipment and following proper safety protocols, permanent make-up can be safe. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks associated with permanent make-up, including infection, allergic reactions, poor colour matching, scarring, and uneven colour or shape. It’s important to research and consult with a qualified and experienced permanent make-up technician to understand the potential risks and benefits and ensure the procedure is right for you.

How long does permanent make-up last?

The longevity of permanent make-up can depend on several factors, such as the technique used, the individual’s skin type and aftercare, and the type of pigment used. On average, permanent make-up can last anywhere from 1-3 years, and annual touch-ups may be necessary to maintain the desired look.

What should I expect during a permanent make-up session?

During a permanent make-up session, you can expect the following steps:

Consultation: A consultation with your technician to discuss your desired look and to determine if the procedure is right for you.
Numbing: A topical anaesthetic or numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort during the procedure.
Application: The technician will use a needle to deposit pigment into the skin, creating the desired look.
Aftercare: Your technician will provide aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and to minimise the risk of complications.

It’s important to keep in mind that every individual’s experience may vary, and it’s best to discuss your concerns and expectations with your technician before the procedure.
