ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Permanent makeup deserves the same care as any procedure that enters the skin.
Semi-permanent makeup is planned around skin health, healing history, pigment choice, desired shape and the long-term way colour may fade.
01
Skin Assessment
Active skin conditions, scar history, allergies and previous procedures are reviewed before pigment is considered.
02
Shape & Colour
Design and pigment are selected conservatively with facial balance, skin tone and future fading in mind.
03
Safe Technique
Hygiene, sterile practice and appropriate technique are essential because the skin barrier is intentionally broken.
04
Healing & Review
Aftercare, expected healing and the possibility of maintenance or colour change are discussed in advance.
TREATMENT FOCUS
What matters before any pigment is placed.
Semi-permanent makeup should begin with a careful review of skin health, healing history, desired shape and colour, and the long-term maintenance involved.
Pigment & design
Colour and shape should be chosen conservatively with long-term fading in mind.
Hygiene & aftercare
Sterile technique and correct wound care are essential because the skin barrier is intentionally broken.
Long-term colour change
Pigment can fade or shift over time, so maintenance, correction limits and future removal difficulty are discussed in advance.
IN MORE DETAIL
Understanding semi-permanent makeup.
Semi-permanent makeup places pigment into the skin to create a longer-lasting cosmetic effect. The consultation should cover the exact area being treated, desired shape, pigment choice, previous cosmetic tattooing, tendency to scar, allergies and any skin condition in the treatment area.
Pigment can change as it fades, and correction or removal can be difficult. For that reason, conservative planning and realistic expectations are more important than following a trend.
YOUR JOURNEY
What to expect at Lumera Derm.
Semi-permanent makeup should move from assessment to design, procedure and healing review in a deliberate sequence.
01
Consultation
Review skin health, allergies, scar history, previous pigment and the result you want.
02
Design & Colour
Agree on a conservative shape and pigment plan with long-term fading in mind.
03
Procedure
Treatment is performed only when the area is suitable and hygiene requirements can be met.
04
Healing Review
Follow aftercare carefully and review healing before considering any maintenance or correction.
SAFETY & SUITABILITY
Skin health comes before pigment.
Active infection or dermatitis, significant allergy history, a tendency to problematic scarring, medicines that affect healing, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and recent procedures may change suitability. Pigment source, hygiene and realistic expectations should be discussed before proceeding.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Semi-Permanent Makeup FAQs.
Important questions about pigment, healing and long-term maintenance.
Yes. Pigment is placed into the skin, so infection control, pigment quality, allergic reactions, scarring and long-term colour change all matter.
Duration varies with pigment, technique, skin type, sun exposure and the area treated. Fading is expected and may not be perfectly uniform.
Yes. Pigments can fade or shift tone, which is why conservative colour selection and maintenance planning are important.
Not always. Removal can require laser or other specialist approaches, and some cosmetic pigments may darken with laser treatment.
Active infection, inflamed skin in the area, certain medical conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, recent procedures or medicines affecting healing may change suitability.
