This treatment is ideal for those seeking to save time on daily makeup application, as well as for individuals with sparse or uneven brows, pale lips, or those who want to enhance their eyes.

Suitable candidate for treatment

Cosmetic Tattooing is ideal for individuals looking to enhance their facial features with long-lasting results. Suitable candidates include those who wish to define their eyebrows, add color to their lips, or create a permanent eyeliner effect. This treatment is also beneficial for individuals with sparse or uneven brows, pale or asymmetrical lips, or those who have difficulty applying makeup due to allergies, sensitivities, or physical limitations.

Before undergoing cosmetic tattooing, it’s important to ensure that you are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, or those who are pregnant or nursing, may need to consult with their doctor before considering this treatment. A thorough consultation with a qualified technician will help determine if cosmetic tattooing is the right option for you, ensuring the treatment is tailored to your desired outcome.

The Cosmetic Tattooing Process

The Cosmetic Tattooing process begins with a detailed consultation to discuss your goals and design preferences. During this consultation, your technician will help you choose the right pigment color and shape for your features. Before the procedure, the treatment area is numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort.

During the procedure, the technician uses a specialized tattooing device or microblading tool to implant the pigment into the skin’s dermal layer. The process typically takes between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the area being treated and the complexity of the design. After the initial session, a follow-up appointment is usually scheduled 4 to 6 weeks later to assess the results and make any necessary touch-ups.

The pigment will appear darker immediately after the procedure but will gradually soften and lighten as the skin heals. Cosmetic tattooing results can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and exposure to sunlight. Periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain the desired look.

Recovery and aftercare

Cosmetic Tattooing requires minimal downtime, but some aftercare is necessary to ensure optimal results. Immediately after the procedure, the treated area may appear slightly swollen and the pigment will be more intense. These effects typically subside within a few days. The treated area will form a light scab as it heals, and it’s important not to pick at the scabs to avoid pigment loss or scarring.

To care for your new cosmetic tattoo, avoid exposure to water, sweat, and direct sunlight during the initial healing period. Your technician will provide specific aftercare instructions, including how to cleanse the area and which ointments to apply to keep the skin hydrated and protected. It’s also advisable to avoid makeup application on the treated area until it is fully healed, which usually takes about 7 to 10 days.

Possible side effects

Cosmetic Tattooing is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced technician. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects to be aware of. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area. These symptoms usually resolve within a few days as the skin heals.

In rare cases, more significant side effects such as infection, allergic reactions to the pigment, or scarring can occur. It’s crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your technician to minimize the risk of complications. If you have a history of keloid scarring, it’s important to discuss this with your technician before the procedure, as cosmetic tattooing may not be suitable for you.

Individuals with a history of cold sores may need to take preventive medication before undergoing lip tattooing, as the procedure can trigger an outbreak. Always communicate any concerns or pre-existing conditions with your technician to ensure a safe and successful outcome.

cosmetic tattooing faqs

Cosmetic tattooing, also known as permanent makeup, is a procedure where pigments are implanted into the skin to enhance facial features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. It aims to create a long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement that reduces the need for daily makeup application.

Common areas treated with cosmetic tattooing include eyebrows (microblading, powder brows), eyeliner (upper and lower lids), lips (lip liner, full lip color), and beauty marks. It can also be used for scalp micropigmentation and areola reconstruction.

The longevity of cosmetic tattooing varies depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and the type of pigment used. Generally, results last between 1 to 3 years. Touch-up sessions are recommended to maintain the desired look.

During a cosmetic tattooing procedure, the chosen design and color are carefully applied to the treatment area using a sterile needle and pigment. A topical numbing cream is usually applied to minimise discomfort. The procedure can take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the area being treated.

Common side effects of cosmetic tattooing include mild redness, swelling, and tenderness at the treatment site. These effects typically subside within a few days. There is a risk of infection, allergic reactions, or uneven results.

Preparation for cosmetic tattooing includes avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil, for at least a week before the procedure. It’s also recommended to avoid alcohol and caffeine on the day of the treatment. Follow any specific instructions provided by your practitioner.

After a cosmetic tattooing procedure, the treated area may be slightly red and swollen. It's important to keep the area clean and dry, avoid direct sunlight, and follow aftercare instructions we provide. Healing typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks, during which time the pigment may appear darker before softening to its final color.

Initial results are visible immediately after the procedure, but the final results will become apparent after the healing process is complete, usually within 4 to 6 weeks. The colour may appear darker at first and then gradually soften and settle into the desired shade.

Good candidates for cosmetic tattooing are individuals who want to enhance their facial features with a long-lasting solution, those with busy lifestyles who prefer not to apply makeup daily, and individuals with conditions such as alopecia or sparse hair growth. It is suitable for most skin types and ages.

The cost of cosmetic tattooing varies depending on the area treated. On average, the cost can range from $300 to $1000 per session. It is best to book a consultation with us for a personalised cost estimate based on your specific treatment plan.
