Semi Permament Makeup Removal
When you’ve changed your mind about your semi permanent makeup…
What is semi permanent makeup removal?
If you have had a permanent or semi permanent makeup procedure you would now prefer to be removed, a safe salt/saline is the ideal way to remove the unwanted pigmentation.
Why choose semi permanent makeup removal?
Semi permanent makeup fades over time, but for many reasons you may not want to wait. The advantage of using a salt/saline technique is that it is safe for all skin types. It is also a more natural and holistic approach compared to laser treatments, and there is less risk of blistering, scarring or hyper/hypopigmentation (blotchy patches). In addition, the process is not colour selective. This means it is equally consistent on all ink colours, giving you a more consistent result.

Each treatment plan is different. However, it’s important that you understand the process and what is required for optimum results. Complex areas can take six sessions or more, normally five to six weeks apart.
