Tracie Giles Questions & Answers on Semi Permanent Make Up – Part 2

Permanent, or semi-permanent makeup: your questions answered

We’ve devoted this page of our website to answer the most frequently-asked questions we receive from prospective clients and the media about permanent makeup – also sometimes referred to as semi-permanent makeup. You can find further information at Permanent Makeup, or Semi-Permanent Make Up explained.

If you have any questions that are not answered here, or questions that you would like a fuller explanation about, please contact Tracie today.

Why have Permanent Makeup?

Everyone wants to look the best they can, naturally. Think how convenient it would be to enjoy perfectly arched eyebrows, wide-awake, pretty eyes and beautifully contoured lips, without the effort of time-consuming morning and night time makeup rituals. All subtle, soft and perfectly in place with no smudging, no mess, no problem.

With permanent makeup you have the confidence of knowing you look the best you can look, right round the clock.

Am I suitable for permanent makeup?

Most people are suitable for some form of permanent makeup. At Tracie Giles, Tracie herself will explore with you precisely which treatments will suit you best in a one-to-one consultation. This will include an analysis of your natural skin colour and a discussion of your dreams and expectations and any features you wish to correct, mask or balance. This consultation allows Tracie to recommend specific treatments she believes will achieve the effect you want and allow you to put your best face forward to the world.

How long will Permanent Makeup last?

Permanent Makeup can last for many years but is dependent on several factors including your skin type, your annual sun exposure and lifestyle.

For these reasons, Tracie Giles recommends a colour refresher treatment every twelve to eighteen months to maintain perfect results.

Is Permanent Makeup safe?

Absolutely. All the pigments we use are hygienically prepared and packaged and created from natural minerals that are specifically selected for their safe, non-toxic and hypoallergenic properties. Technicians and cosmetic surgeons throughout the world trust them in everyday use; moreover, ophthalmologists actually recommend eye procedures using permanent make-up for women who are sensitive to conventional cosmetics.

Does Permanent Makeup hurt?

The treatment is performed with your comfort in mind and we want you to be relaxed during the procedure. For this reason, an anaesthetic will be applied to the area being worked on prior to treatment to minimise any discomfort.

What if I don’t like the result?

Tracie takes great care to discuss treatments she knows will enhance your face or body the way you want it to. Because she takes so much trouble with this initial personal consultation, no client has ever been unhappy with the end result.

Such care may not be universal in the industry, however, and numerous new clients have come to Tracie asking her to correct or improve treatments done elsewhere that have not turned out as expected or gone wrong in some way.

Is Permanent Makeup expensive?

Compared with many other cosmetic enhancements, such dermal fillers and Botox® for example, which require frequent and costly maintenance, permanent makeup is a comparatively low cost and sensible alternative.

As in much of the cosmetic industry, it is usually the higher end of the market that will deliver the most effective results. For this reason, quality of service, comprehensive consultations and the use of high quality pigments by experienced technicians, should guide your decision rather than price alone.

Health & safety standards?

Rest assured the equipment used is the latest and most technologically advanced. Like medical equipment, permanent cosmetic equipment is safe by design against cross contamination. Fully disposable ‘single use only’ applicator cartridges are used, for your complete safety and peace of mind.

All equipment selected and used by Tracie Giles is fully inspected by the Health and Safety executive and complies with all Health and Safety requirements.

What next?

If we have now answered all your questions and you feel reassured about our methods, treatments and expertise, the next step is to arrange your one-to-one consultation with Tracie. Prior to the consultation you will be sent a simple skin patch test, to ensure your suitability for treatment.

At the consultation you will receive a personalised colour analysis that will take into account your individual skin undertones, hair and eye colour. This enables us to custom blend the natural pigments that will be used to achieve the look you desire. This is a painstaking process as no two people are the same and the blend must be carefully and uniquely prescribed for each client.

As part of your permanent makeup consultation, we will also discuss your desired look and explain how this can be achieved.

Treatment sessions can take up to two hours and are generally arranged in two stages, spaced between four to six weeks apart, allowing for a safe, comfortable and gradual process.
