A permanent makeup consultation is crucial for assessing your suitability, understanding the procedure, and aligning expectations. It allows Bethan to evaluate your skin, discuss your desired look, and identify any potential contraindications before committing to the treatment.
Here's why a consultation is essential:
-
Medical Assessment:
Bethan will review your medical history to ensure you're a suitable candidate for permanent makeup, checking for conditions like blood disorders, auto immune disorders, or skin conditions that could affect the procedure or healing.
-
Personalised Consultation:
You'll discuss your desired look, desired outcome, and the style of makeup you usually wear. Bethan will analyse your facial features, skin tone, and bone structure to recommend the best approach.

Choosing the Right Technician:

Treatment
Choosing the right permanent makeup technique depends on individual preferences, desired look, and skin type.
Factors to consider include the desired level of definition, skin type (oily, dry, etc.), and the artist's expertise.
Popular techniques include micro-blading for hair-like strokes, powder brows for a softer, filled-in look, combination brows for a blend of both and lip blushing for a subtle lip enhancement.
Choosing the right style/treatment might be confusing to you, there's no need to worry as Bethan's advice will guide you to achieve the most natural results.
Aftrcare
Aftercare is crucial for permanent makeup (PMU) because it directly impacts healing, color retention, and the overall longevity of the results. Following proper aftercare instructions helps prevent infections, promotes optimal healing, and ensures the pigment settles correctly in the skin. Neglecting aftercare can lead to poor healing, loss of pigment, and even complications like infection or scarring.
Here's why aftercare is so important:
-
Preventing Infections:
Keeping the treated area clean and avoiding exposure to bacteria is essential to prevent infections.
-
Promoting Optimal Healing:
Proper aftercare, including keeping the area moisturised and protected, helps the skin heal efficiently and minimises scarring.
-
Ensuring Color Retention:
Aftercare instructions often include guidelines on avoiding sun exposure, certain skincare products, and activities that could affect the pigment, all of which can influence how well the colour retains in the skin.
-
Long-Lasting Results:
Following aftercare instructions helps the pigment to settle properly and maintain its vibrancy for a longer period.
-
Avoiding Complications:
Proper aftercare helps minimise the risk of complications such as excessive scabbing, pigment migration, or allergic reactions.
