<p>Semi-permanent make-up has been around for quite some time now, but remains a relatively misunderstood concept in general. Exactly what it is and how it works is relatively common knowledge, but there remain various questions both men and women alike usually seek to clarify before going ahead.</p>

<p>So for those who may have made the decision to try out semi-permanent make-up or are still on the fence about things, here’s quick look at a few sample questions and answers from the professionals at <strong>www.bluebellaestheticswirral.co.uk</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>How Long Does Semi-Permanent Make-Up Last?</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps the single most common question of all is that of how long semi-permanent make-up lasts following any given procedure. The truth however is that the lifespan of semi-permanent make-up will be determined by not only the type of procedure you have, but the expertise with which it is carried out and whether you undergo top-up procedures along the way. Generally speaking however, semi-permanent make-up has the potential to last as long as five years.</p>
<p><strong>What Can Make Semi-Permanent Make-Up Fade?</strong></p>
<p>There will always be some individuals who are more likely to experience premature fading of semi-permanent make-up in relation to various factors. These include the age of the individual in question, their specific skin type, their current overall state of health, any medication they may be on, sun exposure levels and the beauty/cleansing products they use – particularly exfoliates.</p>
<p><strong>Is Semi-Permanent Make-up Painful?</strong></p>
<p>In order to minimise discomfort, topical aesthetic products are used before the commencement of treatment. The skin may also be treated with a secondary anaesthetic during the application process to further reduce discomfort. The process itself bears many similarities to those of having tattoos performed, so while there may be some discomfort during the procedure, semi-permanent make-up is not considered to be particularly painful.</p>
<p><strong>Is Semi-Permanent Make-up safe?</strong></p>
<p>Once again, the answer to this question varies in accordance with the provider you choose to carry out the procedure. There is a very big difference between an experienced, dedicated and highly professional specialist semi-permanent make-up service and the kind of low-grade salon that offers a few of its own bargain-basement procedures. By establishing the reputation and stature of the clinic ahead of time, you can essentially ensure that the semi-permanent make-up you choose is indeed safe.</p>
<p><strong>What About Allergic Reactions?</strong></p>
<p>In order to ensure adverse reactions to each semi-permanent make-up procedure are avoided, patch tests will be offered prior to the procedure taking place. If there is any sign of even a mild allergic reaction, the treatment will be refused for the safety of the client.</p>
<p><strong>Who Is Semi-Permanent Make-Up Suitable For?</strong></p>
<p>Technically speaking, pretty much anyone with an interest in streamlining their day to day makeup application and removal processes could benefit from semi-permanent make-up. However, semi-permanent make-up is also particularly suitable for those who may have lost some or all of their facial hair due to illness, treatments or the aging process, those who have allergies to conventional makeup and are those who due to illness or mobility issues find it difficult to apply make-up manually.</p>
<p><strong>Will The Results Be Immediate?</strong></p>
<p>Immediately after the application of semi-permanent make-up, the treated area will look considerably darker and more intense than the long-term desired effect. This will usually take between three days and one week to fade and subside, leaving you with the specific colour and shade you requested.</p>
<p><strong>Does Semi-Permanent Make-Up Interfere With Facial Injectables?</strong></p>
<p>Technically speaking, the answer is no, although if you are planning to have any facial injections in the near future – Botox for example – it is important to ensure that you schedule these at least six weeks before or six weeks after the application of semi-permanent make-up. If in doubt, speak to your chosen specialist for advice.</p>
<p><strong>What Kind of Aftercare Is Required?</strong></p>
<p>Generally speaking, aftercare demands are minimal but vary in accordance with the specific nature of the procedure carried out and the individual in question. You will be provided with full instructions with regard to how to properly care for your skin following the procedure and can ask as many questions as necessary before, during and after the application of the semi-permanent make-up.</p>
<p><strong>How Can I be Sure I’m Choosing the Right Clinic?</strong></p>
<p>Last but not least, the single most important decision you will make throughout the process is that of which clinic to go with for your own semi-permanent make-up application. There are literally hundreds of clinics and centres up and down the United Kingdom right now – quality standards from one to the next can be night and day. As such, it’s a case of ensuring that the clinic you choose has plenty of relevant experience in this particular field, is consummately professional in every respect, does not put undue pressure on clients to make decisions/commitments and has earned plenty of positive feedback from past and present customers.</p>
