Semi-Permanent Makeup and Micro-blading 

At Vita Renewal Aesthetics, we offer two advanced forms of skin tattooing, both designed to enhance your natural features with elegance and precision: 

• Semi-permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, is a refined technique that deposits specially formulated pigments into the upper layers of the skin. This treatment enhances facial features such as eyebrows, eyes, and lips, providing a polished look that fades gracefully over time—ideal for those who wish to adapt to evolving beauty preferences or trends. If you are looking for fuller brows, softly defined eyeliner or natural lip blush, semi-permanent makeup offers a bespoke solution that saves time and elevates your everyday look. 
• Microblading is a meticulous form of semi-permanent tattooing that uses a handheld tool with ultra-fine needles to etch hair-like strokes into the brow area. It creates a beautifully realistic brow that mimics natural hair, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for luxury eyebrow microblading. Microblading can also be adapted to define eyes and lips, offering soft, subtle enhancement with long-lasting results. 

Each treatment starts with a personalised consultation, during which your technician evaluates your skin type, tone, and preferences to create a customised semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances your unique features. 

• In semi-permanent makeup treatments, your technician uses a specialised digital device to precisely apply pigment to the upper layers of the skin. Each session is tailored to your preferences, with shape and shade carefully mapped to complement your facial features and natural colouring. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort, and you’ll have the opportunity to give feedback throughout the process. Premium pigments are layered gradually to achieve a soft, natural finish. 
• Microblading treatments utilise a manual tool to create fine, precise strokes that replicate natural brow hairs. Your technician will collaborate to shape and shade your brows, considering your face shape, brow symmetry, and preferred style. As with all our treatments, pigment selection is based on your skin tone and natural hair colour to ensure beautifully harmonious results. 

Longevity varies depending on individual factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Touch-ups are generally recommended every 12 to 24 months to sustain your results. 

Results are visible immediately after treatment. However, the treated area may initially appear darker or more defined—this is entirely normal and will soften as the skin heals. Most clients find their ideal result once the healing process is complete, typically within 10–14 days. A follow-up appointment may be necessary to perfect the result with necessary touch-ups or adjustments. 

Semi-permanent makeup and microblading treatments offer long-lasting effects, typically lasting between 1 to 3 years. The exact duration depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Lighter shades and certain skin types may require more frequent touch-ups to maintain optimal colour and definition. 

 Pain levels during tattooing or semi-permanent makeup can vary from person to person. Some individuals may find the sensation mildly uncomfortable, while others describe it as a constant scratching or stinging feeling. 

Several factors can influence how much discomfort you experience: 

• Location: Sensitive or bony areas—such as the ribs, collarbone, wrists, or ankles—tend to be more painful. 
• Individual pain tolerance: Pain tolerance varies from person to person. 
• Technician’s technique: The skill and technique of your technician are essential. Experienced professionals adapt their approach to minimise discomfort and may utilise numbing agents. 

To make the process more comfortable, your technician may apply topical numbing cream or ice packs before the procedure begins. These methods help reduce sensitivity and make the experience more manageable. It is crucial to communicate your pain tolerance and concerns to your technician. They can offer support and make adjustments to ensure you feel at ease throughout the treatment. 

While skin tattooing and semi-permanent makeup are generally safe, there are a few potential side effects. Most are mild and temporary when performed by a qualified technician who follows proper hygiene protocols. 

Possible side effects include: 

• Discomfort or pain: Experiencing some pain experience is very normal during the procedure but typically subsides during the healing process. 
• Infection: Inadequate hygiene and sterilisation can cause infections, resulting in redness, swelling, pus, and heightened pain. It is essential to select a skilled technician who follows rigorous hygiene protocols. 
• Allergic reactions: Although rare, some individuals may react to tattoo ink or other materials, resulting in itching, rashes, or swelling around the treated area. 
• Irritation or texture changes: The skin may temporarily appear raised, bumpy, or irritated. Though this typically subsides, in some cases, medical attention may be required if necessary. 
• Inflammation: Mild redness and swelling are common and typically disappear within a few days. 
• Scarring: While uncommon, scarring can occur—especially if the skin is prone to keloids. Following aftercare instructions helps minimise this risk. 

Following all aftercare instructions from your technician is essential for optimal healing and minimising the risk of side effects.
