What to expect
Consultation
We talk through shape, colour and healed results, and check the treatment is right for your skin.
Treatment
A topical anaesthetic minimises discomfort (purchased separately, as required by UK law). Allow a minimum of 2.5 hours per area.
Healing & top-up
Colour settles as swelling subsides over 24–48 hours. A follow-up procedure 6–12 weeks later refines and perfects the result.
FAQ
Does it hurt?
A topical anaesthetic is applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort. Many clients describe it as tingling, and some even fall asleep — most say facial threading is more painful.
Is there any downtime?
You may experience light to moderate swelling immediately afterwards, especially with eyeliner and lip treatments, generally subsiding within 24–48 hours. Most clients return to work straight away or the next day. Within a few days the area will scab lightly and flake, and the colour will lighten.
Will I still need my brows shaped and tinted?
Yes — permanent makeup doesn't affect hair growth or colour, it only colours the skin beneath, so normal maintenance is still needed.
What pigments are used?
The Monica Ivani Signature Series by Li Pigments — a set of eyebrow shades curated by Monica Ivani, a globally recognised brow artist, for natural, true-to-tone healed results. Each pigment is pre-mixed and can be blended lighter or darker to match your exact colouring. See the pigment range →
