Frequently Asked Questions

Donna ensures all her clients are completely aware of every small detail before going through with the treatment

General Questions

Brows

Will my own brow hair be removed?

In order to create the best shape some tweezing will be required. However, I never remove what is inside of the shape template created.

Should I arrive at appointment with brows penciled?

Yes you can arrive with brows how you would usually have them and bring pencil or powder colour you use for me to match but it is not essential.

Can I wax or tint brows before a treatment?

It is advised to wait at least 48 hours after a wax treatment and 7 days after a tint.

Do I need to shape my brows before appointment?

It is advisable to have brows shaped if you have extremely unshaped brows to avoid open pores during the treatment, but a small amount of shaping can be done before the treatment if necessary.

Lips

Can I bring my lipstick to colour match?

Yes. You can and I will do my best to match the colour.

Can a lip enhancement make my lips look bigger?

Clever lip contouring can give the illusion of fuller lips, which is especially welcomed with those with very thin lips. However, Cosmetic Tattooing does not create the same effect as lip filler. It is always best to have lip treatment first if you are thinking about lip filler unless the lips are extremely thin where I may advise filler first.

Will I get a cold sore from a lip treatment?

No. Lip treatments do not cause cold sores, however, if you carry the virus or if it is lying dormant the procedure can arouse a cold sore. It is advised to see your local pharmacist for treatment a week prior to treatment and a week after to minimalise an outbreak.

Will my lips swell and look crusty?

Sometimes swelling will occur but usually diminishes after a few hours. I advise to wait for a treatment if any important social events are on your calendar. During the healing process, lips can become dry so it is important to apply the aftercare balm. It is a normal healing process.

Eyes

Will my eyes water and blink during an eye treatment?

Everyone is different and some eyes will water and want to blink more than others, with good stretching techniques a precise and beautiful treatment can still be achieved.

Will my eyes be sore and swollen after a treatment?

Yes, the eyes will be slightly sore and may swell during a treatment but this usually settles within a few hours. A saline wash is performed to cool and cleanse the eyes after each treatment.

Mesotherapy

Will I look and feel sore after the treatment?

The skin can look red and inflamed after the treatment. Cooling masks can be purchased and are advised to wear up to 40 mins after a treatment. It is then very difficult to detect the meso facial. Certainly, the following day, you will see illuminated skin. There is minimal down time.

Can the meso cause bruising?

Sometimes the facial can cause minimal bruising as we are working very close to tiny blood vessels. Arnica cream will help if this occurs and should fade within a week. Concealer is also very good from 24 hours as the bruising is very minimal.

It is very painful?

I advise a topical numbing cream and minimal discomfort is described.

Aesthetics

Is Filler Permanent?

All our filler is Hyaluronic acid based. This is found naturally in our bodies and declines with age. Hyaluronic acid is used for rejuvenating, hydrating and plumping areas of the face that has declined due to the natural aging process. Hyaluronic acid will naturally break down, so it is not a permanent filler.

Hyaluronic acid is also used in the lips.

What is the best brand?

There are lots of hyaluronic acid brands to chose from. We categorise them by non premium, mid range and premium. They each have a purpose so do not be put off by a non premium brand, these are ideal if you are nervous about how it may look for example lip filler, with a non premium brand the product is thinner, and lasts a shorter time, We think this is ideal if you want to try and are happy for the product to wear off after 12 weeks. Premium filler such as jueverderm can last up to 18-24 months!

Are the results immediate?

Yes, results from filler, will be visibly seen immediately.

What are the potential side effect

There is a risk of swelling and bruising with dermal filler. This is a normal response. Full consultations will be given prior to any treatment.

Treatment Questions

Consultation

What does the treatment involve?

All Aesthetics, Pmu and Laser treatment, require a full consultation. We can do treatments alongside a consultation, but we always start with 20 minute Consultation

Can I achieve natural results?

Absolutely, all our treatments are aimed at natural aesthetics enhancements. We do love a bold red Lip blush and winged eyeliners also if this is your preferred preference.

Can anyone have Semi-Permanent Makeup?

Most people will be suitable for semi-permanent cosmetics, a full medical background is checked prior to treatments and an assessment will be made. It is fairly uncommon to be to be an unsuitable candidate for semi-permanent cosmetics. Treatment will not be carried out on pregnant or lactating women.

Is it painful?

All care is taken to ensure you are comfortable during your treatment. Numbing creams can be used and a small scratchy sensation is often described.

How long will it last?

Treatment longevity depends on the treatment you have chosen. Any aesthetic/PMU treatment will vary for each individual, depending on lifestyle, after-care, metabolic rate and procedure products. Full consultations will be given.

Generally, Facial Filler can last between 3-18 months sometimes longer depending on area.

Pmu, 12-18 months, sometimes longer depending on area. We advice a 12 month brow boost to keep fresh.

After

Can I return to work after the treatment?

Yes. All our treatments have zero downtime. However, you may wish to schedule time off for lip fillers, as bruising/swelling can occur.

Pmu requires no downtime, consultations will advice the healing process.

Can I wear makeup after?

I advise against makeup for at least 24 hours as the skin has been broken and there is a risk of infection if you apply makeup.

Can I go to the gym or swimming?

I would advise against any exercise for 24 hours so the skin can heal. Excessive sweating, chlorine, makeup all risk infection.

Can I drink alcohol after a treatment?

It is very important to abstain from alcohol for 72 hours after treatment for aesthetics and 24 hours before treatment for Pmu and aesthetics.

Before

Can I bring a family member or friend with me?

It is advised to come alone as we need to work together to achieve the desired result, it is a concentrated treatment and takes time.

Can I drink alcohol the night before?

It is advised to avoid alcohol the night before a treatment and to avoid caffeine on the day as this can affect colour retention.

What if I get nervous?

It is fine to be a little nervous, but after the consultation it is more likely you will be excited.

Can I still have treatment if I have medical history?

A medical history will be discussed during the consultation to avoid any contradictions of a treatment.

Retouch

Do I need a re-touch if I'm happy with the treatment?

All treatments need to be professionally assessed at 4-6 weeks to determine if a re-touch is needed. It is very rare to do just one treatment. Sometimes a 3rd re-touch is required! Contributing factors of this will be discussed during the consultation.

What if I miss my re-touch appointment?

If a re-touch is missed without sufficient cancellation the client will be asked to re-schedule and may possibly occur further charges as once a certain time frame reaches, the treatment has to be completely re-done!

PLEASE NOTE

All missed appointments outside 48 hrs notice will incur a missed appointment fee of £20

Will the appointment be as long?

The re-touch will be a shorter appointment if the skin has held good colour retention.

Can I still have treatment if I have medical history?

A medical history will be discussed during the consultation to avoid any contradictions of a treatment.
