The concept of semi permanent makeup though fairly new is growing in popularity and it is therefore important to understand how every stage works, in particular before the treatment. Remember it is not like running to the salon on the way back from grocery shopping to get your eyebrows threaded, treatment involves a 2-3 year commitment. Although you might be itching to get a headstart, it is in your best interests to take your time with this before settling on a decision. Here are a few tips to help guide your way.
TIMING
The benefits of semi permanent makeup can be truly seen when you leave enough time before and after for it to settle down. Just because you discover it two weeks before your wedding or a party, you cannot simply waltz into the salon and demand that you get it done. There is a strict procedure to follow which is only protecting you unless you want to look like a new-age Frankenstein. So you need to compromise. Maybe you let it go for your wedding, but once you are settled into your new home take some time to get it done leaving plenty of time to heal afterwards of course. The key is not to rush through it.
CONSULTATION
It is very much similar to when you consult a doctor or dentist for a bigger procedure to follow. You would go in for a consultation beforehand so you get a comprehensive overview on what to expect. This first consultation is crucial for semi permanent makeup since you can also get an insight into your eligibility especially if you have any allergies or are currently under medication. This can help avoid a heap of potential problems all around. Make sure you ask all the questions you need to. If it helps, research before your consultation and jot down points you need to clarify.
PROTECTION
In particular, sun-protection. You will anyway be advised to steer clear of strenuous activities since sweat and dust are the worst things for you post-treatment, however you will also need to get your hats and sunscreen out and have them ready since you should not be running about looking for them after your appointment. Semi permanent makeup needs time to heal and sun exposure is the worst. Furthermore, you also need your painkillers and ointments to help assist faster healing. Stock up on the protection well in advance.
Remember that just because it may have worked out fine for someone, it does not mean that you will emerge unscathed. After all every person is different and the outcome can be subjective as a result. Which is why, consultation is again stressed upon. If you have any prescriptions for medications, bring them along with you. If you are still unsure, you can also speak with your doctor to be on the safe side. After all, yes beauty is great but your health comes first and it cannot be compromised. You can also do some extra research on the side.
