On average, your freckles last six months before you see them fade entirely away.

However, the length of time will vary depending on lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare.

Also, exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Once completely healed, always apply sunscreen (50 SPF or greater).

Note: Post-tattoo may still require additional makeup application to achieve your desired look.

We make sure the treatment is comfortable for you. Topical anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort during the procedure. While some clients may experience slight discomfort, it is generally well-tolerated

NO alcohol or caffeine for 24 hours before the treatment.
NO skincare product containing retinal, AHA, vitamins A, C and E agents for 1-2 weeks before treatment.
STOP taking fish oil tablets (if you do) the moment you schedule your eyebrow tattoo appointment, garlic and herbal teas to avoid blood thinning.
Do not tan two weeks prior or have a sunburned face.
Do not wax or thread your brows 3 days before the treatment.
Do not have any type of facial/peel 2 weeks prior to treatment.
Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products one month prior to treatment (these treatments thin the skin considerably).
Do not work out the day of the procedure (excessive oils in the skin can prevent the pigment from retaining).
Do not have anti wrinkle treatment 3 weeks prior (can affect symmetry).
Please purchase cold sore cream as the procedure can cause cold sore breakouts.
To Minimise Discomfort:
Try to get a good night's sleep before your treatment. This will help you relax and make the treatment more comfortable.
Drink lots of water- before and during the session – this allows the skin to accept the ink more easily, without thinning the blood.
On the day:
Have a good breakfast on the day of your treatment, this increases your stamina as treatments like Permanent Makeup burn a lot of calories.
Paracetamol reduces pain and helps reduce inflammation so if you're worried take two before or after your treatment.
Antihistamine helps to reduce swelling during the procedure.
Pigment stains – we use protective hair nets and cover you and all our equipment and couch in tissue and protective film but occasionally tiny droplets of pigment could splash on clothing and may stain, we recommend wearing dark tops where possible.
Due to the equipment we use and contaminated waste we don't allow children and pets in my treatment room.

Pigment Lab Permanent Makeup Studio & Academy offers a wide range of colors, only limited by your imagination. We will customize the pigment to match your skin tone. A consultation beforehand allows you to select the perfect shade.

After the procedure, the area will appear darker and swollen. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days. The color will soften as the brows heal, usually taking about 4 weeks for full healing.

Aftercare is crucial for optimal results:

• Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Avoid using any makeup removers or products that contain acids.
• For the first few days, keep the area dry and avoid getting it wet. This includes avoiding swimming, sauna, and excessive sweating.
• Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at the treated area to prevent irritation or infection.
• Apply any aftercare ointment or healing balm provided by your technician. Often, a thin layer is advised to keep the area moisturized.
• Avoid sun exposure and swimming for the first 4 weeks.
• Refrain from applying makeup to the brow area for at least 7-10 days post-procedure.
• Protect the treated area from direct sunlight. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or use a physical sunscreen once healed, as sun exposure can fade the pigments.
• Avoid exfoliating products, scrubs, or procedures (like chemical peels) in the brow area for at least 4-6 weeks post-treatment, as they can cause fading and irritation.
• Minimize strenuous activities and excessive sweating for the first week to allow the area to heal properly.
• Keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms such as excessive redness, swelling, or discharge. If you notice any signs of infection, contact your technician or a healthcare provider immediately.
• Apply cold sore cream daily for the first 7 days.
• Schedule any recommended follow-up or touch-up appointments as advised by your technician, usually 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure.

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are some risks, including infection, herpes simplex breakout

Scar camouflage uses Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) to disguise hair transplant scars by replicating natural hair follicles and blending the scar into the surrounding hair.

We treat:

• FUE dot scars
• FUT linear scars
• Trauma scars
• Surgical scalp scars

All treatments are customised for hair colour, skin tone and follicle pattern.

Yes — both can be treated. In some cases, a combination of microneedling + SMP provides the best results to smooth and camouflage the scar.

Most scars are reduced by 70–90%, becoming much less noticeable. The goal is seamless blending, not complete scar removal.

Yes — once the scalp is fully healed (usually 6 months post-transplant). A consultation is required to check readiness.

Absolutely. Many clients combine scar camouflage with:

• Full SMP hairline reconstruction
• Density enhancement
• Thinning hair treatment

This gives the most natural overall result.

Stretch Marks Camouflage is a specialised paramedical tattoo technique that uses pigment to blend stretch marks into the surrounding skin tone, making them far less visible.

Common areas include:

• Stomach
• Hips
• Thighs
• Arms
• Breasts
• Buttocks

We customise the treatment based on your skin tone and scar type.

Suitable for clients with:

• Fully healed, white or light-coloured stretch marks
• Stable skin tone
• No active scars
• No recent tanning

Clients with keloids or very fresh stretch marks may require alternative treatments.

Most areas require 1–3 sessions depending on depth, size and skin tone blending.

Yes — but only once fully healed. Stretch mark tattoo pigments will not tan, so SPF is strongly recommended for colour consistency.
