Semi-Permanent Makeup has become a beauty game-changer for people who want flawless brows, rosy lips, or defined scalp pigmentation without daily effort. At Eyebrow’s, Lip’s & Scalp Clinic, many clients see amazing results with this advanced cosmetic technique. However, it is equally important to understand that not everyone is a suitable candidate.
This blog focuses on who should avoid Semi-Permanent Makeup, the medical risks involved, and how to stay safe before choosing any semi permanent cosmetic makeup procedure.
Semi-Permanent Makeup is a cosmetic tattooing method where pigments are implanted into the upper layers of skin to enhance eyebrows, lips, or scalp areas. It is also commonly called semi perm makeup, semi permanent make up, or semi permanent cosmetic makeup. Results typically last between 12 to 24 months depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
