Is There A Difference Between Permanent and Semi Permanent Make Up?
Many people who are thinking about getting some permanent make up done wonder what the difference is between this and the procedure which is referred to as semi permanent makeup. The reality is that they are both the same, its just that in the UK they use the term “semi permanent” to show that the procedure carried out is going to need touch ups in the future. You shouldn’t get any tattoo and expect it to look exactly the same after a decade as it does on the day its finished, some fading is going to occur. Having said that you need to be aware that this procedure is definitely permanent no matter what you call it as pigments always remain under the skin.
The real name for the procedure is micro pigmentation and the needle is used in both procedures and they are therefore almost exactly the same thing.
How long does permanent make up procedure last before needing a touch up?
When a cosmetic procedure require the breaking of the skin and pigment is used the effect is going to be permanent to a greater or lesser degree but the richness of the color is going to degrade over time. When a light pigment is used you can expect that you will probably need to have it touched up in a couple of years or so. The exact time will depend on how much exposure to the sun the skin gets, how often you go swimming, and how your skin reacts to the pigments. After the second or third application on the same patch of skin you can expect the color to last for life.
Most of the places where you can get a cosmetic tattoo procedure say that you can expect the pigment they use to be visible for around five years.
