What is Semi-Permanent Makeup (SPMU)?​

​

Semi-Permanent Makeup, also known as micropigmentation, involves implanting pigment into the upper dermal layer of the skin using specialised devices. This cosmetic tattooing technique enhances facial features such as:

• Eyebrows – create fuller, defined brows with hair-stroke or powder techniques

• Eyeliner – subtle lash enhancements or defined liner

• Lips – restore shape, symmetry, and natural lip colour

​

SPMU is a safe, long-lasting solution for those who want to look their best at all times – without the need for daily makeup application.

​

A blend of hairstroke and powder techniques for a natural yet defined brow.

 

Eyeliner

Fine pigment through the lash line to enhance eye definition without obvious makeup.

Is SPMU Right for Me?

​

Client Concerns Addressed

Is SPMU the same as tattooing?

Not quite. While both involve implanting pigment into the skin, SPMU uses shallower needle penetration, different pigment types, and a more refined technique for natural, semi-permanent results.

​

Does the treatment hurt?

Most clients report minimal discomfort. We use topical numbing cream to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Some sensitivity may be experienced, especially in the lip or eye area.

​

How long does it last?

Results last 12–36 months depending on skin type, lifestyle, and area treated. Colour boosts are recommended every 12–18 months to maintain vibrancy and definition.

​

Will it look natural?

Absolutely. At Ultra Aesthetics, we specialise in natural enhancement – not harsh or obvious tattoos. Your treatment will be tailored to your face, features, and desired result.

​

What to Expect – The Process

1. Consultation & Design
   We discuss your goals, review shape and colour options, and map out a custom design.

2. Numbing & Pigment Application
   After applying topical anaesthetic, we use specialist equipment to implant the pigment.

3. Healing & Top-Up
   Initial healing occurs within 7–10 days. A top-up session at 6–8 weeks perfects the result.

 

Aftercare for SPMU

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure beautiful, long-lasting results:

• Do not get the area wet for the first 7–10 days (including steam and saunas)

• Avoid makeup on the treated area until fully healed

• Do not pick, scratch or rub any scabs or flaking skin

• Use only recommended healing balm provided by your practitioner

• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds during healing

• Avoid facials, peels, or exfoliating treatments on the area for 4 weeks

• Avoid swimming, hot tubs, and intense exercise for 7 days

 

Healing Timeline:

• Days 1–3: Colour may appear darker than expected

• Days 4–7: Peeling and flaking is common

• Weeks 2–4: Colour settles and softens

• 6–8 Weeks: Top-up appointment to finalise results
