Is Semi Permanent Eyeliner a Tattoo?
The techniques appear to be similar, but they are two different treatments entirely. It also doesn’t help that Permanent Eyeliner, Semi Permanent Eyeliner are all referred to as ‘tattoo’. Here are the main differences:
Machine Needle Depth
The machine used for semi permanent/permanent eyeliner works at the ‘rejuvinating’ are of the skin, the epidermis. As the skin naturally rejuvenates, the eyeliner fades and requires a touch up.
A permanent tattoo machine uses a longer needle to work at a greater depth in the skin. Depositing the ink so deep gives the tattoo its permanency.
The Ink Used
Tattoo artists deposit their ink much deeper than semi permanent makeup artists. The ink used for semi permanent work is cosmetic and has less of a metal to them. It is also the metal component that makes the ink permanently adhere.
How Long Does Semi Permanent Eyeliner Last?
Semi Permanent Eyeliner can last up to two to three years. You’ll need to consider top up treatments after two years. However, this is down to the individual’s health, lifestyle and aftercare.
How Much Does the Treatment Cost?
Clearly this varies depending upon where you are based and whether or not you have the liner applied to upper lid, lower lid or both. Average prices in the Greater number area start from £280 to £380. It is important to know that Lash Enhancement involves implanting pigment in between the lashes to make them appear fuller and is cheaper than the full eyeliner procedure.the
