Semi-permanent make up
Enhance your natural beauty with VIDA
Semi-permanent make up is an aesthetic treatment that adds definition to the face, enhances features and gives a natural make up appearance. This reduces the need to apply make up to those areas. The treatment can be used to enhance the lips, eyebrows and eyeliner and eyelashes. Our skilled technician will assess the area and use a combination of pigments to achieve the most natural and effective results.

Benefits of semi-permanent make up include:
- Younger looking features
- Confidence boost
- Make up ready look, day and night
- Saves time and effort
- Long-lasting
What's involved?
Consultations are required with any semi-permanent make up procedure, at least 48 hours before treatment.
During the consultation, our technician will take some photos and discuss what will be achieved. Our technician will then pre draw the area giving a visual idea of what the finished look will be. This can be adapted and tweaked to achieve the best look, decided by both our technician and guest.
A variety of pigments shades will be then tested directly on the skin. This will determine skin tone and allow our technician to use their knowledge in colour theory, to select the correct pigment for the skin i.e. a warm, cool or neutral base.
If there is any pigment left behind from previous procedures such as, eyebrows that have healed with a pink or grey tone left behind, this can also be corrected. Unwanted tones can be neutralised by using modern pigments.
To create the desired look, pigment is implanted into the skin between the dermal layer and the epidermis using a fine, vibrating needle.
Local anaesthetic is applied to the area to numb and ease any discomfort. The sensation is often referred to as feeling like a scratch however, this should not be painful. If any discomfort is felt, our technician can apply more local anaesthesia.
Guests can expect to spend up to 2 hours with us during the treatment.
Results can vary from guest to guest. There are many factors that can affect the longevity of the treatment such as; lifestyle, immune system and medications. Generally, the treatment will last from 1 to 3 years and will gradually fade over time as the body naturally, breaks down the pigment and the skin renews itself.
Please note, this treatment will be performed by DahLyns, a specialist semi-permanent makeup provider working in partnership with VIDA Clinics.

Eyebrows
An eyebrow treatment can frame the face, compliment the features and create a more youthful appearance.
The shape will be determined by using a brow mapping technique. This maps out facial proportions to achieve symmetry and sculpts the most flattering shape. Our technician will also consider your own brow shape, brow bone structure and face shape to get the final shape.
Our technician will use a variety of techniques such as, hair strokes or the whipping technique to achieve a subtle, natural finish. The techniques used will depend on the look, skin texture and longevity of results.
Lip Blush
Lip blush treatment can create a more youthful appearance along with a gentle hue of fresh colour. This gives natural results, once healed.
Lip blush gives definition and the illusion of fullness, this can be an alternative or complimentary treatment to lip filler injections.
A delicate lip blush contour can replace the vermillion border (the outline of the lips). This is sometimes lost over time with age or scarring from lifestyle or cold sores.
Eyeliner / Lash enhancement
Eyes can be accentuated and defined by implanting pigment in-between the eyelashes to give the illusion of thicker, fuller lashes.
Eyeliner can accentuate the eyes, enhance the shape and can be applied to both top and bottom lids. Treatments can be natural and subtle or can be designed to give a ‘make up’ look.
