Pre-Op Guidelines
Even though a dermatologist will give you a more precise pre-op plan before continuing with semi-permanent makeup in Dubai, some steps are standard for everyone. Here is a list of those common steps.
- Avoid removing hair from the treatment area at least 24 hours before the procedure.
- Do not wear contact lenses for 24 hours.
- If you have a history of cold sores or fever blisters, particularly around the mouth, ask your doctor to prescribe antiviral medication.
- Get an allergy test done if you have sensitive skin.
- Consult with your doctor before stopping any medications, including ibuprofen, aspirin, or other blood-thinning drugs, before the procedure.
- Avoid Retin A, Accutane, and retinoids at least two weeks before the procedure.
Procedure
First off, our skin doctor will apply a topical anesthetic solution to the treatment area to make it impervious to pain. Because it is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure completed over a short duration, it is performed in an outpatient setting.
Next, the aesthetician will mark the treatment areas using a cosmetic pencil. They will then inject the pigment under the top skin layer in the outlined area using a hand-held device with a very thin needle.
Treatment Areas
Here is a brief detail of the areas treatable with semi-permanent makeup Dubai-specific protocols.
Eyebrows
Semi-permanent eyebrows, also known as microblading, make your brows look full and nicely aligned. This procedure involves injecting a pigment into the empty areas of your brows to make them look more defined naturally.
The first step of this treatment is the application of a numbing solution to the treatment area. As a result, you won’t feel any pain from the injections. Next, the surgeon will inject a tiny amount of pigment into the tissues under the top skin layer. This treatment procedure is usually 30-45 minutes long.
The resulting eyebrow appearance will stay there for more than a year. You can keep this look for an even longer time with follow-up sessions.
Eyeliner
This semi-permanent makeup treatment in Dubai aims to eliminate the need to wear eyeliner every day. This technique involves injecting a pigment along the lash line to create a permanent eyeliner. With this treatment, you can achieve different eyeliner styles, depending on your preferences. For best results, you can discuss these preferences with our aesthetic surgeon.
Lip Line
This micro-pigmentation procedure helps create a more defined lip line and an overall plumper lip appearance. You can choose from a range of colors to be injected into the lip border area. However, it is best to discuss your selection with an aesthetician to get your lips the look you want. The best part of this treatment is it doesn’t use any fillers to make your lips look chubbier.
Hair Line
Hair transplantation is not the only option for a more defined hairline. Sometimes, all you need is a touch-up procedure to make your hairline look more symmetrical. And that’s where semi-permanent makeup in Dubai may help. You can discuss this procedure with our dermatologist to explore different options.
Hair Transplanted Area
You can consider scalp micro-pigmentation if you have balding areas on your scalp and want to create an illusion of fuller hair without getting a hair transplant. This treatment is particularly suitable for individuals who wish to wear a short hairstyle.
Full Face
Semi-permanent makeup for the full face is mainly a procedure to reduce dullness in your facial appearance. This treatment has a particular appeal for individuals who do not get enough time for facial makeup due to hectic life routines.
Semi-Permanent Makeup Techniques

It is a semi-permanent cosmetic technique for restoring the eyebrows. Microblading uses stacked needles to deposit pigment ink into your skin’s lower layer giving your eyebrows a fuller darker look. It also shapes your eyebrows according to your desire by depositing hair-like pigments giving you a more natural look.
This treatment lasts for 12-18 months.
Microshading
Similar to microblading except that it deposits pigments in the form of dots in empty areas of your eyebrows. The deposited tattoo-type dots give your eyebrows a powdery appearance.
Microshading lasts for 1-3 years with touch-ups required in between.
Permanent eyeliner

Scalp micropigmentation
Tired of hair loss and want to have fuller hair on your head? Scalp micro pigmentation may help you.

However, they are not hair follicles but appear like them.
The treatment can last for four years or even longer.

If you want those perfectly brushed up and shiny eyebrows then you should go for eyebrow lamination. The procedure is simple and non-invasive, using a specialized solution to set your eyebrow hair after brushing them in the desired direction. It lasts for 4-6 weeks.
Eyebrow color correction
If you think your eyebrow color has faded and needs a retouch. Eyebrow color correction is a semi-permanent procedure to give your eyebrows the color they need.
