Permanent Makeup, like any other cosmetic treatment, is a process. Please be advised that this
process includes a consultation, an initial session (the application of the pigment), and at least
one or more touch-up sessions (second colour application) to check healed results and evaluate
colour and shape.

​

Step 1- Booking
You can book the consultation and procedure for the same day.

The first step to giving you a new look is to book a permanent makeup appointment.

​

Appointments can be made by:

 Text: 082 783 4392
 Phone: 021 911 1033
 Email: info@capemac.co.za

​

*There is no downtime, however, after the procedure the pigmented area may be red, swollen, or
scabby. It is suggested not to schedule any big events for the first week.

​

Step 2 - Consultation before Permanent Makeup
Shaping and Pigments

Our custom appointment begins with a consultation. We will explain the permanent makeup
process and answer any questions.

Your medical history will be checked to assess your suitability for the treatment. You will be
asked to fill out paperwork (consent form).

​

We will discuss your expectations and advise how permanent makeup can be used to enhance
your features. We will then design the enhancement, first drawing it on your skin with a cosmetic
pencil and measuring tools. This allows you to visualize a new look. We will discuss the colour
of pigments that will be used.

​

Step 3 - Initial Permanent Makeup Session
Topical Numbing, Machine Work
Before and during your permanent makeup procedure, we will use a topical anaesthetic cream to
numb the skin, ensuring you remain as comfortable as possible through the treatment.

​

On the day of your permanent makeup treatment, please allow 2 hours, 3 hours max (should you
book consultation together with the procedure) from start to finish.

The technician will apply the pigment into the top layers of the skin. You will feel a slight
stinging or scratching in the pigmented area.

​

Step 4 - Permanent Makeup Aftercare
Follow the instructions
You will be informed about proper care, receive instructions, and aftercare ointment. Outer
healing completes in 7-10 days.

​

Step 5 - Permanent Makeup Touch Up Session
Perfecting shape & colour boost
Please remember it is your responsibility to contact us after 4 weeks post-procedure to schedule
your Perfecting Session (touch up session).

​

Even if you have good retention after the initial procedure, it is important to have your first
touch-up to help prolong the results.

​

​

Please remember that like any cosmetic procedure this is a process. Do not expect immediate results and please be patient. It will be a few weeks before you can fully appreciate the final results.

​

*In rare occasions, some clients may need a second Touch up session. You must wait 4 weeks from your first touch-up session to determine and schedule if you will need a second touch-up session.
