What is Cosmetic Tattooing?

Where pharmaceutical grade pigments are applied to the dermal layer of the skin. This results in a wonderful shadow of colour that looks like perfectly applied make-up, but with the added benefit of being smudge proof.
 

Is the procedure safe?

A code of practice is followed that ensures a safe treatment. Hypoallergenic pigments that meet both European and Australian medical standards are used and the treatment is performed with state-of-the-art equipment and the highest quality, single-use, sterile needles are used.
 

How is the procedure carried out?

before the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area  and as this activates we will discuss the results you wish to achieve and the colours that best suit you will be identified. I will then draw the desired shape, so you can approve the enhancement before the treatment begins. As the treatment progresses, you are shown the results that are being achieved to ensure you remain happy and relaxed throughout the procedure.
 
At the end of the treatment you will be given after care instructions to follow. A top-up treatment is scheduled for 4-6weeks later to ensure a perfect finish. This is included in the initial cost.
 

How long will it last?

Cosmetic Tattooing is Permanent, but the colour could fade within 5years depending on factors such as age,exposure to UV, skin type and colour choice. Clients who wish to maintain the colour intensity of their procedure return every 12-18months for a colour boost. If a colour boost is performed within this time, it is charged at 50% of the full initial treatment cost. This is only valid for clients that have had their treatment done through Celliki, not through another Specialist. 
 

Does it hurt?

Everybody is different so this varies from person to person. Some people feel only a scratching or tickling sensation, while others find the procedure more uncomfortable. Numbing creams are used to minimise discomfort.
 

What will i look like after the procedure?

Immediately after the procedure and for the first few days, the treated area will look 30-50% darker than the desired result and you may experience mild redness and swelling. As the treated area heals and the skin exfoliates, the look will soften and lighten. The result is a natural looking enhancement. During the healing process it is very important to follow the after care instructions, if you have any questions or concerns please don't hestitate to call.
 
Can i wear conventional make-up over my permanent cosmetics?

permanent cosmetics are designed to enhance and define your natural features, but once the treatment area has healed, you can always add conventional make-up to achieve a different look.
