Permanent Cosmetics (also known as Permanent Make-up, Semi Permanent Make-up, Micro pigmentation and Cosmetic Tattooing) allow women of all ages, and a growing number of men, to enhance and define their natural features, creating a beautiful finish that will compliment or even replace the use of conventional make-up.

In its simplest form, natural coloured pigments are introduced into the dermal layer of the skin using tiny micro-needles to create colour, balance and symmetry.  When professionally applied by a highly skilled Practitioner, this can create amazing results to enhance the eyes, brows and lips alongside offering a number of medical solutions.

 

Because your colouring is unique, colours are blended to harmonise as closely as possible with your natural looks, whatever your skin colour or ethnic origin.

 

The Colonnade Spa selects only the best and most highly

 experienced Practitioners.

 

It’s all about You!  

Permanent make up can make a positive difference in the way you look. 

 

 

 

Eyeliner - for Sparkling Eyes

Who hasn’t struggled to get eyeliner looking catwalk model perfect? Applying your own eyeliner is extremely difficult, but when eyes have been professionally lined they can look amazing.  The eyes are your strongest defining facial feature and demonstrate passion, love, laughter, surprise, attraction.  

Eyeliner defines your lashes, creating the illusion of thicker, fuller lashes to define the perfect almond eye - while emphasizing the colour and beauty of your eyes.

Advanced Paramedical Procedures :

Areola Restoration or Nipple Tattooing

Paramedical procedures include Areola Restoration or Nipple Tattooing, Scar camouflage or Scar Correction, Vitiligo (a condition lacking pigment in the skin), Cleft-lip, Alopecia (a condition which causes complete or partial hair loss which can be temporary or permanent).   The list is endless and these are just a few conditions where Paramedical procedures can be of great benefit.
Many women who have endured the terrible ordeal of suffering with breast cancer leading to mastectomy can have the final touches completed with Areola Restoration otherwise know as Nipple Tattooing.   This treatment will help boost confidence and once again allow the individual to regain their self esteem and dignity. 

 

Scar Camouflage / Scar Correction 

Camouflage and Reconstructive Care procedures can add the variance of skin-tones to damaged tissue.

There are scars that can be camouflaged by a Permanent Cosmetic procedure, particularly in areas where scar colouring is considerably lighter than the tone of the surrounding skin.  Hypertrophic scars or keloids are not suitable for this treatment.

 

Cleft Lip

A lack of symmetry or lip definition is often found in clients with a cleft lip.

Our Practitioners are able to reconstruct a new lip contour creating balance, symmetry and colour to the lips.

 

Male Treatments 

Male treatments range from Eyebrow recreation, Lash enhancement, right through to the more confidence boosting procedures such as Scar correction, Alopecia, Vitiligo............

Our Practitioners approach to a male enhancement is far more natural looking due to the fact that men don’t ordinarily wear make-up.  The results are subtle and the look still remains very masculine.

The Colonnade Spa selects only the best and most highly experienced Practitioners who are renowned for their ability to create this necessary subtlety and provide you with a natural look. 

 

Permanent Cosmetics offer outstanding results.

‘Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.’

'The power of intention, the energy that surrounds all of us.  Dyer tells us how we can train ourselves to tune into this source energy and step beyond our minds and egos.  When we do this we become what Dyer calls "Connectors" and make ourselves available to the energy of success.

Connectors are the people whom everone sees as lucky, the people who get the breaks.  They don't say : 'With my luck everything will go wrong', they just know things will go well.  They trust an invisible force that will be all-providing and they just don't attract negativity to themselves.  This book is full of dynamic steps that we can all use to tap into this transformational energy.'

It's The Thought That Counts

David R. Hamilton PhD

ISBN 978-1-4019-1168-3

ISBN 1-4019-1168-4

‘The astounding evidence for the power of mind over matter.

Body and mind are intertwined.  Every thought, feeling and intention you have sends ripples throughout your body.  The results depend upon the nature of those thoughts, feelings and intentions.  They can be so powerful that they even affect your genes.  A particular gene that might produce a disease or protect you from disease, for example, can be switched on and off according to how you process the daily experiences of your life.  The implications of this are enormous.  Every function of the human body is susceptible to thoughts and feelings.

The entire body is actually hardwired to feel every emotion.  And as it does so, our emotional challenges frequently show up as physical symptoms.  Although there are many different causes of cancer, for instance, one factor that seems to have an influence is the suppression of negative emotion.  It has been shown that cancer generally progresses fastest in people who hold in deep emotional pain which has often built up over many years.  The great news is that releasing the pain can halt and even reverse the cancer.'
