Semi-Permanent Make Up in London
Natural, long-lasting definition for brows, lips and eyes
Semi-Permanent Make Up (SPMU) at Dr Kate Aesthetics in Cockfosters, Barnet, offers a subtle, long-lasting way to enhance your natural features. Whether you want fuller brows, a soft lip blush, or delicate lash definition, our bespoke treatments are designed to simplify your routine and boost confidence. All treatments are carried out by Gemma, a VTCT Level 4 accredited practitioner with over 12 years’ experience working in the beauty and aesthetic industry, trained by the world-famous Tracie Giles, including the Gloss & Go™ lip blush technique. Using specialised pigments and techniques designed specifically for the face, SPMU delivers natural, refined results that fade gradually, allowing your look to evolve with you.
Before & Afters
Popular SPMU Treatments Include:
Lip Blush including Gloss & Go™
A soft wash of colour to enhance natural lip tone, improve symmetry and create the illusion of fullness. Ideal for pale lips, uneven borders or those wanting a low-maintenance finish. Gloss & Go™ delivers a fresh, healthy look without heavy lipstick effect.
Eyebrows
Choose from hair stroke brows for realistic definition, powder brows for soft shading, or ombré brows for a gradient finish. Perfect for sparse, over-plucked, or thinning brows.
Eyeliner
Lash enhancement creates subtle depth along the lash line, making lashes appear thicker. Classic eyeliner offers more visible definition while still maintaining a natural look.
Beauty Spots
A carefully placed beauty spot can enhance facial balance and add subtle character.
SPMU Removal & Correction
If you have existing semi-permanent make up that has faded, changed colour, migrated, or no longer suits your desired look, Gemma offers Hanafy Saline and Chemical Removal treatments to safely lighten or remove unwanted pigment from brows, lips and eyeliner. Often recommended before correction work or a new PMU treatment, these treatments can help address over-saturated pigment, colour changes, pigment migration and uneven results. Following a consultation, we’ll assess your existing PMU and create a personalised treatment plan based on your goals. Multiple sessions may be required depending on the pigment and treatment area.
