Permanent Make-up

Micro-Pigmentation is the correct term for the use of ink introduced under the skin to produce a tattoo. When used to enhance facial features, it is also known as colour implants, permanent make-up or cosmetic tattooing.

We have been lucky to have Leila Lau perform this procedure for us in the comfort of our rooms at Vie.

Leila Lau is a qualified Medical Aesthetician from Germany and has travelled the world for the last 20 years to bring to the women of Australia the very latest in permanent beauty techniques and developments, also known as Cosmetic Tattooing.

“Permanent make-up should look natural and compliment the face. I feel it is really about accentuating our best features in a soft and subtle way. People want to wake up looking good without having to put in a lot of effort; especially women over 40, as they begin to lose definition around the eyes and mouth. The beauty I like to create is ‘permanent’ beauty, but with a natural look and I get a tremendous buzz seeing a client leave our clinic looking great,” Leila said.

There are many women who would like to look their best all of the time, but who are afraid of the finished product looking “overdone”. Before permanent makeup is applied the makeup is drawn on, so the client can see if she likes it first. Permanent makeup can be made to look as natural as the client requires.

Leila said no one was ever too old to look good and to feel great. Leila trained as a medical aesthetician in Hamburg 21 years ago and travels the world each year attending conferences and workshops to keep abreast of the very latest techniques and developments in treatments and permanent makeup technology.

Last year Leila was one of only two Australians invited to attend at the convention in Las Vegas.
Over 300 professionals attend the convention.

She also spends a great deal of time training in the very latest techniques. As an active member of the International Association for Permanent Makeup (SPCP), the Association of Professional Aestheticians of Australia (APAA), the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology and the German Association of Aestheticians, Leila is constantly in touch with new treatments and new technology all over the world.

As much of Leila’s work is based on medical advances she works very closely with leading medical practitioners. This includes working with cancer patients and those who have undergone reconstructive surgery following illness or serious accidents.

Her work includes the reconstruction of eye brows and eye liner for alopecia sufferers, areolas, for breast reconstruction patients, working with prosthesis patients and those who have scarring around the mouth or surgery on a hair lip. The results that can be achieved are quite amazing.

Leila is a full certified member of:
