About Permanent Makeup

Permanent makeup uses a fine needle to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin, creating defined, lasting results for brows, lips, and eyes. At Changes Clinic, our practitioners hold VTCT qualification in semi-permanent makeup and carry out treatments to a clinical standard.

We offer: microblading (hair-stroke brows), ombre powder brows, combination brows, lip blush and full lip colour, and semi-permanent eyeliner. At your consultation, your practitioner assesses your skin type, natural feature shape, and tone preferences to design a result that suits your face. Colour matching is part of the consultation process.

The initial treatment takes between 90 minutes and two hours depending on the area. A topical anaesthetic numbs the area before and during treatment. Pigment appears darker immediately after the appointment and softens as the skin heals. A top-up appointment at four to eight weeks is included as standard, allowing your practitioner to refine colour and definition once the skin has settled.

Why Choose Changes Clinic Near Guildford

VTCT-qualified practitioners, not weekend-course technicians. Permanent makeup applied incorrectly causes lasting problems. Our practitioners hold VTCT qualification in semi-permanent procedures and work from a clinical setting. The difference in training and accountability matters when results are permanent.

CQC-registered clinic. We hold Care Quality Commission registration and operate to clinical hygiene and governance standards. Every procedure uses single-use needles and sterile equipment. That standard should be non-negotiable for any skin-penetrating treatment.

Free consultation and colour matching. Before anything is applied to your skin, you sit with your practitioner, discuss your goals, and agree a design. You see the shape and colour choice before treatment begins. Klarna is available to spread the cost over three monthly payments at 0% interest, and parking at the clinic is free.

Very happy with my consultation. I got the answers I was hoping for and I will soon be booking myself in for a quick and easy mole/sun spot removal. I now have a new understanding of what the problem is and what has caused it. Thank you.

I’ve suffered with rosacea for several years and have tried all sorts of creams, skincare routines and products, but nothing really made a lasting difference. Looking after my skin and being mindful of my diet definitely helps to keep it under control, but IPL at Changes Clinic has made the biggest difference by far. The redness in my face has reduced so much, and even when I do get a flare up, it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be because the underlying redness has improved so much. Everyone at Changes Clinic has been friendly, professional and really knowledgeable. They’ve always taken the time to answer any questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I’d happily recommend Changes Clinic to anyone who suffers from rosacea and is thinking about IPL. It’s made a huge difference to my skin and has given me so much more confidence.

It’s the first time I’ve done something like this. What a lovely place & people. Very kind, polite & efficient. Very impressed with my procedure, obviously, it hasn’t healed yet, but will definitely be back for more treatment & also considering other treatments too. Well impressed and everything was explained as the treatment was carried out, pleasantly surprised, thank you so much for taking such good care of my skin. Lee B

I had PRP Hair Treatment, with Sumayiah, she is very friendly, she takes the time to explain the procedure and really makes sure to focus on target areas. I have had 2 treatments so far and I already see a difference in my hair density and texture. She can use a gun or syringe, the syringe goes deeper and achieves better results, so its worth asking for the syringe method. I combined my PRP with Calecim serum and that gives an even greater boost. So I recomend you sign up and ask for a booking with Sumaiyah, you'll be very happy that you did..

One of the best decisions I’ve made for my skin! The treatments are effective, safe, and handled by experienced professionals. I struggled with acne for years, and after visiting this clinic, I finally see clear and healthy skin. The staff always follows up after treatments, which shows how much they care about their clients’ progress. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants real results and excellent service.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with great staff. My lazer hair removal was undertaken by two very capable proffessional young women Kelly and Surmaiyah. Both demonstrate constant care and ensure this not always comfortable experience is as pleasant as possible. The facility is immaculately clean and there is excellent visitor free parking available. I have no hesitation in recommending the clinic to others and whilst I can only comment on the treatments I have received to date I will be availing myself of some of the others services offered.

I am so glad I visited the Changes Clinic today for an upper abdominal ultrasound. I was a nervous wreck as I have a bit of a phobia of scans & Andrea was just brilliant with me. So reassuring, she went above & beyond with careful detailed descriptions, even went over some areas twice just for extra reassurance. I left smiling with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I have already recommended to a friend & highly recommend to anyone experiencing symptoms they’d like some extra peace of mind for. Was also really easy to book & communication excellent throughout. Thank you so much!!

I’ve been attending changes for facial hair removal for about 6 months now and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best and easiest experiences for me. Sumaiyah has been amazing through every step. From consultation to our current progress. She shows great professionalism, compassion, consideration -especially when I’m having a bad pain tolerance day- and is very meticulous in which the results are to show for it. Every appointment I get a little nervous and Sumaiyah has always put my nerves at ease and worked at a pace that suits me and my needs. I’m very thankful to work with her and be attending changes clinic. I would recommend their treatment. The staff are very welcoming. Adriana Verrier :) .

I had an amazing experience — very friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. She was super helpful, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly professional throughout. She made me feel completely at ease. Such a down-to-earth lady that you can feel genuinely comfortable with. Her prices are so reasonable and very affordable too. I highly recommend Andrea

Chloe was very well informed and helpful. There was probably too much information to absorb in the time span, and more published literature would be helpful (FAQs, prices, offers, medical considerations etc)

Common Questions

How far is Changes Clinic from Guildford?
Guildford to 1000 Lakeside, Cosham is around 50 to 55 minutes via the A3. Free parking is available on site, so you do not need to budget time for finding a space before your appointment.
How many sessions will I need?
Permanent makeup is completed across two appointments. The initial session does the primary work, and a top-up at four to eight weeks refines the colour and definition once the skin has fully healed. Most clients are satisfied after these two sessions, though some skin types, particularly oily or mature skin, may benefit from an additional colour boost after the first year.
Is there any downtime after permanent makeup?
The treated area will appear darker and slightly swollen immediately after the appointment. This settles over seven to fourteen days as the skin heals and the colour fades to its true tone. Some minor scabbing is normal. We advise keeping the area dry, avoiding sun exposure, and not applying makeup directly to the treated skin during the healing period.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your consultation covers your goals, face shape, skin type, and colour preferences. Your practitioner draws on a proposed shape for your approval before any pigment is used. You agree the design before treatment begins. If you are happy to proceed on the same day, your appointment continues into the treatment phase. There is no pressure to start immediately.
