Review: Therapolis, Limassol

Tried & Tested: Semi Permanent Makeup

Example of impressive results

Jennifer Aniston once said “There are no regrets in life – just lessons” but she obviously hadn’t overzealously attacked her eyebrows with the tweezers with her giddy teenage hand. If I have one regret it’s doing just that.

If eyes are the window to the soul then the eyebrows are the frames and there are plenty of reasons to choose the semi-permanent makeup option of having them expertly tattooed onto the skin – from chemotherapy patients who’ve sadly lost their hair to those who fell victim to the thin arches which were de rigueur in the 1980’s and 90’s. Now a bushier brow is order of the day and the semi permanent route is fast becoming the quick fix solution – added to the fact that you wake up (or emerge from the sea) with brows intact.

Therapolis, the advanced beauty solutions centre in Limassol, is the ‘go to’ option for the socialites and beauty conscious Russian contingent for semi permanent makeup. Offering lips and eye liner, in addition to eyebrows, this centre has set a new standard for a whole manner of pioneering treatments and beauty procedures.

After a reassuring consultation, your brows are numbed with a cream before the in-demand therapist, Jules, sets to work with the fine needle drawing in each individual hair forming the required shape and arch. The sensation of the needle on my face causes a strange, irritating sensation in the base of my spine but the treatment isn’t unbearable in terms of pain. Jules tells me many people feel the urge to sneeze. You’re consulted every step of the way and the whole process takes around 1.5 hours.

When finally faced with the mirror I was a little swollen and red but aside from that I was presented with the most perfect brows which are even an improvement to the previous ones I painstakingly painted on each morning with an Estee Lauder pencil! Tiny scabs form over the next few days which are calmed by a healing cream that you’re provided with and it’s advised to wear sunglasses until they fall off, and take care until the assessment 6 weeks later. After only 1 week I have brows I could only have dreamed of and I can hit the snooze button each morning as I’ve shaved 10 minutes off my daily make over routine!
