About PMU
Permanent Make-Up, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a cosmetic procedure where pigments are applied beneath the skin's surface to enhance or replicate makeup. It is commonly used to shape and color eyebrows, add infralash, and tint lips. The procedure involves using a needle to deposit color into the skin, similar to traditional tattooing, but typically uses specialized pigments designed to fade over time. Permanent Make-Up is especially popular for those who want to save time on daily makeup application, have difficulty applying makeup, or want to enhance natural features.
The Healing Process
Please keep in mind that Permanent Make-Up takes time and patience
Immediately After the Treatment
The skin may appear red, slightly swollen, and darker in color than the final result. This is because the pigments are still fresh, and the skin has yet to start the healing process.
​
The First Week
In the days following the treatment, a light scab may form on the skin. These scabs will fall off naturally. It is very important not to remove them yourself, as this could disrupt the healing process and affect pigment retention.
​
Color Variation in the First Few Weeks
During the first 6 weeks, the colors may vary. Some days, the result may appear darker or lighter; it might even seem like the pigment has disappeared. This fluctuation is normal and occurs as the skin is still regenerating.
​
Results After 6 Weeks
After about 6 weeks, the skin is fully healed, and the final result becomes visible. At this point, a follow-up treatment will take place. Every skin type heals differently, and some areas may not have retained the pigment as well as others. Don't worry; during the follow-up, we’ll perfect the current result!
​
Official Final Result
You’ve completed the follow-up, which is the second and last treatment. After this, it takes another 6 weeks for the skin to fully recover, and then you will see your official final result. If you feel that an additional touch-up is necessary, we can schedule one.
​​​​
​
It’s important to remember that we cannot treat you again before 6 weeks have passed, as the skin is still in the healing phase. We recommend being patient and allowing your skin the time it needs to heal.​
