WHAT EXACTLY IS PMU?

Permanent make-up, often known as PMU, is a refined cosmetic method in which pigments are delivered into the dermis using specific PMU equipment. This is accomplished using a PMU device with a needle module installed.
 

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

PMU typically lasts 1 to 1.5 years, and you can choose to have a touch-up/after-treatment. The pigment will not totally disappear but it will fade and/or discolor with time. This is primarily caused to UVA-UVB ray exposure (daylight), tanning beds, and peels.

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU NOT SHOWER AFTER A TREATMENT?

After a PMU treatment, you can simply shower, but you must keep the treated area dry for at least a week. This implies you won't be able to get your face wet.
 

IS THIS SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?

  • In some cases it is not possible. to perform a pmu treatment. We call this a contraindication. Contraindications of PMU are;

  •  If you are under 16 years old,

  • diabetes,

  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding,

  • You had botox/fillers placed <4 weeks ago,

  • You have an autoimmune disease,

  • Use of blood thinners,

  • Using the following medications: cortisone, steroids, accutane (acne treatment), retin-A, renova,

  • Skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, rashes and blisters on the area to be treated,

  • Cold sores (with PMU on the lips),

  • If you have a blood disorder, such as hemophilia,

  • A severe form of acne on the area to be treated,

  • You are currently undergoing chemotherapy (wait at least 6 months after treatment),

  • Eye disease (with PMU on the eyes).

SEMI PERMANENT MAKE -UP 
 

Say good bye to make up!

HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY SKIN AFTER A TREATMENT?

The morning following the treatment, wash the area with a mild antibacterial soap, and keep the skin dry for a few days, but do not wear plasters or bandages. Do not attempt to touch it. A healthy lifestyle stimulates healing!

 IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE PMU ON YOUR LIPS IF YOU HAVE LIP FILLERS?

PMU can be performed if your lip fillers have been placed at least 4 weeks in advance!

HOW LONG DOES THE HEALING PROCESS TAKE?

It takes approximately a week for the outward healing process to complete. During this time, the treated area is most delicate, so try to avoid contact with the facial skin as much as possible. Subcutaneous healing continues for another four weeks. You no longer have to worry about safeguarding the treated area once it has healed entirely. You are then able to do whatever you want with it.

CAN I SMOKE AFTER A LIP PMU TREATMENT?

It is not advised to smoke for the first 24 hours post treatment. After smoking, eating, or drinking, it is recommended to clean the skin with a damp cotton pad and hydrate/protect it by applying Vaseline.

CAN I GO TO THE SAUNA AFTER A PMU TREATMENT?

Unfortunately no, It is generally recommended to wait at least two to three weeks before using a sauna after getting a pmu treatment.

CAN I DRINK ALCOHOL AFTER A TREATMENT?

To ensure the best possible results and minimise the risk of complications, it is best to avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours before and after the pmu treatment.
