Frequently Asked Questions

(Permanent Makeup)


Who is a Good Candidate for PMU?

PMU is great for those seeking low-maintenance beauty. Best candidates include those who are:

  • Over 18 years old

  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Free from major skin conditions like psoriasis or keloid scarring

  • Not currently using Accutane or blood thinners


How Long Will the Results Last?

The results typically last between 1–3 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Occasional touch-ups every 1–2 years are recommended to maintain the desired look.

Does it Hurt?

We apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or scratching, with little to no pain.

Why Do I Need a Touch-Up Session?

A touch-up 6–8 weeks after the initial procedure is essential to perfect color, shape, and ensure even pigment retention. Touch-ups help keep your PMU looking fresh.


How Should I Care for My PMU After Treatment?

Follow specific aftercare instructions, including avoiding touching, scratching, or getting the area wet. Use the provided healing ointment, and avoid direct sunlight and heavy workouts until fully healed.

When Will I See the Final Results?

Initial results may look darker and bolder, but they will soften over the healing period. The final color settles in around 4-6 weeks, at which point a touch-up may be done if needed.

How Should I Prepare for My Appointment?

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications (if possible) for 24 hours before your appointment. Also, avoid skincare products with Retin-A or acids on the area to be treated at least a week prior.

What Pigment Brands Do You Use?

We use high-quality pigments from Brow Daddy and Permablend, trusted globally for their safety and lasting results. Brow Daddy pigments offer rich, vibrant colors that heal beautifully, while Permablend pigments are vegan, cruelty-free, and fade evenly over time. Both brands are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin, providing long-lasting results with fewer touch-ups. Their wide range of shades ensures the perfect match for your skin tone, giving you natural, true-to-tone results that you’ll love.
