What is PMU?
Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, is a cosmetic technique that involves the application of pigment to enhance the natural features of the face. It is a form of tattooing that involves the use of a needle to deposit pigment into the skin, creating a long-lasting effect. The most common areas for permanent makeup application are the eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. Some people also choose to have permanent makeup applied to their areolas or to camouflage scars. The procedure can take several hours to complete, and there may be some discomfort and swelling afterward. The pigment will fade over time, but permanent makeup typically lasts several years before needing to be touched up.

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure the longevity and healing of permanent makeup. Avoiding excessive sun exposure, swimming, saunas, and harsh chemicals during the healing process is crucial. Following the technician's instructions regarding cleaning, moisturizing, and protecting the treated area is also important. Regular touch-ups and adherence to a skincare routine can help maintain the desired results.

While the term "permanent" is used, the pigments used in permanent makeup can fade over time. However, complete removal can be challenging, and the results may vary. Techniques such as laser tattoo removal or saline tattoo removal can be used to lighten or remove unwanted permanent makeup. It is advisable to consult with a professional to discuss the available options for modification or removal.
