Brow Permanent Makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, is an innovative cosmetic procedure designed to enhance natural beauty effortlessly. It consists of implanting pigments into the upper dermal layer of the skin to achieve the perfect brow shape, color, and definition. 

Brow PMU encompasses different techniques, such as microblading, manual shading and machine shading, which can be used separately or combined to create unique looks tailored individually for each face and brow preference.

PMU Key Benefits:

Wake up to beautifully groomed brows every day without the hassle of daily makeup application.

 With proper care, PMU brows can last for years, ensuring enduring beauty and saving you time and money on regular maintenance.

Each PMU brow treatment is customized to your unique facial features and preferences, ensuring a natural-looking result that complements your individual style.

– Convenience:

Say goodbye to pencils and gels! With PMU, your desired brow look is always on point, effortlessly enhancing your beauty around the clock. 

Microblading is a PMU technique that consists of creating hair-stroke patterns that mimic the natural eyebrow hair with the use of a manual disposable handheld tool.

Microblading is best suited for normal to dry skin types. 

Microshading (AKA Powder Brows/Ombre Brows) is a PMU technique used to achieve a soft, powdered look, most often with a gradient effect (starts lighter at the front of the brow and gradually darkens towards the tail), which resembles the effect of makeup filled in brows, or pixelated powder-like dots. Microshading can be performed either using a manual shading tool (mostly used in combination with microblading) or a machine shading tool (widely used both in combination with microblading and as a stand alone technique).

Microshading is suited for all skin types, and it is the best option for combination or oily skin types, as well as thinner or mature skin.

Ultimately the choice between microblading, microshading, or any combination of the two depends on your skin type, desired brow look, and personal preferences. During consultation, I will help you determine the best option for you based on your individual needs.

We start each PMU appointment with a thorough consultation, during which we assess your facial features, skin tone, and personal preferences to recommend the most flattering brow shape and PMU technique for you. 

We select the color of the pigment that matches your natural eyebrow hair to ensure the most natural color that blends flawlessly with your brow hair (**unless you choose to tint your eyebrow hair indefinitely, in which case the color is selected to match the tinted eyebrow hair color).

The intensity of the color is customized based on your personal preference and the chosen technique.   

Anyone wanting to enhance the appearance of their natural brows could benefit greatly from brow Permanent Makeup, including but not limited to:
– People suffering from alopecia or any other condition causing hair loss;
– People with sparse eyebrow hair;
– People with minor eyebrow asymmetry;
– People with an active lifestyle that find regular eyebrow makeup unsuitable with their daily activities;
– People with busy schedules that have limited time to apply regular makeup daily;
– People struggling to apply regular eyebrow makeup;
– Anyone that is unhappy with their brows, or wants to slightly change or enhance the shape of their natural brows;

To ensure best healed results, this is how you should prepare your skin for the procedure:
– Avoid picking, tweezing, waxing, and performing electrolysis one week before the procedure;
– Avoid tanning two weeks prior to the service – sunburn skin can not be worked on;
– Avoid any type of aggressive and abrasive facials 2 weeks prior to the procedure;
– Avoid working out the day of the procedure;
– Avoid getting botox (or any other injectable muscle relaxer in the face) 3 weeks prior to the procedure;
– Avoid taking Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior to the procedure (they are natural blood thinners);
– Do not tint your eyebrows 3-5 days prior to the procedure. We have to chose the pigment that matches your natural eyebrow hair, unless you plan on tinting your brows indefinitely; 
– Avoid caffeine the day of your appointment;
– Avoid alcohol and blood thinners (such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen) 24-48 hours before your treatment. 

The pain and discomfort during the PMU treatment is minimal. Topical anesthetic is applied to the area prior to starting and throughout the treatment to make you even more comfortable.

Minor swelling and redness is common after the treatment, and it should subside within a few hours or by the next day. You will be able to resume your daily engagements immediately after the treatment, however you will be presented with a detailed list of aftercare instructions that may interfere with some activities for the next 7-14 days until the brows are completely healed (that takes 10-12 days for most people). Please plan accordingly with your ability to:
– keep the brows dry during the healing;
– avoid excessive sun exposure;
– avoid activities that make you sweat excessively;
– avoid saunas and hot tubs. 

Touch-up appointments are typically recommended every 12-18 months to maintain the color and shape of the brows. This ensures long lasting results and keep your brows looking fresh and defined. 

Touch ups are sometimes needed 5 to 10 weeks after the initial session. It is common after the first session to have spots where the pigment does not retain 100%, especially if after care instructions are not followed properly, and that can be easily corrected with a touch up. 

I take a conservative approach to your first PMU treatment, so if after your first PMU appointment you want to make adjustments such as adding saturation, density, darkening the color, making adjustments to the shape, this can be addressed at your touch up appointment.

If you already have any type of eyebrow permanent makeup or tattoo, please submit a few pictures for evaluation to 253-433-9097. I will examine the shape of the brows, assess the symmetry, and the degree of fading from the previous work, and I will let you know if and how I can work with what you have. 
Picture taking tips for a more accurate evaluation:
– Make sure the pictures are clear and taken in good lighting;
– Both sides of your face should be evenly lit, achieve this by having the light source directly behind the camera.
– To increase photo definition/quality, take a fairly “close up” photo and consider having someone else take the photo for you;
– Make sure you are perfectly facing at the camera, no tilting or rotating your face; 
– Have your eyes open and look at the camera while the picture is taken;
– Make sure you are wearing no makeup.
