Bring Questions
Following these pre-care instructions helps minimize bleeding, improve pigment retention, and support beautiful, long-lasting healed results.
-
Immediately after the procedure, the treated area may appear darker and more intense. This will soften as the skin heals over the next 7-10 days. Slight swelling or redness is normal and will subside within a few hours. It's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided to ensure proper healing.
-
Aftercare is critical for optimal results. Follow these guidelines:
Keep the area clean and dry.
Avoid heavy sweating, swimming, and direct sunlight for at least 7-10 days.
Do not pick or scratch the treated area as it heals.
Apply the recommended ointments to keep the skin moisturized.
-
Permanent makeup is called "permanent" because the pigment is tattooed into the skin and is designed to last. While the color may fade, the pigment remains in the skin. Removal is possible, but since the pigment is placed beneath the dermal layer, it is meant to be long-lasting.
-
We use sterile equipment and high-quality pigments primarily organic-based formulations. "organic" in PMU does not mean natural, plant-based, or chemical-free, it refers to the chemistry of the colorants (carbon-based compounds).
-
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals: hormonal changes and infection risk make procedures inadvisable.
Those with active skin infections, rashes, eczema, or open wounds at the treatment site.
People with uncontrolled diabetes or poor wound-healing conditions.
Individuals on blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin, certain antiplatelets) or with bleeding disorders—consult a physician first.
Those receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or with weakened immune systems.
Anyone with a history of severe keloids or abnormal scarring.
People with active cold sores/HSV near the treatment area—antiviral prophylaxis may be required before proceeding.
Individuals with recent Botox or filler in the same area (follow provider-specific waiting periods).
Anyone with known allergies to pigments, topical anesthetics, or tattoo inks—perform a patch test if uncertain.
People with unrealistic expectations or who cannot commit to potential touch-ups and aftercare.
If you fall into any of these categories, consult your physician and us.
