PMU (Permanent Makeup) typically lasts between 1 to 5 years, depending on several factors:

🕒 Longevity by Procedure

• Microblading: 12–24 months
• Powder/Ombre Brows: 2–3 years
• Lip Blush: 2–5 years
• Permanent Eyeliner: 3–5 years

🔑 Factors That Affect PMU Longevity

• Skin Type: Oily skin tends to fade PMU faster than dry or normal skin.
• Pigment Type: Lighter pigments (e.g., lip blush) fade quicker than darker ones (e.g., eyeliner).
• Aftercare: Proper healing and avoiding sun exposure help PMU last longer.
• Lifestyle: Frequent sun exposure, skincare acids (like retinol), and exfoliation can speed up fading.
• Touch-ups: A refresh session every 12–24 months helps maintain color and shape.

Yes, PMU (Permanent Makeup) is generally safe when performed by a licensed and experienced professional using proper hygiene and high-quality pigments. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks to consider.

✅ Why PMU is Safe

• Sterile Equipment: Reputable artists use disposable needles and follow strict sanitation protocols.
• Hypoallergenic Pigments: High-quality pigments are designed for cosmetic tattooing and rarely cause allergic reactions.
• Regulated Procedures: Professionals follow health guidelines to minimize risks.

⚠️ Potential Risks

• Infections: If aftercare is not followed properly or if the procedure is done in an unsanitary environment.
• Allergic Reactions: Rare, but patch tests are recommended for sensitive individuals.
• Uneven Fading or Discoloration: Can happen if the skin doesn’t retain pigment well.
• Scarring: Uncommon, but possible if done improperly or if aftercare is neglected.

🔥 How to Ensure a Safe PMU Experience

• Choose a licensed, well-reviewed artist.
• Check their portfolio and healed work.
• Follow proper aftercare instructions.
• Get a patch test if you have allergies or sensitive skin.
