EyebrowsWhat is eyebrow micropigmentation?
Micropigmentation (PMU) is a semi-permanent procedure that deposits pigment into the superficial dermal layer using a specialized machine or manual technique, to define, fill in or reconstruct the shape of the eyebrows with a natural and long-lasting finish.
EyebrowsWhat is the difference between micropigmentation and microblading?
While microblading uses manual blades to create hair-like strokes, micropigmentation typically employs a machine (or hybrid techniques) to introduce pigment and can offer powder-type finishes (ombre), combination (hair stroke + shading) or softened effect; it is also more suitable for combination/oily skin or for those seeking greater durability.
EyebrowsHow long does eyebrow micropigmentation last?
Duration varies depending on skin type, aftercare and each person's lifestyle, but generally can last between 1 and 3 years. Oily skin tends to fade the pigment faster, while dry skin usually maintains the color longer.
EyebrowsIs the eyebrow micropigmentation procedure painful?
Most people describe the sensation as mild discomfort or pressure, not intense pain. Additionally, a topical anesthetic cream is applied before and during the procedure to minimize any discomfort, making the experience more bearable.
EyebrowsWhat care should I take after eyebrow micropigmentation?
Avoid getting the area wet during the first few days, don't use makeup or chemical products on the eyebrows, don't scratch or touch the scabs, and apply the recommended healing cream. It's also important to avoid direct sun exposure, chlorinated pools, saunas and intense exercise during the first week.
EyebrowsWhen will I see the final color of my micropigmented eyebrows?
The final color is visible between 4 and 6 weeks after treatment, once the skin has completely healed and the pigment has settled. During the first few days, the color may appear darker or more intense than expected, but it will gradually lighten.
EyebrowsCan I choose the shape and color of my micropigmented eyebrows?
Yes, the shape and color are completely customized according to your facial features, skin tone and personal preferences. Before starting the procedure, a preliminary design is made so you can approve it and ensure the result will be to your liking.
EyebrowsIs eyebrow micropigmentation suitable for all skin types?
Generally, yes it's suitable for most skin types, although each skin reacts differently. Oily skin may require specific techniques (such as ombre powder) as hair-like strokes tend to blur faster. For very sensitive skin or skin prone to keloid scars, each case should be evaluated individually.
EyebrowsDo I need a touch-up after the first eyebrow micropigmentation session?
Yes, it's common to schedule a touch-up session between 4 and 8 weeks after the first appointment. This touch-up allows adjusting the color, reinforcing areas where the pigment has lightened more than expected and ensuring an optimal and long-lasting result.
EyebrowsWhat eyebrow micropigmentation techniques exist?
The most common techniques are: microblading (manual hair-like strokes), powder brows or ombre (powder or gradient effect), hair stroke (strokes made with machine) and combo brows (combination of strokes and shading). The choice depends on skin type, desired result and current state of your eyebrows.
EyebrowsCan I get eyebrow micropigmentation if I already have an old tattoo?
It depends on the condition of the existing tattoo. If it's very dark, saturated or has unwanted tones (bluish, reddish), you may first need a color correction session or partial laser removal. In some cases you can work over it if the residual pigment is light and compatible.
EyebrowsIs eyebrow micropigmentation permanent or can it be removed?
Micropigmentation is semi-permanent, not permanent, and fades over time. If you want to remove it earlier, there are methods such as specialized laser removal or pigment removal solutions, although the process may require several sessions.
EyebrowsAre there any contraindications for eyebrow micropigmentation?
Yes, it's not recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, coagulation problems, active skin infections, severe keloid scarring tendency or if you're under isotretinoin treatments (Accutane). Always consult with your doctor and the micropigmentation specialist.
EyebrowsCan I wear makeup on my eyebrows after micropigmentation?
During the healing period (approximately 2 weeks), you should not apply makeup to the area. Once the eyebrows have completely healed, you can use makeup if you want to intensify the color or fill in small areas, although many people no longer need it.
EyebrowsHow do I know which eyebrow shape suits me best?
The ideal shape depends on your bone structure, the distance between your eyes, your forehead height and your facial features in general. A qualified micropigmentation professional will study your face, take specific measurements and advise you on the design that best balances and enhances your natural beauty.
EyebrowsIs it normal for eyebrows to look very dark the first few days?
Yes, it's completely normal. Right after the procedure, the color appears between 30% and 50% darker and more intense. As the skin heals and the micro-scabs fall off, the tone gradually lightens until reaching the desired final color in about 4-6 weeks.
EyebrowsCan I exercise or sweat after eyebrow micropigmentation?
It's preferable to avoid intense exercise, saunas, steam baths and any activity that generates excessive sweating for at least 7-10 days. Sweat can affect pigment fixation and delay healing, potentially altering the final result.
EyebrowsDoes the sun affect micropigmented eyebrows?
Yes, prolonged sun exposure can accelerate pigment fading and cause the color to change tone (becoming warmer or orangish). Therefore, it's recommended to use sunscreen on the eyebrows once healed, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors or at the beach.
EyebrowsWhat are the recommendations before and after eyebrow micropigmentation?
Before treatment: avoid alcohol and caffeine 24-48 hours before, don't take blood thinners without medical consultation, avoid aggressive facial treatments 2 weeks before, and don't drastically wax your eyebrows the same day. After treatment: keep the area clean and dry for the first 24-48 hours, don't remove scabs (they must fall off naturally), avoid sun, pools and saunas for 7-14 days, and apply the aftercare recommended by the specialist.

LipsWhat is the difference between lip micropigmentation and traditional tattooing?

LipsWhat lip micropigmentation techniques exist?
The main techniques are: full lips (complete color fill), lipliner (outline only), watercolor or blurred effect (soft gradient from center outward) and ombre technique (tone transition). The choice depends on the result you're looking for and the current state of your lips.
LipsCan I choose the color of my micropigmented lips?
Yes, the color is chosen based on your skin tone, natural lip color and your preferences. You can opt for nude, pink, red or coral tones, always seeking a natural and flattering result. The professional will advise you on which shades would suit you best.
LipsDo I need a touch-up after the first lip micropigmentation session?
Yes, generally a touch-up session is scheduled between 4 and 8 weeks after the first application. This touch-up allows adjusting the color, reinforcing areas where the pigment has lightened and guaranteeing a uniform and long-lasting result.
LipsIs it normal for lips to swell after micropigmentation?
Yes, it's completely normal for lips to swell during the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. Swelling is usually mild and disappears gradually. Applying cold (without direct contact) and maintaining good hydration helps reduce swelling.
LipsWhat are the recommendations before and after lip micropigmentation?
Before treatment: avoid alcohol and blood thinners 24-48 hours before, make sure you don't have active herpes (consult preventive treatment if you're prone), and keep your lips well moisturized.
