FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Permanent Makeup (PMU)?
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique akin to tattooing, designed to enhance facial features such as eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner. Using micropigmentation or microblading, pigments are carefully applied to the skin, achieving a look that can last several years.
Is Permanent Makeup Safe?
Yes, when performed by certified professionals using sterile equipment, PMU is safe. At D Atellier, we adhere to strict hygiene protocols and use high-quality pigments to ensure client safety and satisfaction.
Is the PMU Procedure Painful?
Pain thresholds vary, but we apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Most clients report feeling pressure or a scratching sensation rather than pain.
What Will I Look Like Immediately After the Procedure?
Directly after, the treated area will appear darker and more intense. This is part of the healing process and will soften in the following days to reveal the true color.
Can I Return to Work Right After the Procedure?
Most clients can return to work immediately. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous activities for at least 24 hours to ensure the treatment area remains clean and undisturbed.
Are There Activities I Should Avoid Post-Procedure?
Yes, avoid any activities that can lead to excessive sweating, such as workouts or saunas, and exposure to chlorine or direct sunlight. These can affect the healing process and pigment retention.
How Do I Know if I Need a Touch-Up?
A touch-up can be assessed 4-6 weeks post-procedure when the initial healing is complete. It’s an opportunity to refine and perfect the appearance as the color settles.
Can PMU Be Removed or Corrected?
Corrections or removals are possible but depend on individual circumstances. It's best to consult with our specialists for personalized advice.
Is It Safe to Wear Makeup After PMU?
We advise waiting until the treated area is fully healed before applying makeup, usually around 7-10 days post-procedure.
How to Prepare for My PMU Appointment?
Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol and caffeine, and come to the appointment with clean skin free of makeup in the area to be treated.
