Permanent makeup or PMU is the insertion of pigments into the dermis. This is done with a pen into which a needle/hygiene module is inserted. Permanent makeup resembles tattooing in technique, but the purpose is slightly different. In a subtle and very natural way, we apply pigments in the upper layer of the dermis or Stratum Basal.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to apply PMU to everyone. Therefore, it is important to indicate in advance if you have any skin conditions. Then we can tell you whether or not you can be treated.
We do not apply PMU in the following areas:
With diabetes (diabetes), PMU is not recommended in some cases because of inferior wound healing. This can cause color differences in the pigment and the result is not beautiful. However, not all patients have poor wound healing. So in most patients it is not a problem provided they follow the prescribed aftercare.

The first treatment lasts on average between 1.5 – 2 hours. The treatment consists of:
For beautiful results, a post-treatment is recommended. The pigment introduced into the skin during the first treatment loses 30 – 40% of its color after about 1 month. Therefore, it is important to come for a second time.
In some cases, the skin may not absorb well and a second treatment may also be necessary. In exceptional cases, a third treatment may be necessary.
Permanent makeup lasts about 1.5 – 2 years. Over time, the PMU will fade. A touch up is then advised. Check the permanent make up price page for more information.
After treatment you will receive information about the aftercare. It contains advice on how best to care for your eyebrows but also what not to do after treatment. It is especially important to carefully carry out the instructions you receive after treatment.
The treatment is not completely painless for everyone. Often the sensation of epilating is perceived as more painful. If it does become painful, the skin can be numbed. Often it is not necessary.
Do not get a tattoo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Not all risks surrounding tattooing for pregnant women are known. Additionally, should you get an infection as a result of the tattoo, you should not take certain anti-infection medications because of the risk to your (unborn) child.
You may be treated if you have had the botox treatment 4 weeks ago. We recommend taking PMU first.
Avoid sauna, tanning bed and direct sunlight for 2 – 3 weeks. We also recommend not applying makeup for 7 days after treatment.
During the treatment, a beautiful shape is given to the eyebrows. Often the hairs that do not belong to the shape are epilated or carefully shaved away. If desired, these hairs can also remain. This is always done in consultation.

With Hybrid brows, the skin and eyebrow hairs are dyed and beautifully shaped. The difference with Henna brows is that Hybrid brows remain visible on the skin much longer, 7 to 10 days. On the hairs, the result stays as long as 7 weeks. So it does not fade from the hairs but it grows out. Because in this treatment the skin is also dyed, your eyebrows look optically much fuller.
In the treatment we use a dye that resembles henna. Before we begin this we will first cleanse the skin extensively. After this we will discuss your wishes and recommend a shape that suits the face. After we have drawn a shape, we start applying the dye to the skin and hair. After dyeing, you will have the excess hairs waxed.

Permanent makeup removal may cause some degree of discomfort, but it should not necessarily be painful. There are several methods available to remove PMU, including laser removal. That method we offer.
Laser treatments use concentrated light energy to break down ink particles. This sensation is similar to the feeling of a rubber band being shot against the skin.
Although PMU removal should not be painful, each individual’s sensitivity may vary and there may be some irritation or sensitivity during or after treatment. It is also important to remember that the duration and intensity of treatment depend on several factors, including the size and color of the PMU and the depth of the ink in the skin.
Laser away permanent makeup costs €95 for one treatment. How many treatments you need depends on the pigment in the skin. Our specialist can assess this after the first session.
