What is Semi Permanent Makeup (SPMU)?

It offers a long-lasting solution, eliminating the need for daily makeup application. Eyebrow Microblading, Powder Brows, Nanoblading, Nanobrows, Ombre Brows, Lip Blush, etc are all different techniques of SPMU.

How long does SPMU last?

The longevity of SPMU varies depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare, but typically lasts between 1-3 years. A touch-up may be required annually to maintain the desired look and to refresh the color.

Does the Microblading hurt?

No, Microblading or other SPMU techniques don’t hurt if they’re performed correctly by a well trained and experienced artist. There maybe slight discomfort, which is minimal as a topical anesthetic is applied during the procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a mild scratching.

How long does the procedure take?

The duration of the procedure depends on the area being treated and on the experience of the Artist. On average, each session lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours, including consultation, design, and the actual process.

What is the aftercare for SPMU?

Aftercare involves keeping the area clean, avoiding direct sunlight, and not picking at any scabs that form. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided post-procedure to ensure optimal healing and results. You can also see a step by step video of Ridhi beautifully explaining the aftercare here Aftercare Steps.

Can SPMU be customized to suit individual preferences?

Absolutely! During the consultation, we discuss your desired look, and together we design a customized plan that complements your facial features and personal style.

Who is a good candidate for SPMU?

SPMU is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their natural features or save time on daily makeup routines. It is especially beneficial for those with sparse, scanty, asymmetric, flat, droopy or no eyebrows, uneven, pale or dark lips.

Are there any side effects or risks?

Side effects are minimal and may include slight redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a couple of hours to a couple of days. Serious risks are rare when the procedure is performed by a trained professional.

How do I prepare for my SPMU appointment?

Before your appointment, avoid caffeine, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications for at least 24 – 48 hours. Also, refrain from sun exposure or any other treatments on the area to be tattooed. Specific instructions will be provided based on the area you are having treated.

Can pregnant women opt for SPMU treatments?

It is generally recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding mothers avoid getting Permanent Makeup (PMU) done. During pregnancy, the skin can be more sensitive, and there is a higher risk of infection. Additionally, the hormonal changes can affect pigment retention and healing. Since the safety of PMU pigments and anesthetics during pregnancy and breastfeeding hasn’t been fully studied, it's best to wait until after this period to undergo the procedure.

Microblading Vs. PhiBrows: What is the difference?

Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing technique that uses a handheld tool to create fine, hair-like strokes, giving the appearance of fuller, natural eyebrows. PhiBrows, however, is a specific, premium technique within the microblading industry, developed by the PhiAcademy. It adheres to strict, standardized methods and uses the Golden Ratio (1.618) to design the perfect eyebrow shape for each individual's facial features. PhiBrows artists undergo specialized training and certification to ensure precision, symmetry, and high-quality results, making it a more exclusive and refined approach to traditional microblading.

How much does SPMU cost in India?

The cost of Semi Permanent Makeup (SPMU) in India can vary widely depending on the type of procedure, the expertise of the artist, and the location of the clinic. On average:

- *Eyebrows (Microblading/Ombre/Powder Brows):* ₹15,000 to ₹40,000
- *Eyebrpws (Full Reconstruction/ Combination Brows):* ₹25,000 to ₹60,000

Luxury services, like PhiBrows microblading, may cost more due to the specialized technique and certification involved. Prices might also include one follow-up touch-up session.

What is the downtime for Lip PMU treatments?

The downtime for lip Permanent Makeup (PMU), such as lip blush or tint, typically ranges from 5 to 10 days. During this time, you may experience some swelling, redness, and dryness, which is normal. The lips will go through a healing process, including slight scabbing and color fading. Full results are usually visible after 4 to 6 weeks, once the lips have completely healed and the final color has settled. Proper aftercare during this period is crucial to ensure the best results.

What is the downtime for Eyebrow PMU treatments?

The downtime for eyebrow Permanent Makeup (PMU), including techniques like microblading or powder ombre brows, typically lasts about 7 to 14 days. During this time, you may experience some redness, slight swelling, and the formation of scabs as the skin heals. The eyebrows will initially appear darker, but the color will lighten as they heal. It's essential to follow aftercare instructions carefully to avoid infection and ensure optimal healing. Full results are usually visible after 4 to 6 weeks, once the skin has completely healed and the final color has set in.

What is the downtime for Henna Brows?

The downtime for brow henna is minimal compared to other brow treatments like PMU. There may be slight redness or irritation immediately after application, but this typically subsides within a few hours. You can resume normal activities almost immediately. The henna will develop fully within 24 to 48 hours, it is essential to refrain from getting the brows wet during this period, and the color may appear darker during this time before softening to its final shade. There's no significant recovery period, making brow henna a convenient, low-maintenance option for enhancing your eyebrows.

What is the downtime for Brow/Lash lifting?

The downtime for a lash or brow lift is very minimal. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity around the treated area immediately after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few hours. The lashes or brows will need to stay dry and free from makeup, oils, or excessive touching for the first 24 to 48 hours to ensure the best results. After this period, you can resume normal activities, and the full effect of the lift will be visible. The results can last 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth cycle.

Is oily skin a good or bad canvas for PMU treatments ?

Oily skin can be a good canvas for Permanent Makeup (PMU), but it does present some specific challenges. Oily skin can lead to faster fading of pigments and may require more frequent touch-ups to maintain the desired look. Additionally, excess oil can sometimes affect the healing process, potentially causing issues like uneven pigment retention or increased risk of infection.

To ensure the best results:

1. *Pre-Treatment Care:* Follow a good skincare routine to manage oil production and keep the skin clean and healthy before the procedure.
2. *Consultation:* Discuss your skin type with your PMU artist during the consultation so they can tailor the procedure and aftercare to suit your needs.
3. *Aftercare:* Adhere to all aftercare instructions carefully to support proper healing and pigment retention.

Overall, with proper management and expert care, individuals with oily skin can achieve excellent results with PMU.

Is result guaranteed with PMU?

While PMU treatments are designed to provide long-lasting results, color retention and the final outcome cannot always be guaranteed due to several factors:

1. *Skin Type:* Variations in skin types, such as oily, dry, or sensitive skin, can influence how well the pigment is absorbed and retained.
2. *Aftercare:* Adhering to proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and color retention. Not following aftercare instructions can affect the results.
3. *Lifestyle Factors:* Elements like sun exposure, skincare routines, and personal habits can impact pigment longevity.
4. *Pigment Quality and Technique:* The quality of pigments and the artist’s technique are crucial, but individual skin responses can vary.

It’s important to understand that while the artist employs skill and high-quality materials, some factors influencing color retention are beyond their control. If color retention is less than anticipated, it may be due to individual skin responses or aftercare rather than the artist’s expertise. Periodic touch-ups may be recommended to maintain the desired appearance.

Why we don’t perform PMU treatments on the spot?

To ensure the best results, we do not perform microblading on the spot. A prior consultation is essential to assess your skin type, discuss your desired outcomes, and customize the procedure to suit your needs. This step allows us to design the perfect brow shape and select the right pigments for your complexion.

Additionally, we may need to adjust your skincare routine before the procedure to optimize the results. Factors like skin condition and product use can impact how the pigment adheres and heals. During the consultation, we will provide guidance on any necessary changes to achieve the best possible outcome.
