Permanent make-up (PMU) is a form of cosmetic pigmentation in which special pigment colours are introduced with fine needles into the top layer of skin (epidermis) to permanently accentuate or balance facial features. Unlike decorative make-up, which is applied daily, PMU remains visible for months up to several years and gradually fades over time.

The longevity of permanent make-up is highly individual and depends on various factors.
Therefore, there is no fixed duration that applies to everyone. Influencing factors include:

• the pigments used

• the amount and technique of pigmentation

• your skin type

• lifestyle (sun exposure, sports, skincare products)

• metabolism and skin regeneration

• medication intake

• proper aftercare during the healing phase

• hormonal changes

How does permanent make-up change over time?

Over time, the pigments gradually lighten.
The result becomes softer, more natural, and slightly lighter. This process is completely normal and occurs gently and evenly.

A subtle residue of pigment may remain visible longer for some people – usually very soft and natural in appearance.

When should you get a touch-up?

To maintain the colour, freshness, and shape beautifully over the long term, we recommend a regular touch-up after approximately 12–18 months.

This is typically the timeframe in which most clients return in order to:

• refresh the colour intensity

• balance out natural lightening

• keep the overall result harmonious over time

A touch-up ensures that your permanent make-up always looks well-defined, fresh, and beautifully maintained.

The sensation is very individual. Most clients describe it as a fine tingling or a light scratching feeling.
We work with a gentle technique and –if needed– a numbing lidocaine cream to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

Our consultation is ideal for anyone who feels unsure or would like detailed information beforehand.
It is also helpful if you want to compare different studios or have an old PMU assessed.

Within 30 minutes, we discuss the topics that are important to you – for example:

• answering all your questions

• a pre-drawing (brows, lips, or eyeliner), if desired

• assessment of existing PMU

• possible colour selection

• an optional allergy patch test

Note

If you decide to book a treatment afterwards, the consultation fee will be credited towards your appointment. In this case, please book the “exclusive consultation” option (shorter appointment time, €50 cheaper).

If you prefer to start directly without a separate consultation, you can alternatively book the treatment “including consultation”.

The duration of the treatment depends on the area being worked on and your individual skin conditions.
In general, you should plan between 2 and 2.5 hours for a new PMU treatment.

This includes:

• a brief preliminary consultation

• shape adjustment and pre-drawing

• the actual pigmentation process

• a final aftercare discussion

A treatment consists of several carefully executed steps:

• Consultation – we discuss your wishes and determine which technique is ideal for you

• Colour and shape selection – tailored to your facial features and desired look

• Pre-drawing – so you can see the planned result before we start

• Pigmentation – the actual application of the permanent make-up

• Aftercare instructions – to ensure optimal healing

• Touch-up appointment – after 1–3 months to perfect the final result

Eyebrows

• Initial healing: 7–10 days

• Final result: after approx. 4–6 weeks

During this time, the colour gradually lightens and looks more natural day by day.

Lips

• Initial healing: 5–7 days (initial swelling and a stronger colour are normal)

• Final result: after approx. 4–6 weeks

The lips change significantly during healing:
They become lighter, may feel slightly dry, and the final colour develops gradually over several weeks.

Eyeliner / Lash Line

• Initial healing: 5–7 days

• Final result: also after approx. 4–6 weeks

Slight swelling is normal and usually subsides within 48 hours.

Eyebrows

Yes. Right after the pigmentation, the brows look like freshly applied makeup and appear slightly darker, but you are absolutely socially presentable.

Lips

After lip pigmentation, the lips may appear visibly swollen.
The swelling usually subsides within a few hours and up to a maximum of 24 hours. We recommend spending the rest of the day at home or gently cooling the lips to support the reduction of swelling.

Eyeliner / Lash Line

The eyelids may swell slightly — similar to having “cried a little.” You are generally socially presentable, but if slight swelling makes you uncomfortable, it may be best to stay home for the first day. In most cases, the swelling decreases within a few hours and typically resolves completely within 48 hours.

You can find all aftercare instructions under the menu section –> Further Information –> Pre- and Aftercare

The touch-up takes place 1.5–3 months after the initial session and is designed to perfect the final result.
Because the skin is a living organ and permanent make-up is intentionally implanted more superficially than a traditional tattoo, pigments may not hold evenly in all areas.

Factors such as:

• skin type

• metabolism

• hormonal balance

• aftercare

all influence the final outcome.
During the second session, we can correct any areas that need additional colour.

Why is the touch-up so important?

• it evens out irregularities

• it closes small gaps

• it enhances colour intensity if desired

• it allows slight adjustments to the shape

• it ensures a long-lasting, clear and harmonious result

Many clients prefer a natural, softer look for their first appointment, often out of concern that it might turn out too dark.
After the healing process, we can clearly see how your skin has absorbed the pigment and refine the result according to your wishes.

Mandatory or recommended?

The touch-up is very important and strongly recommended to achieve a beautiful, long-lasting result.
It is not legally mandatory — but 98% of clients choose to have it, as it significantly improves the final look.

REACH-compliant pigments are colour pigments that meet the strict safety and quality requirements set by the European REACH regulation.
This regulation ensures that pigments used for permanent make-up:

• are free from prohibited or harmful substances

• have been tested for skin compatibility and purity

• have a clearly traceable composition

• meet the highest European safety standards

What does this mean for you?

👉 maximum safety, tested quality, and reliable, stable colour healing.

We use only REACH-compliant pigments to guarantee a safe and high-quality result for you.

Microblading is a manual technique of permanent make-up and is considered a form of cosmetic tattooing.
Using a fine handheld tool, hair-like strokes are created by implanting pigment precisely into the upper layer of the skin (epidermis/basal layer).

The method originated in Asia and is now popular worldwide for creating very natural, fine-looking eyebrows.

Who is Microblading suitable for?

Microblading is particularly suitable for clients who:

• have normal to dry skin

• want a very natural, hair-stroke look

• wish to fill gaps or improve brow shape

• have little to no natural brow hair

• prefer a soft, subtle result

Who is Microblading not suitable for?

Microblading is not ideal if:

• the skin is very oily, large-pored, or seborrheic

• the skin is very sensitive, scarred, or significantly mature/thin

• an old permanent make-up is already present

• there are active skin conditions in the brow area (eczema, psoriasis, inflammation, etc.)

• there is a tendency for keloids

• the skin tends to reject pigment during healing

Important

Microblading is not suitable for every skin type.
During your appointment, we analyse your skin and decide together which technique—Microblading, Nanobrows, Powder Brows, or a combination—will give you the most beautiful and stable result.

Powder Brows are a machine-based permanent make-up technique that creates a soft, powdery gradient — similar to naturally applied brow powder.
The pigments are implanted gently, resulting in an even, soft, and beautifully blended finish.

Powder Brows are suitable for all skin types, especially oily, sensitive, or mature skin, as the technique is very skin-friendly. The look can be tailored from very natural to slightly more defined, depending on your preference.

Microshading ist eine manuelle oder maschinelle Technik des Permanent Make-ups, bei der feine Punkte oder weiche Schattierungen in die oberste Hautschicht eingearbeitet werden. Der Effekt erinnert an ein sanftes Augenbrauenpuder – weich, natürlich und leicht definierend.

Microshading eignet sich für nahezu alle Hauttypen, einschließlich empfindlicher oder öliger Haut.
Es kann alleine oder in Kombination mit Microblading angewendet werden, um mehr Fülle und Definition zu erzeugen.

Nanobrows are a machine-based hair-stroke technique in which ultra-fine lines are implanted into the upper layer of the skin using a highly precise device. This method is gentle and allows for extremely fine, natural-looking strokes that are less invasive than traditional microblading.

Nanobrows are suitable for a wider range of skin types, including normal, dry, sensitive, and slightly oily skin.
The result appears soft, natural, and beautifully detailed.

Please make sure to send us a photo of your existing pigmentation when booking a new appointment. Based on this, we will determine whether a new pigmentation can already be performed.

If you have not visited our studio before, please book either a new treatment (including consultation) or a consultation only.

Please send us a photo of your existing pigmentation along with the date it was done. If possible, try to find out which pigments were used. We will be happy to give you a brief consultation via WhatsApp Business or take a closer look at it during an in-studio consultation.

Yes, please book a separate consultation. During this appointment, an allergy test can be performed upon request.

Permanent make-up is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The hormonal changes during this time can affect how well the pigments are absorbed by the skin, and skin sensitivity or tolerance may be reduced.

In the unlikely event of an allergic reaction, treatment with antibiotics might be required — and because your safety always comes first, we do not perform permanent make-up during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

There are various medical, dermatological and situational contraindications for permanent make-up.
In these cases, a treatment may not be performed or only after prior medical clearance.

Below is a clear overview of the different categories:

🔴 1. Dermatological contraindications

(No pigmentation is allowed as long as these skin conditions are present)

• spots / unclear skin changes

• petechiae (pinpoint bleeding under the skin)

• bruising (hematoma)

• cysts

• hives (allergic reactions, urticaria)

• eczema / dermatitis

• ulcers

• psoriasis in the treatment area

• moles / naevi

• liver spots

• port-wine stains (naevus flammeus)

• haemangiomas

• open, irritated or inflamed skin

➡️ Areas that require dermatological clarification are never to be pigmented.

🔴 2. Medical contraindications

(No treatment is possible while these conditions are active)

• infectious diseases (bacterial, viral, feverish illnesses)

• active herpes infection (especially for lips!)

• skin rashes or acute allergic flare-ups

• blood coagulation disorders

• severely weakened immune system

• untreated epilepsy

• uncontrolled type 1 or type 2 diabetes

• tendency to keloids (excessive scar formation)

🟠 3. Medication-related contraindications

Pigmentation should not be performed, or only after medical approval, if you are taking:

• blood thinners (aspirin, Marcumar, heparin, etc.)

• isotretinoin / Roaccutane (minimum break of 6–12 months)

• long-term cortisone therapy

• chemotherapy or radiation therapy (requires medical clearance)

🔵 4. Situational / temporary contraindications

(Pigmentation is possible, but only at a later time)

• pregnancy

• breastfeeding

• recent surgical procedures in the treatment area

• severe sunburn

• fever or acute illness

• recent aesthetic treatments such as Botox or hyaluronic fillers

  • Botox: approx. 2-week interval

  • Hyaluron: approx. 4-week interval

⭐ In short:

Pigmentation cannot be performed on open, inflamed, unclear or medically compromised skin, nor if health conditions may impair the healing process.
If there is any uncertainty, we recommend obtaining brief medical clarification.
