What is a key factor in preventing hyperpigmentation in PMU clients?

In the context of preventing hyperpigmentation in clients who receive permanent makeup, the focus on proper aftercare and sun protection is crucial. After the procedure, the skin is particularly vulnerable and requires specific care to ensure optimal healing. Following aftercare instructions helps to minimize trauma to the skin, which can otherwise lead to an inflammatory response and potential hyperpigmentation.

Additionally, sun protection is vital because ultraviolet (UV) exposure can exacerbate any pigmentation issues. Clients are advised to use sunscreen and limit sun exposure to the treated areas, as this can significantly reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation developing.

Emphasizing proper aftercare and sun protection ensures that the skin heals effectively and reduces the likelihood of excessive pigmentation change, leading to more satisfactory results for the client.
