What is one of the most important considerations during PMU application?

One of the most important considerations during the application of permanent makeup (PMU) is the skin condition of the client. The condition of the skin can significantly affect how the pigment is absorbed, the healing process, and the overall results of the procedure.

Different skin types and conditions — such as oily, dry, sensitive, or mature skin — can influence the way the PMU will hold and look over time. For example, oily skin may cause the pigment to blur or fade more quickly, while dry skin might require different pre-care and aftercare protocols to ensure the best results. Moreover, skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis can potentially lead to complications if not assessed properly prior to the application.

Addressing the client’s skin condition allows the artist to customize their approach, choose the right pigments, and predict how the results might evolve, ensuring a safer and more satisfying outcome for the client. Understanding skin conditions is fundamental in providing a professional and effective PMU service.
