What is the expected longevity of PMU results?

The expected longevity of permanent makeup (PMU) results is typically 1 to 3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. This timeframe is well-established in the PMU field and reflects the semi-permanent nature of the pigments used.

Various elements can influence how long the results last. For instance, individuals with oily skin may experience faster fading of the pigments due to increased oil production, which can affect how the pigments bond with the skin. On the other hand, those with dry skin may retain the color for a longer duration. Additionally, factors like sun exposure, skincare products, and lifestyle habits can significantly impact the longevity of PMU results.

Understanding this timeframe is important for both practitioners and clients, as it informs clients about the necessity of touch-ups and helps manage their expectations about the durability of their PMU.
