What is the recommended healing time for PMU procedures?

The recommended healing time for permanent makeup procedures is typically around 4 to 6 weeks. This timeframe allows the skin to properly heal and for the pigment to settle. During the first few weeks, clients may experience some initial scabbing and fading, which is a normal part of the healing process.

The full healing stage ensures that any swelling subsides, that the skin recovers from potential irritation caused by the procedure, and that the color stabilizes to its final shade. By the end of this period, most clients can have a clearer idea of the final results and any necessary touch-ups can be addressed.

Choosing a timeframe that is longer or shorter could lead to complications. For example, healing too quickly might mean that the pigment hasn't set properly, affecting the final appearance. Conversely, if too much time is allowed to pass, the skin may undergo changes that can also influence the outcome of the pigmentation. Therefore, adhering to the 4 to 6 weeks healing period is crucial for achieving optimal results.
