What pigment base is commonly associated with allergic reactions in PMU?

The choice of organic pigments as commonly associated with allergic reactions in permanent makeup (PMU) is grounded in their chemical composition and the way they are processed. Organic pigments often contain carbon-based compounds that can elicit allergic responses in some individuals.

In the context of PMU, these pigments may include various dyes and colorants derived from organic sources, which can introduce complexities in skin reactions. The body can sometimes identify these substances as foreign, leading to sensitivities or allergic reactions. For instance, red pigments, which are often organic, have been historically noted for causing allergic responses more frequently than other types, such as synthetic or inorganic pigments.

Understanding the risk of allergic reactions with organic pigments highlights the importance of patch testing and thorough client consultations to assess any possible sensitivities before proceeding with PMU procedures. This practice not only ensures better customer safety but also enhances the overall quality of the service provided.
