Semi Permanent Makeup or Permanent Makeup?
by Candice Watson
There is some confusion about whether to choose semi-permanent makeup (SPMU) or permanent makeup (PMU) in the UAE. If done correctly, the two are basically the same procedures, with a slight name change to adhere to the local views on body tattooing and permanent tattoo procedures.
The term Permanent Makeup is widely used in the UK, Europe, and the USA. Whether it is called Semi-Permanent or Permanent, it is the process of implanting pigments into the upper dermal layer of the skin using ultra-fine needles capable of producing finer-than-hair stroke-thickness lines.
Pigments should be pharmaceutical grade, allowing the pigments to be naturally expelled by the skin over a period of 2 to 3 years. SPMU machines should be medical grade with finely tuned settings for facial use.
Using the correct pigments and machines does not always ensure quality results; the technician’s experience also plays a huge part. The ability to assess a person’s features and draw a shape to suit those features is a skill achieved over many years of practice.
The confusion in name allows technicians to use cheaper machines and chemical pigments usually associated with body tattooing. Pigments are implanted much deeper into the skin; hence, if a technician uses a much cheaper body tattoo machine with cheaper chemical pigments, the result is that the area turns blue or grey and is permanent like any other body tattoo. We have all heard horror stories of poorly done SPMU treatments with blue eyebrows in a “Spock” shape.
When deciding where to have your SPMU treatments, remember cheap is not best when applying procedures to your face that could last up to 5 years.
