Permanent make up (micropigmentation)
Micropigmentation
What is a permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup (micropigmentation/ PMU) is the process of implanting pigments into your skin, just to create enhanced and natural look. Although the process is similar to tattooing, it’s not permanent and the effects begin to fade over a period of months. The most common treatments we carry are eyeliner, lips and brows.
