Permanent makeup (often called PMU or cosmetic tattooing) is a cosmetic technique where pigment is implanted into the upper layers of the skin to enhance facial features in a long-lasting way. It’s designed to look like makeup—but softer and more natural—rather than a traditional tattoo.
What it’s commonly used for
- Eyebrows – microblading, nano brows, powder/ombre brows, combo brows
- Eyeliner – lash enhancement or classic liner
- Lips – lip blush to enhance color, shape, and symmetry
- Beauty marks or subtle contouring in some cases
Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses tiny micro-dots of pigment to recreate the look of real hair follicles while stimulating new hair growth
What SMP Does
- Creates the appearance of a fuller, thicker head of hair
- Restores a natural-looking hairline
- Camouflages thinning areas, bald spots, or scarring (including after hair transplants)
- Can give a clean buzz-cut look for men with full hair loss
How It Works
- A trained technician uses a micro-needle to place tiny pigment dots into the scalp.
- The dots mimic real follicles and blend with your natural hair color.
- Usually done in 2–3 sessions for layering and shading.
Who It’s For
- Men and women with thinning hair
- People with alopecia
- People with receding hairlines
- Anyone wanting a denser-looking scalp
- Those wanting to cover scars (FUT/FUE)
Results
- Immediate and natural-looking
- Lasts 4–6 years before a touch-up
- No downtime; minimal discomfort
