SMPU journey 🩷
From old, saturated PMU… to a fresh, fluffy set of beautiful brows 🌱
This transformation was a process… and one that required patience, this journey was 8months but soooo worth it for the outcome!
Over time, repeated pigment implantation can leave behind warm undertones as existing pigment fades, saturates and becomes blurred.
So rather than simply trying to add more pigment on top, which isn’t always successful when there is already a high level of saturation and limited space for new pigment, we took a step back.
✨ 3 x removal sessions with Erase that Ink - Laser Tattoo & Hair Removal Devon
✨ Time allowed for the skin to heal, ensuring it was safe to carry out new SMPU
✨ A fresh new brow shape created
✨ 1st stage SMPU treatment
✨ 6 weeks healing
✨ 2nd stage SMPU to redefine and refine the hairstrokes needed for the touch-up
The goal was to create as much of a fresh canvas as possible, bring the bulb areas back in and create a brow that worked beautifully with her natural hair colour.
And look at the final result… 🥹
Natural. Fluffy. Crisp. Balanced.
We were both absolutely thrilled with the outcome.
And a little honesty from me… 🩷
This was actually my original work from almost 9years ago. Even as PMU artists, our own work can sometimes need attention further down the line. Pigments evolve, skin heals and changes, and techniques develop. What looked beautiful when it was originally created can look very different years later.
Every single PMU artist will experience this. It’s part of working with permanent makeup and part of the journey which we should all be informed of at the beginning.
For me, it’s about being honest about what the brows need now and having the confidence to take a step back when necessary, rather than simply adding more pigment.
This is why patience is key when working with existing PMU. Sometimes the best results come from taking your time, allowing the skin to heal and building the brows back carefully.
Brow perfection right there. ✨
If you have old PMU that you’re no longer happy with, don’t assume you have to live with it or simply cover it with more pigment. Send me a photo and we can discuss your options 🌱
