Permanent makeup removalBook a consultation Information and rates PMU stands for “Permanent Makeup.” This refers to a form of cosmetic tattooing where pigments are tattooed into the skin to create a lasting makeup effect. It is often used to define eyebrows or apply permanent eyeliner. Sometimes people regret their choice of permanent makeup or feel it no longer suits them. In such cases, PMU can be removed through laser treatments. Consultation Free Removal PMU eyebrows € 125 Removal PMU eyeliner € 125 Procedure We use the Q-Switched laser to target the pigments in the ink present in the skin. The laser energy breaks the pigment into microscopic particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body via the lymphatic system. The treatment is often perceived as painful. To protect the eyes during the laser procedure, protective glasses or eyeshields are used. Number of treatments On average, 4 to 8 treatments are needed. Treatments can be performed every 6 to 8 weeks. During the treatment period, the PMU will gradually fade. The estimated number of treatments and the final results can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as depth, color, and type of ink used. Treatment guidelines The treatment cannot be performed on tanned skin (the skin must not have been exposed to UV radiation for at least 4 weeks). Sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30/50 must be applied regularly when exposed to daylight. This is required from 4 weeks before to 4 weeks after the treatment. The PMU must be at least 6 months old. If you are taking blood thinners, this must be discussed beforehand. No cold sores should be present on the day of treatment. Before and after Recovery and aftercare Recovery After the treatment, the skin may feel burning, red, and swollen. You may cool the area immediately after the procedure using an ice pack. A cooling gel is then applied to soothe the skin and prevent burns. The treated area is covered with a bandage, which can be removed the following day. Scabs and/or blisters may develop but will disappear naturally within 1–2 weeks. Aftercare If a bandage has been applied, you may remove it the next day. Treat the area with a cooling gel (use a tube for hygiene purposes). Do not use Vaseline. Keep the treated area dry for 24 hours after the treatment. Ensure the skin is completely healed before swimming, engaging in intensive exercise, or using a sauna. The skin may feel tender and itchy for a few days. If blisters or scabs form, avoid picking at them. Contact us if the skin remains extremely swollen, red, itchy, or burning after 3 days. Other treatments Upper blepharoplastyAn upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure in which excess skin above the eyelids, possibly in combination with underlying muscle and fat tissue, is removed. Lower blepharoplastyThe removal of sagging skin under the eyes, possibly combined with the partial removal and/or repositioning of underlying muscle and fat tissue, is referred to as a lower blepharoplasty. Eyebrow liftLow-set eyebrows can give you a gloomy appearance and cause a tired, pressing sensation around your eyes. This can be resolved with a brow lift. Midface liftYou can see a midface lift as an extended lower blepharoplasty. In a midface lift, in addition to addressing under-eye bags, the skin beneath the tear trough is also tightened. Ptosis correctionIf the levator muscle in the upper eyelid does not function properly, it causes a drooping eyelid. This condition is called ptosis and can be corrected with a ptosis correction, also known as levatorplasty. Lower eyelid plasmage Are you bothered by wrinkles or under-eye bags but prefer not to undergo a surgical lower eyelid correction? Then plasmage might be an option for you. Removing xanthelasmaXanthelasma are yellowish cholesterol deposits that form on or around the eyelids. The bumps are benign, but can sometimes be visually bothersome. They can be effectively removed in various ways. Removing permanent makeupSometimes people regret their choice of permanent makeup or feel it no longer suits them.
