Permanent Make-Up

Permanent Make-Up

Permanent Make-up (PMU), also known as microblading or cosmetic tattooing, has gained increasing popularity in recent years. It is an innovative technique in which color pigments are applied with a fine needle into the upper skin layer (epidermis). There are two main application areas for this tattooing technique:

Cosmetic Permanent Make-up aims to permanently highlight or define certain facial features, making daily makeup unnecessary. It is also a valuable option for people allergic to conventional cosmetics, visually impaired individuals, or those with motor impairments. The classic cosmetic permanent make-up treatments we offer at MFORM include:

  • Eyebrow pigmentation for fuller, symmetrical brows
  • Eyeliner pigmentation for expressive, visually enlarged eyes and thicker lashes
  • Lip contouring and shading for harmonious and voluminous lips Medical

 

Permanent Make-up goes beyond aesthetics and has a strong rehabilitative component. It helps people feel comfortable in their own skin again. Micropigmentation is specifically used to visually balance scars, skin changes, or missing hair, creating camouflaging or reconstructive effects. At MFORM, we offer various medical permanent make-up treatments:

  • Hair pigmentation to cover bald spots on the scalp, beard, or for eyebrow reconstruction due to natural or disease-related hair loss (alopecia, chemotherapy)
  • Camouflage pigmentation to cover scars, stretch marks, vitiligo, or other pigment disorders
  • Areola pigmentation for nipple reconstruction
  • Lip pigmentation after surgeries to correct cleft lip and palate or aesthetic lip augmentations to define the lip contour or correct asymmetries

 

Aesthetic and plastic surgery and permanent make-up complement each other perfectly when it comes to creating aesthetically pleasing, harmonious, and natural results.

While plastic surgery often makes structural changes to the face and body, permanent make-up can help perfect fine details and camouflage scars or missing skin pigments. Therefore, at MFORM, we also consider permanent make-up as a complementary treatment after plastic surgery, as support for aesthetic corrections, or even as an alternative to minor aesthetic procedures: For example, eyebrow permanent make-up instead of a brow lift, eyeliner permanent make-up as an alternative to eyelid surgery, or hair pigmentation instead of a hair transplant for mild hair loss.
Permanent make-up is suitable for different needs and skin types. To ensure the correct skin type and individual wishes and needs are taken into account and the best possible solution is found, a consultation and information session takes place before every treatment.

Treatment Process

A thorough and professional consultation and information session is held before each treatment. This ensures that the client has realistic expectations, the desired shape and color are individually adapted, and all questions are answered.
For a consultation without treatment with our expert Anastasiia Horbatiuk, we charge €30 (duration: approx. 20 minutes). The consultation fee will be deducted from the subsequent treatment costs if treatment follows.

Wishes and Expectations

At the beginning of the consultation, personal wishes and expectations are discussed, including questions such as:

  • Which area should be pigmented?
  • What shape and intensity are desired?
  • Should the result look natural or emphasized?
  • What does the PMU treatment cost?

Before-and-after pictures of previous treatments are used to illustrate possible results.

Skin Type Analysis

Next, the skin type is analyzed to ensure the permanent make-up perfectly matches the natural beauty. Factors like skin texture, color, and natural facial features are considered to achieve a suitable pigmentation.

Color Selection

Our expert then selects the color and shade together with the client and tests it on the skin to ensure harmony with the complexion.

Information

An important next step is information about the procedure and care. All important details about the process, healing, aftercare, durability, and touch-ups are discussed.

Medical Assessment & Consent

The last step before treatment is a medical assessment and consent. If there are pre-existing conditions, allergies, or skin issues, it will be discussed whether PMU treatment is possible. Then a consent form is signed, confirming the client has been informed about risks and care instructions.

A permanent make-up treatment follows a structured process to ensure precise, aesthetic, and long-lasting results. From numbing to sketching, pigmentation, and final check, several important steps ensure optimal results. Treatment duration varies depending on the area, usually 1.5 to 3 hours.

Numbing

To make the treatment as comfortable as possible, the relevant skin area is treated with a local anesthetic cream to reduce pain and ensure a relaxed procedure.

Sketching and Shape Check

Before pigmentation, the desired shape is drawn on the skin with a special pencil. The client receives a preview of the final result. Only after approval does the actual pigmentation begin.

Pigmentation of Desired Areas

The actual treatment starts with the application of color pigments into the upper skin layer using a fine device. Techniques vary by area:

  • Eyebrows: fine hair strokes (microblading) or soft shading (powder brows)
  • Eyelids: pigmentation along the lash line or decorative eyeliner
  • Lips: contour enhancement or full shading for defined, even lips
  • Medical PMU: hair, scar, or areola pigmentation to camouflage skin changes or bald spots
    Pigmentation is applied in several layers to ensure even color uptake.
Check and Correction

After pigmentation, the result is checked. Minor corrections are made if necessary to achieve a perfect and even result.

To support healing and ensure the best result, various behavioral and care instructions (PDF) must be observed. Some treatments include or offer follow-up treatments on request.

Aftercare and Healing

The final effect of a PMU session becomes visible about a month later, when the skin has fully healed and color intensity slightly decreases. Clients are informed about proper care and the healing process and receive a leaflet (PDF) to take home.
We recommend avoiding direct sunlight and unnecessary sweating in the first few days, for example.

Follow-up & Touch-ups

Since pigments can change or fade slightly within the first weeks, some treatments include a follow-up after 4 to 8 weeks to optimize color intensity and shape. Additional touch-ups to perfect or strengthen the effect, which are not included, are offered with a 40% discount.
Touch-ups are available for all PMU treatments done by us, with prices as follows:

  • Up to 12 months: 30% discount
  • 12–24 months: 20% discount
  • Over 24 months: full price

The durability of permanent make-up varies depending on skin type, care, and external factors. Usually, results remain visible for 2 to 5 years before a touch-up is recommended.

Our
Treatments

Eyeliner
Permanent make-up eyeliner can be classic graphic, fine, or shaded powder on the upper eyelid. Treatment takes 2–3 hours and lasts at least 2–2.5 years. Ideal for contact lens wearers to avoid eye irritation from regular pencils and powders, and appreciated by seniors with difficult-to-make-up eyelids.
Lashliner
This fine PMU technique applies pigments precisely between lashes, creating a fuller lash line and subtle eye emphasis without eyeliner. The result is natural and perfect for those wanting a discreet intensification of their gaze. Treatment takes about 1–2 hours and lasts 2–3 years.
Eyebrows
Whether fine hair strokes (microblading) or soft shading (powder brows) — the technique is chosen individually to meet needs. Sparse, irregular, or missing brows become well-shaped, full, symmetrical, and natural-looking. Treatment lasts 2–3 hours and lasts at least 2 years.
Lips
Permanent make-up can softly define lip contours, correct color irregularities, and shade the entire lip in various effects (watercolor/lipstick/3D lips). The result: fuller, even, fresh-looking lips without daily lipstick. Treatment takes about 2–3 hours and lasts up to 5 years. Ideal for those wanting permanently beautiful, defined lips with natural or intense color.
Dark Lips Correction
A special PMU technique to neutralize bluish-purple lip contours or lighten dark or uneven lips. Targeted pigmentation harmonizes and gently brightens the natural lip color. Treatment takes about 2 hours and includes a follow-up. Ideal for fresh, even lip tone!
Areola Pigmentation
Medical PMU technique for optical reconstruction or correction of the nipple, e.g., after breast surgery. Realistic color shades create a lifelike nipple for a natural look and lasting aesthetic result, enhancing well-being and confidence. Includes follow-up, treatment time 2–3 hours depending on extent.
Vitiligo Camouflage
PMU offers an effective way to visually even out white spots typical of vitiligo and other pigment disorders. Custom pigments adapt the affected skin to the natural tone, resulting in a more even complexion.
Scar Camouflage
Retouching pigmentation can color-match small scars from burns, accidents, or surgeries (e.g., facelift or eyelid lift) to surrounding skin, making makeup unnecessary and providing relief.
Stretch Marks Camouflage
Stretch marks can be visually camouflaged by pigmenting them to match the natural skin tone, making them less visible and the skin appear more even.
Lip Corrections
After cleft lip and palate corrections or aesthetic lip augmentations, PMU can visually balance asymmetrical lip contours and conceal scars. Precise pigmentation evens out natural lip shape, gently corrects color irregularities, and achieves a harmonious overall result.
Hair Pigmentation (Hair Loss)
PMU can cover thinning or bald spots and scars on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows, creating realistic hair follicle effects through fine pigments for a natural stubble look. Suitable for men and women with thin hair, bald spots, or natural/disease-related hair loss (alopecia, chemotherapy) offering a long-lasting natural solution.
Extra Follow-ups & Touch-ups
Recommended to enhance or perfect the effect, 4–8 weeks after initial treatment. Since PMU fades over time, touch-ups may be useful after 1–2 years depending on skin and lifestyle to maintain color and shape for lasting fresh results.
Work on Foreign PMU
We also offer touch-ups, enlargements, and corrections of existing PMU done elsewhere. Costs depend on condition and effort and are individually discussed after consultation.
Consultation Without Treatment
A professional consultation is the first step to optimal PMU. Individual wishes, skin type, color and shape selection, and treatment process are discussed, including durability, care, and risks. Consultation lasts about 20 minutes, costs €30, deducted from treatment if booked later. A consultation without treatment allows comprehensive information and a well-informed decision — with no obligation.
