Am I a candidate for PMU?
The best way to learn if you are a good candidate is to schedule a consultation. During the consultation we will discuss contraindications, side effects, styling, maintenance requirements and post care.
Are there increased risks?
Generally speaking with proper post care, there are minimal risks to permanent make up. Ultimate this technique is similar to a tattoo. The main difference is that we are adding pigment to surface layers of skin and we are not working as deep as a traditional tattoo. Some people may develop allergic reactions to the pigment. Some can be more susceptible to eye infection due to lack of proper cleanliness and not following post care procedures. If you have any medical conditions that affect hair growth please discuss with GlowXGiGi to ensure you are a good candidate without increased risk for lash damage.Add an answer here.
