PMU (First Time Virgin Skin)
Permanent Makeup (PMU) on virgin skin—skin that has never undergone previous tattooing or PMU—is a specialized two-step process designed to create beautiful, natural-looking results. When working with untouched skin, Theresa Baldwin, a PMU correction specialist with over 20 years of experience, uses her refined technique and artistic expertise to deliver enhancements that are subtle, symmetrical, and timeless.
The Two-Step Process: What to Expect
1. Initial Procedure:
The first session establishes the foundation of your permanent makeup, creating a natural, soft enhancement. During this appointment, Theresa carefully maps your features, considers your unique face shape, and customizes the color to complement your skin tone and hair color. Only high-quality, MRI safe pigments specifically formulated for PMU are used—never tattoo ink. The Day of the procedure your PMU will look very dark and shiny. Rest assured it will lighten and look natural as the outer layer flakes away.
2. Perfecting Session (5-8 Weeks Later):
After the initial application, a touch-up session is required to refine and perfect the results. It’s common for some pigment to fade and shrink during the healing process, which is why this follow-up appointment is essential. During this session, Theresa can enhance color saturation, adjust shape, or add more definition as needed, ensuring your PMU looks flawless and natural.
