Permanent Make-Up (PMU) Services

What is Microblading?

Microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattoo artistry to help insert pigment in hair-like strokes for a natural, beautiful appearance. It is the newest, increasingly popular treatment to help correct over-tweezing, plucking or correct the shape of your natural brow. Our PMU Tattoo Artists create alluring, custom plans by mapping and selecting pigment mixing to make sure that the shape and color will compliment your face.

We offer a variety of options including classic microblading, ombre or balayage brows and powder brows for a fuller look.

What is Lip Blushing?

Lip Blushing is a form of semi-permanent tattoo artistry to help accentuate the lips and naturally bring out the beauty of your lips, providing a subtle and long-lasting result.

Can I receive PMU services?

In addition to the pre-procedure guidelines, please take note that the following conditions will deem you as a non-candidate for the microblading procedure:

Liver disease: high risk of infection
Pregnancy/Nursing
Chemotherapy/Radiation
Compromised skin near area to be treated (rash, pimples, boils, infections, manifests of being reddened or inflamed)

Interested in PMU?

All microblading and lip blushing appointments with patients who wish to schedule a consultation and treatment on the same day must pay a minimum non-refundable deposit of $100. If the patient is not a candidate for PMU, the $100 deposit may be applied as a credit with Pure Cosmetics for another service.

Pre-Procedure Guidelines

Things to Remember Before Your Appointment

A microblading procedure usually requires multiple treatment sessions. For best results, clients will be required to return for at least one touch up appointment. This will take place 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure. Those with oily skin may require an additional touch up. Please be aware that color intensity will be significantly darker and sharper immediately and a few days after the initial procedure, but the color is expected to reduce by 30-50%.
Although a topical numbing cream is applied during the procedure, sensitivity or discomfort may be felt. Skin may be red and/or swollen after the procedure.
Please avoid coffee on the day of your procedure.
Please do not drink alcohol at least 24 hours prior to the procedure.
Where possible, avoid the following herbs and spices prior to your appointment: black pepper, cardamom, any member of the zingiberaceae (ginger) family, cayenne, cinnamon, garlic, horseradish and mustard.
Do not shape or wax your eyebrows before the procedure. Your technician will shape brows during procedure.
No electrolysis at least 5 days before the procedure.
No botox, AHA products, retinoids, exfoliating or resurfacing treatments (like microdermabrasion) for at least 2 weeks prior to procedures.
No chemical peel or laser treatments at least 6 weeks prior to procedure.
Patients prone to cold sores and fever blisters may request an anti-viral prior to procedure.
Please note that hormone therapies can affect pigmentation and/or cause sensitivity.
