Difference Between semi-permanent makeup（SPMU）And Permanent Makeup（PMU）？

Many young artists often inquire about the perceived differences between Semi-Permanent Makeup (SPMU) and Permanent Makeup (PMU). At POPU, we believe it's crucial to clarify that these two cosmetic techniques share more similarities than differences. Let's delve into why the distinction between SPMU and PMU may not be as significant as commonly thought.

Application Techniques:

The techniques used in SPMU and PMU are fundamentally similar. Both procedures involve skillfully injecting pigments into the skin using specialized tools like micro-needles or tattoo pens. The primary objective of both SPMU and PMU is to enhance facial features by introducing pigments into the dermal layer or epidermal layer of the skin. At POPU Microbeauty PMU Supplies, we provide the safest and most professional tools, ensuring the highest quality products for training institutions and young artists.

• Micro-needle Technique:

  • Utilizes tiny needles (e.g., micro-needle pens) to lightly stimulate the skin's surface, allowing pigments to permeate the epidermal layer.
  • This method is applied to areas like eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip contouring to achieve a natural makeup effect.

• Micro-blade Technique:

  • Uses small surgical blades or scalpels to create micro-incisions in the skin, followed by pigment injection into these incisions.
  • This technique is commonly used for eyebrow or hairline enhancements, creating a more dimensional and natural appearance.

• Professional Equipment:

  • Utilizes specialized permanent makeup devices, such as permanent makeup machines or electric pens, ensuring accurate and even pigment injection into the skin's dermal layer.
  • Dermal layer injection:
  • Pigments are injected into the deeper dermal layer of the skin, typically more stable and long-lasting than the epidermal layer.
  • This method requires precise technique and experience to ensure correct pigment injection and long-lasting effects.

Scope of Application:

Another area of overlap is the scope of application. Both SPMU and PMU can be used to enhance eyebrows, eyeliner, lip color, and other facial features. The versatility of these techniques allows for customizable and long-lasting makeup effects tailored to individual preferences.

Which Term to Use: SPMU or PMU?

A common misconception is that SPMU is temporary while PMU is permanent. However, the distinction in longevity is more nuanced. While pigments used in SPMU may fade over time and require periodic touch-ups to maintain vibrancy, these pigments do not necessarily disappear but remain permanently within your skin. Similarly, PMU pigments can also change over time due to factors like sun exposure and natural skin cell turnover, but they persist permanently within the skin's deeper layers. Therefore, the term "permanent" is relative. At POPU, we prefer using the term PMU to emphasize this commitment to clients, although the choice between SPMU or PMU can be based on personal preference in your work.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the perceived differences between Semi-Permanent Makeup (SPMU) and Permanent Makeup (PMU) may be exaggerated. There is no real difference between them; the most important factor is meeting the client's expectations for longevity. It's crucial to tailor treatments based on individual client needs and desired treatment outcomes.
