How to Prep for Permanent Makeup (PMU)
The Haute Loft Permanent Beauty Guide
At The Haute Loft, permanent makeup is approached with intention, precision, and artistry.
Whether you’re booking beauty marks or future PMU services, preparation is essential for proper healing, pigment retention, and overall results.
Why PMU Prep Matters
Permanent makeup is a skin procedure, not just a beauty service.
Proper preparation helps:
Improve pigment retention
Support smooth healing
Reduce sensitivity and bleeding
Your results don’t just depend on the appointment—they depend on how you prepare.
Avoid Alcohol, Caffeine & Blood Thinners
Avoid the following for 24 hours before your appointment:
Alcohol
Caffeine
Blood-thinning medications (if medically safe to pause—consult your doctor if unsure)
These can increase sensitivity and bleeding, which may affect pigment retention.
Keep Skin Calm & Untreated
For at least 1 week before your appointment, avoid:
Chemical peels
Retinol or strong actives
Excessive sun exposure
Healthy, calm skin holds pigment best.
Come With Clean Skin (No Makeup)
Arrive with no makeup on the treatment area.
This allows for:
Better visibility during mapping
A more precise, customized result
Avoid Working Out Before Your Appointment
Avoid workouts the day of your appointment.
Increased circulation can:
Make skin more sensitive
Affect the procedure and comfort level
Plan for Healing Time
Permanent makeup requires downtime.
After your appointment:
Avoid sweating, sun, and water exposure initially
Follow all aftercare instructions closely
Allow your skin to heal without interruption
Healing is part of the process—and where your final results truly develop.
