Precautionary Instructions For Your PMU Treatment
At IZZI Beauty, we strive to make your Powder Brows treatment as comfortable as possible. Although our techniques and method keep pain to a minimum, there are certainly also simple preparations you can make yourself to make the experience even more pleasant.
1. Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of the treatment:
Caffeine and alcohol can stimulate blood circulation and make your skin more sensitive. Avoiding these substances helps to make the treatment more comfortable and also promotes a smooth recovery.
Retinoids, exfoliants and other aggressive skincare products can make your skin thinner and more sensitive. Stop using these products at least one week before the treatment to prevent irritation.
3. Schedule your treatment outside your menstrual period:
During your period, your pain threshold may be lower and your skin may react more sensitively. If possible, schedule your appointment outside this period for a more pleasant experience.
Well-hydrated skin can make the treatment more pleasant. Make sure you drink enough water in the days before your appointment. This also promotes the recovery process after the treatment.
2. Temporarily stop using products that sensitise the skin:

Frequently asked questions
What can you expect after the treatment?
After the treatment, your skin may be slightly sensitive or have a tingling feeling, which is normal. The healing process may involve slight itching and scab formation, which is a sign that your skin is recovering. It is therefore very important to follow our aftercare instructions to promote recovery. This also minimises any other discomforts during healing.
How do you choose the right salon for your Powder Brows?
With a semi-permanent treatment such as Powder Brows, you want to be sure that you are in good hands. A safe and professional salon makes a difference not only in quality, but also in your overall experience. At IZZI Beauty, we meet the strictest requirements, so you can enjoy a comfortable treatment and beautiful results with peace of mind. Here are the most important points to look out for when choosing a salon:
1. Experience and training
Choose a salon with experienced and well-trained PMU specialists who have completed recognised courses in permanent make-up (PMU). Ask about certifications and additional training. A good specialist keeps developing by attending masterclasses and further training in the latest techniques, such as Ombré Powder Brows. Check how many treatments the specialist has carried out. At IZZI Beauty, our experts have years of experience and have successfully carried out thousands of treatments.
2. Hygiene and safety
Hygiene is an absolute priority in semi-permanent make-up. A good salon works according to the RIVM hygiene guidelines and applies strict protocols, including: Sterile materials: Use of individually packaged, sterile needles and pigments to prevent contamination. Clean working environment: The treatment room is thoroughly cleaned after each client. Disinfection: Before the treatment, the skin is always disinfected to prevent infections. At IZZI Beauty, we work with medically approved equipment and sterile needle modules, so your safety is guaranteed.
3. GGD permit: A must-have for PMU salons
In the Netherlands, a GGD permit is legally required for salons that offer permanent make-up. This permit is only issued after an inspection by the GGD, which ensures that the hygiene and safety in the salon meet the highest standards. At IZZI Beauty, we have a valid GGD permit, so you can be sure that your treatment is carried out safely and professionally. Tip: Check whether a salon has a GGD permit via the official database. This helps you avoid unprofessional providers.
4. Quality of pigments
The pigments used during a Powder Brows treatment are crucial for safety and the result. Pay attention to the following points: REACH-compliant: Pigments that comply with the European REACH regulations are free of harmful substances such as heavy metals, PAAs and PAHs. Vegan and hypoallergenic: Make sure the pigments are safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. At IZZI Beauty, we use only high-quality, REACH-compliant pigments that are carefully matched to your skin type and wishes.
5. Client reviews and results
Google Reviews and Trustpilot: Choose a salon with consistent five-star reviews and positive feedback. Before and after photos: Ask for examples of previous treatments to assess the results. With more than 350+ five-star reviews on Google and Trustpilot, we at IZZI Beauty are proud of the satisfaction of our clients. Our results speak for themselves!
6. Personal approach and advice
A good salon takes the time to understand your wishes and advise you on what best suits your face shape and style. At IZZI Beauty, you always get a personal consultation, in which we analyse your skin type and determine your perfect eyebrow look together.
