What should you do if permanent make-up has gone wrong?
What to do if permanent make-up has gone wrong. Unfortunately there is always a chance this can happen to you. How can you move forward when this is the case?
Eyebrows play a crucial role in defining someone's facial expression, which is why we always say: eyebrows make your face. But what if your PMU does not turn out the way you expected? Unfortunately, it can happen that permanent make-up goes wrong and is not carried out correctly or in the way you wanted. In this blog we take a closer look at all the different solutions to see whether PMU can be corrected or removed.
1. Consult a professional PMU specialist or clinic
It is very important to approach an experienced PMU specialist and ask what he or she thinks of your particular situation. Specialists can often think along with you or share their experience.
In some cases, it may be possible to camouflage failed or incorrectly applied permanent make-up with make-up products. Concealers and eyebrow pencils can be useful for improving the shape and covering unwanted lines. Of course, it looks better if the make-up also matches your face in colour. Anything that looks too fake simply does not belong on the list of solutions.
Laser technology can be used to remove or fade permanent make-up. You do need to understand that laser treatment is a process. It takes time and money, and it often does not look particularly 'nice' during the recovery period. We work with the pico laser, which is the latest in laser technology. The laser is very powerful and breaks down pigment in specific areas.
5. Skin care and healing:
It is essential to care for the skin around the eyebrows properly and let it heal. Hydration and protection from the sun are crucial to prevent further damage. Using soothing creams can also help reduce inflammation and redness. We recommend using the Aftercare cream from Laliqa pigments. It is a healing and soothing cream for after PMU.
6. Consult a psychologist:
Failed or incorrectly applied permanent make-up can cause not only physical but also emotional stress. It can be helpful to consult a psychologist to discuss the emotional impact of the situation and develop coping strategies.
When permanent make-up for the eyebrows has been applied incorrectly, it is understandable that this brings both physical and emotional challenges. It is extremely important to be patient and to consider carefully which correction option is most suitable for your situation. Always consult professionals with experience in permanent make-up corrections and be prepared to take the necessary steps to restore the beauty of your eyebrows.

Chemical peels can help fade permanent make-up because they work on the top layer of the skin. However, this procedure must be carried out by an experienced dermatologist or beauty therapist to prevent unwanted side effects. During the healing process in the first 14 days after the failed PMU was applied, no chemical peel can be carried out on the treated area. The skin is still open and may be sensitive or react if this is done.
