Abstract

Permanent make up (pmu) has become very popular the last years. The same procedure is used to cover pathological skin problems and “vanish” scars over plastic surgery areas. Complications and threats of permanent make up include skin infections, allergic reactions and scar tissue creation. Colorant fading and bad shape disappointing are the most common reasons after pmu application. Laser removal is the most common solution to these problems but it cannot guarantee adverse reactions such as color darkening and scarring.
