The PMU Guide
From pre-treatment prep to healing and aftercare, CYAN's semi-permanent makeup knowledge, gathered in one place.
First Visit Guide: From Arrival to Return
You've gone so far as to book a flight to get PMU in Korea โ but you're worried, right? "Will I be understood when I arrive, is it okay to fly home right after?" The route is exactly what people coming from far away ask about most in consultations. So let me walk through in advance how it flows, from arrival to your flight home and even after you're back home. After reading, you'll feel a lot lighter, like "ah, so this is how it goes."
AftercareAftercare Guide: Stay Connected with CYAN via LINE
The procedure's done, but the color looks too dark, or the scab is starting to come off and you're afraid the color will go with it โ many of you lie awake at the mirror at night. It's even more so once you're back home, with no one nearby to ask. So let me lay it out โ whether what's happening now, day by day, is normal, and how you stay connected with CYAN over LINE even from far away. Don't suffer alone.
What Is PMU?What Is Semi-Permanent Makeup (PMU)? โ How It Differs from Tattooing, and Why It Helps
The first thing people ask in a consultation is "how is this different from a tattoo?" If PMU is new to you, it can feel vague and a little scary โ won't it never come off, what if it ends up looking odd? So let me walk you through, gently and at a first-timer's level, not the procedure but "how we design an impression."
Before Your ProcedurePlease Review Before Your Procedure โ A Gentle Pre-Care Guide for Your Safety
Let me lightly go over the things you should be sure to tell us before the procedure. It's not to scare you โ it's to find the safest, prettiest timing together. Even if some of these apply to you, most can be handled by adjusting the timing or having a quick word with your doctor, and you'll still be able to get the procedure.
Healing & Red FlagsYou Are Not Alone in Healing โ Understanding Normal Recovery and the โWarning Signsโ
After the procedure, when you get home, there'll be moments at the mirror where your heart sinks โ "is this normal?" The color suddenly darkens, a scab forms, and some days it looks too faint. So let me lay out in one place โ the talk I always give in the consultation room โ what is natural healing and what is a sign to see a doctor. Even after you return home, you don't have to judge alone.
Brow TechniquesWhy Brow Results Differ from Person to Person โ How to Read the Difference Between Techniques
"My friend got combo โ can I just do that too?" I really hear this a lot in consultations. But honestly, the same technique settles differently on your skin. Before memorizing powder, hair stroke, combo, let's work out "what suits my skin" together first.
Skin Type & RetentionSkin Type and Colour Retention โ Why Results and Longevity Differ from Person to Person
"My friend did it in the same color but why do I look dull?" I hear this worry so often in the consultation room. Even with the same pigment and the same artist, the result differs from person to person. Skin thickness and oiliness, and the underlying base tone (undertone) beneath the skin, change how color is chosen, settles, and how long it lasts. Let me explain, in plain skin terms, why CYAN designs anew for each person.
Removal & Cover-upDonโt Just Cover Faded or Faulty Semi-Permanent Makeup โ Understanding Removal and Cover-Up
Brows turned red, blue, or grey, or an old mark from another studioโฆ it hurts to see in the mirror. But here's the thing โ simply covering it with new color won't make it clean. Each color has its own character. Red is relatively easy to hide, but grey and blue casts are genuinely tricky, and covering isn't always the answer โ sometimes lightening with laser first is better. Let me honestly walk through, as I always do in the consultation room, why CYAN reads the color before covering, why discoloration happens, and how complementary correction differs from removal.
