How long does the whole treatment take?
A full appointment usually takes 1–3 hours. It’s not a “quick in and out” — I spend most of the time on what happens before the pigmentation itself: the conversation, the skin assessment and a precise design.
The pigmentation itself — the moment I apply pigment to the skin — is only part of the visit. Most of the time is preparation, which determines whether the result will be good.
The treatment step by step
1. Consultation
We start with a conversation. I ask about your expectations, examine the skin, check contraindications and together we choose a method — microblading, powder brows or another PMU technique. The consultation is free and can take place on the same day as the treatment or earlier.
2. Design (mapping)
I draw the brow shape or lip contour directly on your face — with a ruler, compass and pencil. I match it to your facial symmetry, proportions and your preferences. I only begin the treatment once you approve the design in the mirror. This is one of the most important stages.
3. Anaesthetic
I apply a numbing cream and wait 10–15 minutes. During the treatment I use a second, stronger anaesthetic. Most clients rate the discomfort at 2–4 on a scale of 10 — more on this in the article does microblading hurt.
4. Pigmentation
The treatment itself. With microblading I draw individual hairs with a manual blade; with the powder method I work with a PMU machine, building up a soft, filled-in colour. I work slowly and in layers, controlling depth and saturation.
5. Aftercare and touch-up
At the end I go over the aftercare and hand over a healing kit. Each area heals differently — you’ll find the full protocols in separate guides: brow healing, eyelid aftercare and lip healing after lip blush. After 4–6 weeks I recommend a touch-up — it is a separate, paid procedure.
What exactly is included in the price?
The price of a PMU treatment with me is a complete service — not a “first session” you have to top up. The price includes:
- A free consultation — skin assessment, choice of method and colour
- The design (mapping) — an individual shape drawing
- Anaesthetic — before and during the treatment
- The pigmentation itself — professional PMU pigments
- An aftercare kit — everything you need for the first days
A touch-up after 4–6 weeks is a separate, paid procedure — it is not included in the price of the first treatment. You’ll find its price in the price list (the “touch-up” column). You’ll find the full prices for all treatments on the pricing page. If you’re specifically interested in microblading, I have a separate article on how much microblading costs in Wrocław and what affects the price.
Why the touch-up is necessary — and why it’s paid separately
After healing, 20–40% of the pigment washes out. This is a natural process — the skin “pushes out” some of the pigment during healing. A touch-up after 4–6 weeks fills in these gaps and improves the symmetry and saturation of the colour.
Only after the touch-up can you see the final result — which is why I recommend it to every client. It is, however, a separate procedure, paid separately (you’ll find its prices in the price list, the “touch-up” column). When asking about the treatment price, ask straight about the touch-up cost too — so you know the full cost from the start.
How to prepare for the treatment?
- Don’t drink coffee or alcohol on the day of the treatment (they increase sensitivity and bleeding)
- Stop retinol and acids on the face 7–14 days beforehand
- Don’t take aspirin or ibuprofen 48 hours before (if possible)
- Schedule the treatment outside your period — the pain threshold is higher then
- Come well-rested and have a light meal before the appointment
- Set aside the whole day with no plans — no rushing
Frequently asked questions
How long does a permanent makeup treatment take?
A full appointment usually takes 1–3 hours, including the consultation, design, anaesthetic, pigmentation and going over the aftercare.
What's included in the price of a PMU treatment?
The price includes: a free consultation, the design (mapping), anaesthetic, the pigmentation itself and an aftercare kit. A touch-up after 4–6 weeks is a separate procedure, paid separately.
Can you see the result right after the treatment?
Right after the treatment the colour is 30–50% darker and the brows may be slightly red. Judge the final result only after full healing and the touch-up — that is, after about 6–8 weeks.
Do I need to come for a separate consultation before the treatment?
You don't have to — I can do the consultation on the same day, right before the treatment. However, if you have doubts or take medication, I recommend a separate consultation in advance. It's free and with no obligation.
