At Refine Enhancements, we believe beauty should be accessible, safe, and stress-free—no matter your skin type.

Understanding Sensitive Skin and PMU

Having sensitive skin can mean many things—redness, reactivity, dryness, or allergic tendencies. In the world of permanent makeup, this means your artist must take extra care with the products used, the techniques chosen, and how your skin is prepared and treated before, during, and after your appointment.

At Refine Enhancements, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every detail is customized to your unique skin type and lifestyle, ensuring your experience is as comfortable and beautiful as it is safe.

How Refine Enhancements Tailors PMU for Sensitive Skin

1. Gentle Techniques

We specialize in ultra-light, hyper-realistic enhancements that minimize trauma to the skin. Techniques like nano brows and lash liner enhancements are designed to be soft yet effective, avoiding unnecessary pressure or deep penetration.

2. Hypoallergenic Pigments

We use high-quality, US/EU-regulated pigments known for their stability and safety. These formulations are specifically selected to reduce the risk of allergic reactions or irritation—especially for delicate, reactive skin.

3. Skin Prep That Respects Your Barrier

Your appointment begins with a full consultation and skin assessment. We avoid harsh alcohol-based prep solutions and instead opt for barrier-friendly cleansers and calming antiseptics that cleanse without stripping or sensitizing.

4. Personalized Numbing Protocols

Sensitive skin clients often worry about numbing agents. That’s why we use carefully selected topical anesthetics that are effective, gentle, and suited to your specific needs. You’ll be comfortable throughout the process—without compromising safety.

Expect a calm, soothing atmosphere where your comfort is prioritized. We keep your skin cool and calm throughout your session, checking in with you every step of the way.

After:

Healing protocols are customized for sensitive skin, focusing on hydration, barrier repair, and minimal intervention. We’ll send you home with aftercare products that are fragrance-free, soothing, and non-comedogenic.

Tips for Sensitive Skin Clients Considering PMU

  • Book a Patch Test: Especially if you have a history of allergies or sensitivities, this simple step ensures peace of mind.

  • Follow Aftercare Closely: Healing is just as important as the procedure itself. We’ll walk you through it step-by-step.

  • Be Transparent About Your Skin History: Your comfort and safety are our priority—no judgment, just expert support.

  • Ask About Customization: Every element—from pigment tone to numbing choice—can be adjusted to meet your needs.
