Permanent makeup has exploded in popularity across Bangalore, with studios popping up on every corner. But with the delicate skin of your face on the line, how do you separate the highly qualified professionals from the inexperienced hobbyists?
1. Look Beyond Heavily Edited Photos: Any artist can use a filter or ring-light glare to mask poor work on Instagram. Look specifically for clinics that post clear, unedited, zoomed-in photos of immediately post-procedure work where you can see the crispness of the strokes or shading. Even more importantly, demand to see healed results. PMU always looks different once the skin has healed over it.
2. Verify Their Certifications: PMU artistry is highly specialized and requires deep knowledge of skin anatomy and color theory. Ensure the lead artist or doctor is formally certified by reputable international academies, not just a weekend training course.
3. Check the Environment: Is the facility a standard salon, or a sterile aesthetic clinic? PMU should never be performed on an open salon floor. It requires an enclosed, dedicated, highly sterile treatment room.
At Esthetica by Dr. Shangavi, we pride ourselves on establishing Bangalore’s gold standard for PMU transparency, clinical excellence, and natural, flawless, healed results.
