How to Use a Permanent Makeup Machine: A Guide for Professionals

Mastering your permanent makeup machine is crucial for achieving flawless results. This guide addresses common challenges faced by professionals, offering clear instructions and expert tips for optimal performance with your device. We’ll cover machine settings, needle selection, and essential safety practices.

Understanding Your Permanent Makeup Machine

Before operating any permanent makeup machine, familiarize yourself thoroughly with its specific features and controls. Different brands and models may have slight variations. Consult your machine's manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions. Understanding the power supply, speed control, and needle depth adjustment is paramount. Proper maintenance of your permanent makeup machine is also crucial for longevity and consistent performance.

Choosing the Right Needles and Pigments

Needle selection significantly impacts the outcome of your procedure. The size and configuration of the needle cartridge determine the stroke width and the overall effect. Fine needles are ideal for delicate procedures like eyebrow hair strokes, while larger needles are suitable for lip liner or full lip shading. Always use high-quality pigments specifically designed for permanent makeup to ensure vibrant, long-lasting results and minimize the risk of complications. Remember to always follow your machine manufacturer's guidelines for needle cartridge compatibility.

Setting Up Your Machine

Begin by carefully assembling your chosen needle cartridge, ensuring it's securely attached to the machine's grip. Adjust the machine's power settings according to the chosen needle and the specific treatment area. Start with a lower speed setting to gain control and gradually increase as needed. Consistent, controlled movements are key to achieving precise results. Remember to regularly sterilize your equipment before and after each procedure.

Practice and Precision

Practice is essential to master the technique of using a permanent makeup machine. Start with practicing on artificial skin to develop your hand-eye coordination and consistent needle depth. Gradually increase the speed and pressure as you become more comfortable. Precision is key in achieving natural-looking results, avoiding over-saturation or uneven pigment distribution. Remember the importance of client consultation and thorough aftercare instructions.

Safety First!

Prioritize safety throughout the entire procedure. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection. Maintain strict hygiene standards to prevent cross-contamination. If you experience any issues during the procedure, immediately stop and address the problem. Client safety is paramount.

How do I make eyelash lift and tint at the same time?

1. Clean the eyelashes and skin around the eyes with clean water and cotton pads.

2. Apply glue to the back of the silicone perm rod and stick it on the upper eyelid. After the silicone perm rod is fixed on the eyelid, cover the lower eyelashes with the eye patch.

3. Apply glue to the surface of the silicone perm rod, use a Y-shaped brush or a separate tool to stick the eyelashes on the silicone perm rod, and comb the eyelashes straight to ensure that the eyelashes do not overlap. After the glue dries and fixes the position of the eyelashes, proceed to the next step.

4. Apply the perm agent to the eyelashes to soften the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes.

5. Remove the perm agent, apply the neutralizer to shape the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes

6. Mix dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio.

7. Remove the neutralizer, use a small brush to apply dye evenly on eyelashes, wait for the appropriate time (usually 10-15 minutes) to allow the dye to fully color.

8. Clean the eyelashes and residual glue with a detergent, and remove the silicone perm rod and eye patch.

9. Apply Collagen conditioner to nourish the eyelashes, and you're done!

What size of microblading pen should I choose?

Currently, the more popular thicknesses are 0.16mm and 0.18mm; the popular sizes are 16U, 18U, and 18P. How to choose a microblading brow tools that suits you can refer to the advice on choosing a best microblading blade to use, which depends largely on several factors, including the type of eyebrow tattoo, the degree of detail required, and personal tattooing skills. Here are some basic guidelines:

Type of eyebrow tattoo: Detail and line tattoo: Finer lines and details can usually be achieved with finer needles (such as 0.16mm or 0.18mm).

Filling and shading: Slightly thicker needles (such as 0.20mm or 0.25mm) may be required to achieve better color coverage and shading effects on the skin.

Personal tattooing technique: Novice tattoo artists may tend to use thicker needles to minimize the operation time on the skin, while experienced tattoo artists have the flexibility to choose needles of different thicknesses to achieve more diverse effects.

Skin type: The texture and thickness of different skin will also affect the choice of needles. Thicker skin may require slightly thicker needles to ensure color and lines penetrate effectively.

Hair Condition: The thickness of your client’s natural hair is also an important factor in choosing needle thickness. Thicker hair requires slightly thicker needles to ensure lines are consistent with the natural hair.

Blade
What size needle for microblading eyebrows? U-curved needle or a slope needle?

Slope Needle: The tip of a tilting needle usually presents a beveled angle. This shape is suitable for detailed line and contour work and is commonly used for contour and fine areas of tattoos, but may require some skill to ensure smoothness and consistency of the line.

U-curved Needle: U-curved needles have a U-curved tip and usually consist of multiple needles. The U-curved needle design distributes ink more evenly across the skin. It is more suitable for color filling and shading effects and gradient effects on large areas, and can cover a larger area in a short period of time. However, you need to control the pressure and speed to avoid uneven color.

To summarize, the choice of needle depends mainly on the design of the eyebrows semi permanent makeup and the desired effect.
