MICROLV PMU FAQ

At MicroLV PMU, I run a one-man studio, and I'm here to assist you. However, please understand that my time is limited. You may find answers to some of your questions in our FAQ section.

  • Is it possible to request a guaranteed result within a limited number of sessions?
    No, as results can vary due to different skin types. However, if you're seeking lower prices for touch-ups, we have a referral program and events that can help you save money. In exceptional cases, we may offer a 50% discount on touch-ups. (Based on a minimum of two visits within a three-month period). SMP and Lip Blushing may require additional touch-ups for optimal results, and these extra touch-ups are not included in MicroLV's coverage. Especially when there has been prior work done by another artist, we cannot guarantee the outcome
  • Do you have a female artist available? I prefer a female artist.
    I apologize, but MicroLV operates as a one-man studio, and currently, the only option available is Jimmy T.
  • Why MicroLV PMU has Referral Programs?
    The concept behind our Referral Program is to create a mutually beneficial relationship for both our clients and us. Instead of investing heavily in marketing expenses, we prefer to reward our clients. However, the success of this program relies on maintaining the quality of our work and ensuring that our clients continue to look and feel beautiful
  • Is it possible for me, as a male, to undergo Microblading?
    For males, if your skin is not thick and oily, and you are 55 years old or younger, Microblading may be an option. However, if you are eligible, a better alternative could be Nano Machine Hair Stroke. Please note that no numbing cream can be used for this procedure.
  • What is your level of expertise?
    Typically, this is quite a broad question, but I'm happy to provide an answer. Jimmy entered the PMU industry in 2019, scheduling two clients per day. Over the past 4-5 years, he has managed to work on more than 2000 cases.
  • Why i need to sign a consent form before procedure?
    Filling out the consent form and providing your medical history is a requirement set forth by the Nevada Health Department (SNHD). It's important to understand and agree that permanent makeup is not easily removable and comes with limitations. Therefore, effective communication and a clear understanding are crucial before proceeding.
  • Are evening and weekend appointments available? Those are the only times I'm available
    We operate seven days a week, with self-booking options available from Monday to Thursday during daytime hours. However, for appointments on Friday to Sunday or during extended hours, there will be an additional charge of $25 or more
  • What is the reason behind the option of not using numbing cream for Ombre Powder Brows?
    he pain level for Ombre Powder Brows is the lowest among all our services. The decision not to use numbing cream is made to achieve finer lines, more intricate details, and better pigment adherence to the skin
  • What is the different Between Permanent Make Up and Tattoo?
    Purpose: Permanent Makeup (PMU): Primarily used to enhance or mimic traditional makeup, such as eyeliner, eyebrows, and lip color. It aims for a natural and subtle look. Tattoo: Often used for artistic and decorative purposes, personal expression, and can involve intricate and colorful designs. Depth of Pigment: PMU: The pigment is implanted into the upper layers of the skin (epidermis and upper dermis), which is shallower compared to tattoos. Tattoo: Tattoo ink is deposited into the deeper layers of the skin (dermis), making it permanent and difficult to remove. Pigment Composition: PMU: Permanent Makeup pigments are often formulated to fade over time, with milder and more organic ingredients. They are designed to mimic the appearance of makeup and are less intense. Tattoo: Tattoo ink contains more vibrant and intense colors and is intended to be long-lasting and resistant to fading. Duration: PMU: While "permanent," PMU tends to fade over time, usually within 1-2 years. Touch-ups are typically required to maintain the desired look. Tattoo: Traditional tattoos are meant to be permanent and can last a lifetime, with some fading and color changes over many years. Appearance: PMU: Aims for a subtle and natural appearance, enhancing one's features without looking like traditional makeup. Tattoo: Often features more prominent and artistic designs, which can be highly visible. Application Technique: PMU: Utilizes specialized equipment and techniques for cosmetic applications. The procedure is generally less painful and heals faster compared to tattoos. Tattoo: Typically applied using a tattoo machine with needles designed for deeper penetration into the skin. In summary, Permanent Makeup is a specialized form of tattooing with a focus on subtle, natural enhancements and shorter-term color retention compared to traditional tattoos. It is important to choose a trained and experienced professional for both procedures, as they involve the use of needles and pigments.
  • When you do not use numbing cream?
    Nano Machine Hair Stroke Brow and Scalp Micropigmentation procedures do not involve the use of numbing cream. This is because their purpose is to create the finest lines or dots to achieve the most natural look possible. However, the discomfort during these services is generally quite mild, and most individuals find it manageable.
  • Does MicroLV continue to promote its services on Groupon?
    Sorry, we no longer have active promotions on Groupon, or we may have just a few remaining based on prior arrangements. Booking directly with us can often result in more significant savings. Our prices are competitive, averaging with other Groupon offers, and we also offer exclusive events and a referral program for additional cost savings!
  • What is Permanent Make Up?
    Permanent Makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, is a cosmetic procedure in which pigment is implanted into the upper layer of the skin to enhance or create long-lasting makeup effects. It's used to mimic the appearance of makeup, such as eyeliner, eyebrow shading, lip liner, and even full lip color. The goal is to provide a semi-permanent solution that can last for several months to years, reducing the need for daily makeup application. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals who want to save time on their daily beauty routine or those with medical conditions that affect their appearance, such as alopecia or scarring

    No, as long as you maintain proper cleanliness and adhere to both before and aftercare instructions. Lip Blushing, in particular, requires extra care.

    Many of our customers have reported experiencing less pain at MicroLV compared to their previous experiences.

If you find it uncomfortable at this stage and choose to stop, a nominal fee of $25 will be charged.
