Is SPMU Safe? What You Need to Know Before Getting Embroidery
Let’s Talk Honestly—Because Your Face Deserves More Than Guesswork
If you’re reading this, you’re probably curious about semi-permanent makeup (SPMU)—but also a little cautious. That’s fair.
At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we welcome questions about safety. You’re trusting someone with your face. You deserve full transparency about how it works, what to expect, and how we keep you safe.
Let’s break it down—clearly, gently, and truthfully.
What Is SPMU?
SPMU stands for semi-permanent makeup. It’s a category of cosmetic tattooing that includes:
Eyebrow embroidery (microblading, misty, nano)
Lip embroidery
Hairline embroidery
Pigment removal (e.g., RF Pulse for old brows)
Unlike traditional tattoos, SPMU uses shallower penetration and fades over time, giving you flexibility to refresh or change your look as your face and preferences evolve.

So—Is It Safe?
Yes, when performed by certified professionals using proper technique, clean tools, and high-quality pigment. Here’s how we ensure your safety at every step:
Pre-treatment skin consultation – to assess skin health, sensitivities, and suitability
Medical-grade organic pigments – made in Germany, tested for heavy metals and allergens
Sterile tools and single-use needles – never reused, always sealed
Patch testing – when needed for pigment or numbing agent sensitivity
Aftercare support – to prevent infection and promote healing
What Are the Risks?
Like any procedure, there are minor risks if not done professionally: infection, uneven healing, or unwanted colour results. These are extremely rare in our studio due to strict hygiene and high artist training.
More importantly, our RF Pulse removal treatment lets you undo or refine past work safely if needed—no harsh lasers, no aggressive scrubbing.
