Brow PMU vs Lamination

What’s the difference, and which one is right for you?

Brow Lamination

Brow lamination is a semi-permanent treatment that smooths and lifts your natural brow hairs into place for a fuller, fluffier look — like a brow “lift” without needles.

Results last: 4–6 weeks
Great for: Those with existing brow hair who want fluffier, lifted brows
Pain level: None
Upkeep: Every 6-8 weeks
Customizable: Shape and style, depending on your natural growth

Brow PMU (Permanent Makeup)

Brow PMU is a longer-lasting solution that enhances the shape, fullness, and definition of your brows using pigment placed beneath the skin. It can look soft and natural or more filled-in, depending on the style.

Results last: 1–3 years (with touch-ups)
Great for: Sparse brows, asymmetry, or filling gaps
Pain level: Mild to moderate (numbing used)
Upkeep: Annual touch-ups
Customizable: Technique (nano, powder, combo), color, shape, and density

Not sure which one to choose?

Think of it like this:

Brow lamination works with what you already have — it won’t add anything where there’s no hair.
Brow PMU can add the illusion of brow hair or fullness even where there is none.

Already getting brow lamination?
That’s great! If you're curious about PMU, lamination can help give a temporary preview of what a fuller brow might look like — especially if your brows are already decent in shape. Just remember: PMU goes beyond by filling gaps and adding definition where lamination can’t.

Can they be combined?

Yes! Lamination and PMU can work beautifully together. Many clients:

Start with lamination to explore a fluffier shape
Transition to PMU for longer-lasting results
Or continue using lamination to style natural hairs on top of their healed PMU base for added dimension
