HOW DOES AGE AFFECT MICROBLADING & PMU TREATMENT SELECTION?

When it comes to Microblading & PMU Treatment selection, age can play a significant factor, due to various skin changes, aesthetic considerations, and lifestyle factors. 

Here Kintija Belska and Monika Ludwiczak, International Microblading & PMU Experts and Co-Founders of Everlasting Brows discuss how age can affect Microblading & PMU Treatment selection.

20's 

Skin Characteristics: Your skin in your 20s is firm, supple, youthful-looking, has more elasticity and often heals faster. You may have a higher oil production, which can impact pigment retention, meaning you may require more touch-ups.

Aesthetic Preferences: In your 20’s you may be interested in keeping up with the latest beauty trends opting for more striking looks, as well as enhancing your natural features. 

Lifestyle Factors: In your 20’s you may have a very hectic and active lifestyle, where you prefer a low-maintenance beauty routine.

Treatment Recommendation: Any type of brow treatment is a great option at this stage, client from this group can opt for micro or nano blading, powder brows, ombre brows or combination brows. Gentle lip enhancement is also a great treatment option at this age.

30’s – 50’s

Skin Characteristics:  As you enter your 30s you start to experience changes in your skin’s tone and texture. It is during the next 2 decades that your skin starts to lose its elasticity as collagen production decreases. Your skin might start to become drier with fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and hyperpigmentation starting to appear. You may also experience a slightly slower healing process.

Aesthetic Preferences: In your 30s - 50s you may be interested in enhancements that provide a more youthful appearance.

Lifestyle Factors: In your 30s - 50s you may seek natural and long-lasting results, reducing the need for daily make-up application. 

Treatment Recommendation: During your 30s you can pretty much opt for the same options as in your  20s but as the skin matures a soft powder brow or shaded stroke is the most recommended treatment. Instead of lip blush clients should opt for a bubble lip treatment for visually enhance the look of their lips as their volume slowly starts to decrease 

60’s + 

Skin Characteristics: As you enter your 60s, your skin tends to lose its thickness, becomes more sensitive and is slower to heal. Deep-set wrinkles may be more pronounced, and loss of elasticity becomes more prominent. Pigment retention may be lower, requiring more precise application and frequent touch-ups.

Aesthetic Preferences: In your 60s you may require more natural and soft enhancements to restore your features. You may require solutions for issues, such as sparse eyebrows or lip colour loss, due to ageing.

Lifestyle Factors: In your 60s you may prefer more convenient beauty routines with long-lasting results.

Treatment Recommendation: At this age normally a softer enhancements are better - nothing too bold or drastic with the most preferred choice for eyebrows to be nano strokes or shader strokes to create an effortless look as well as lip enhancements to touch up the missing pigmentation and make up for the loss of volume

Microblading and PMU treatment selection as you age involves balancing the unique skin characteristics, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle needs of each age group. Professional consultations are essential to tailor treatments effectively, ensuring both safety and satisfaction with the results.
