Permanent Makeup training, Medically examined (Eyebrows, Lips, Eyeliner, Scalp)

Introduction to the education

Our experience ensures your success as a micropigmentist

We are proud to be among the European pioneers in permanent makeup education - and we are aware of our professional responsibility. Therefore, you are only taught by well-educated and experienced staff, and we use and sell only equipment and accessories that meet the strictest EU requirements.

An optimal permanent makeup education takes time and with us, there is professional supervision and collaboration at every step of the educational process - also during the remote learning at home, where we are always available to contact for answers to any questions, or to provide professional input to your work.

But treatments with permanent makeup require not only time and willingness, but also talent and an artistic "eye".

We train and develop this together in the second practical part of the education, where you under thorough professional supervision test the learned theories in practice on models.

As experienced permanent makeup instructors and experts, we not only accompany our students throughout the educational process, but also after completion of the education, where we are ready with advice and guidance regarding machines and products.

We believe that quality, professional service, and beautifully and naturally executed permanent makeup is your path to success as a micropigmentist. That is what you can expect from our permanent makeup education.

Course structure and setup

The education in Permanent Makeup extends over 50 hours of theory and 110 hours of practice for each specialty you have chosen, including homework on practice skins.

The basic module only needs to be taken ONCE and not for each specialty.

In each specialty (BROWS, LIPS, EYELINER, SCALP) there is a theoretical and a practical part.

1. Theoretical mandatory BASIC MODULE. (Approx. 20 hours incl. online test)

2. Practice and theory at the school (Up to 6 months at the school - minimum 160 hours)

3. Examination, practical and theoretical - oral and written (2 days of 6-8 hours)

Basic Module

The basic module is a prerequisite for the mandatory professional course in cosmetic tattooing.

Once you have enrolled and paid for the Basic Module in permanent makeup education, you will receive a login for online basic theory before you can start your education, and from there we guide you throughout the process.

Theoretical self-study with interactive tests (approx. 20 hours) introduces you to the field so you can be ready for a longer course, following the new strict rules and requirements from 01.07.21.

This Basic Module must be completed only once, just like the mandatory Hygiene Course for cosmetic tattoo artists.

Starting the Basic Module can happen every week throughout the year, as it is online.

Once you have completed the Basic Module and passed the tests, you can choose a Specialty (Eyebrows, Lips, Eyeliner, or Scalp) and be admitted to the mandatory course in cosmetic tattooing.

Specialty (theory and practice at the course center)

The practical part of the education takes place at our training center in Vejle.

It is only here that your basic education in Permanent Makeup can be taken.

The meeting days vary from 15-20 days for the entire education, depending on your development and skills, but the education MUST be completed within 6 months.

The practical training takes place as a starting point in even weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the time slot 10.00-15.00 (in Vejle).

The meeting days include a review of theory, as well as exercises on paper, artificial skin, and real models. Paper, pens, artificial skin, and models are included on practical days as you receive them continuously as needed.

You also get access to extra online material, which you can use in your home exercises and assignments:

• Theory material/course folder

• Videos with step-by-step demo treatments

• Theory tests and drawing assignments

• Examples of consent forms for your clients

This gives you the opportunity to (outside of school meeting days) spend extra time gaining knowledge about permanent makeup and will teach you even more about brow, eyeliner, lip, and scalp techniques. You learn to make correct drawings, treatment step-by-step, and the most modern techniques.

Flexibility

You choose whether you can participate once or several times a week.

We record the number of hours you have participated, and the number of assignments you have submitted, in your individual student schedule.

The practical teaching is then adapted to your individual educational process.

This flexibility makes it easier to integrate elements such as regular work, illness, and vacation, without losing important teaching hours.

You just need to notify absence 10 days before the agreed meeting time (except in case of acute illness), so we can adjust the teaching accordingly. Or extra teaching days are purchased.

Exercises at home

After each teaching session at PMU-line, you continue working with exercises at home for the rest of the week - both on paper and artificial skin.

If you do not maintain the training and studies, your benefit from the education will naturally be reduced.

Student treatments on your own

You are welcome to perform student treatments on your own if you work at a clinic. The clinic must be registered as a tattooing place with the Safety Authority and you must have completed a mandatory Hygiene Course with a certificate.

Model treatments on your own, however, require that you have completed all practical exercises on artificial skin, and performed at least 10 treatments on a model under the supervision of your instructor at the school.

You are thereby approved for student treatments even before the exam.

The groups

Our teaching groups consist of students at different levels. This gives you the perfect sparring with colleagues from all over the country. We help each other, so everyone learns what they need before the exam.

Equipment

You will also get an in-depth knowledge of the equipment used for permanent makeup.

It is important to add that the permanent makeup education requires you to have your own equipment.

However, you can buy various starter packs at PMU-line. This ensures you the best equipment in the industry at favorable prices. All the equipment and accessories used during the educational process and for the exam are included in the price.

Examination

The course concludes with certification: theory exam, as well as practical tasks on a model - oral and written (2 days of 6-8 hours)

Practical Notes on the Education

The practical training usually takes place at PMU-line, located east of Vejle, 5 minutes from the E45 motorway, just outside the city.

There is free parking on site.

The training facilities consist of a treatment room where students can watch the instructor perform treatments on real clients. Additionally, there is a conference room where theory is reviewed.

Due to special Covid19 restrictions, which prevent the distribution of unpackaged food, lunch is currently not served on course days. Therefore, you are welcome to bring your own lunch. However, on all course days and the exam day, some snacks, coffee, tea, water, and fruit are available for free use.

New: Expand your basic education with scalp micropigmentation (SPM)

As something completely new, you can now choose an additional module for your basic education in scalp micropigmentation.

Here you learn a special drawing technique, which is performed on the scalp.

The goal is to imitate hair density to camouflage hair loss, scars, and to create a more beautiful hairline.

Additional Information

Awarded the Best in Permanent Makeup 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023

We are proud that our entire Dermatech-group educational academy has won the Prestige Awards' prize as the best in permanent makeup 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023. The award is given based on the quality of the educations, treatments, and products, our ethical work methods, and consistency in performance.

We are all colleagues

For Aleksandra, it is important to see other micropigmentists as colleagues rather than competitors – because, after all, it should always be the specific needs of the client that are central.

If you have a client with a particular need, it is better to refer the client to the right micropigmentist, rather than ending up with a final result that neither you nor the client is satisfied with. Together we achieve the best results, so let's collaborate and help each other - and the clients.
