The perfect stroke length in PMU

Choosing the right needle stroke length is one of the most crucial factors in achieving flawless results in permanent makeup (PMU). The correct stroke length can mean the difference between beautifully blended powder brows and hairstrokes that look like real hair. In this blog, we’ll dive into everything you need to know about stroke lengths and why the Airy Arch Machine is the ultimate tool for precision and perfection.

 

What is the stroke length in PMU?

The stroke length refers to the distance the needle travels within the machine, from its highest point to its deepest penetration into the skin. This distance directly impacts:

• How deep the pigment is deposited into the skin.

• How controlled and precise your work will be.

• How much trauma is caused to the skin.

With the Airy Arch Machine, which offers adjustable stroke lengths from 2.2 mm to 4.2 mm, you can master every technique with precision.

 

Which Stroke Length for Which Technique?

Each PMU technique requires a specific stroke length to achieve the desired outcome. Here’s a handy guide:

• 3.5 mm to 4.2 mm: Perfect for powder brows.

A longer stroke length ensures soft, even shading, ideal for creating that trendy ombre look.

• 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm: Best for lip blush.

This medium stroke length deposits enough pigment to achieve smooth, even color without overworking the delicate lip skin.

• 2.2 mm to 3.0 mm: Essential for hairstrokes.

A shorter stroke length is crucial for precision and prevents lines from being too bold or deep. Perfect for natural, hair-like strokes.

 

Why the Airy Arch Machine is Unique?

The Airy Arch Machine is a game-changer in the world of permanent makeup. Here’s why it stands out:

1. Adjustable Stroke Length (2.2 mm to 4.2 mm):

Unlike most PMU machines with limited options, the Airy Arch lets you customize every technique to suit your client’s skin type and desired results.

2. Real-Time Adjustments During Treatments:

One of the standout features of the Airy Arch Machine is its ability to adjust the stroke length mid-treatment. This means that if the skin reacts differently in certain areas—such as being more sensitive or resistant—you can instantly modify the settings to optimize your results. This adaptability not only ensures a more comfortable experience for the client but also reduces the risk of overworking or underworking the skin.

3. Powerful yet Quiet Motor:

The Airy Arch’s motor is strong yet quiet, allowing you to work efficiently without causing unnecessary stress to the client or the skin.

4. Lightweight and Ergonomic Design:

Say goodbye to hand fatigue during long treatments. The comfortable design gives you maximum control and precision, even during detailed work.

Whether you’re working on thin, sensitive skin or thick, oily skin, the Airy Arch adapts perfectly, ensuring optimal pigment retention and minimal skin trauma.

6. Professional Results Every Time:

With the Airy Arch Machine, you can consistently deliver results that keep clients coming back and recommending your services.

 

Tips for Working with the Airy Arch Machine

1. Test the Stroke Length on Practice Skin:

If you’re unsure about the ideal stroke length for a specific technique, test it first to see how the pigment performs on practice skin.

2. Use a Gentle Hand Pressure:

The power of the Airy Arch means you don’t need to apply heavy pressure, minimizing skin trauma and ensuring a smoother finish.

3. Adjust the Stroke Length as Needed:

Pay attention to how the client’s skin reacts during the treatment. For instance:

• If the skin shows signs of sensitivity, shorten the stroke length to prevent trauma.

• For more resistant or oily areas, increase the stroke length for better pigment penetration.

4. Match the Stroke Length to the Technique:

Always choose the stroke length that complements your chosen method, whether it’s hairstrokes, powder brows, or lip blush.
