How to Choose PMU Machines ？Nano Hair Stroke, Microshading, and PMU Lips

We've created an extensive guide recommending PMU machines designed to suit various styles including nano hair stroke, microshading, and lip procedures. This comprehensive resource offers tailored suggestions to help you achieve optimal results for each technique.

1.Classification of Popular Permanent Makeup Machines in 2024.

Coil PMU Machines 

I won't recommend any coil-type PMU machines. While coil machines are the most affordable option, they often produce louder noise and more significant vibrations compared to rotary and digital machines. The speed control and precision of coil machines are lower, making them unfriendly for beginners in permanent makeup. The discomfort caused by vibrations can make it challenging to work for extended periods and increases the likelihood of errors due to lower precision.

 Rotary PMU Machines

Rotary PMU machines are currently quite popular. Many experienced artists prefer rotary pen-style PMU machines because they offer versatility in speed control with the assistance of a power source. They provide moderate precision and vibration levels, making them beginner-friendly.

 Wireless PMU Machines

Wireless PMU machines represent a new type of permanent makeup machine that has gained popularity among artists worldwide since its introduction. These machines combine the benefits of a power source with a rotary PMU machine while eliminating the hassle of cords. They offer the highest precision and control and are the quietest option available. Typically, wireless machines are more expensive than rotary PMU machines but save you the cost of purchasing a separate power supply.

2.The best PMU machine for nono hair stroke

Hair Stroke:

Hair stroke is a microblading technique aimed at imitating real eyebrow hairs. It involves creating tiny strokes that mimic the direction and natural texture of eyebrow hairs, resulting in a more natural overall look.

Nano Stroke:

Nano stroke is an advanced technique often using nano needle tips to achieve even finer strokes. These strokes are even more delicate than hair strokes, closely resembling individual eyebrow hairs. Nano stroke aims to create a perfect, subtle, and long-lasting eyebrow effect.

POPU LOLA Air wireless PMU machine

The PMU machine most suitable for Nano hair stroke technology usually needs to have certain features and functions to ensure the accuracy and naturalness of the eyebrow embroidery effect.

Both nano stroke and hair stroke techniques aim to enhance the shape and texture of eyebrows using microblading technology. Both styles seek to achieve natural and soft-looking eyebrows. Therefore, we recommend using a machine with a 2.5mm-3.0mm stroke length. This range is considered the safest and most versatile, providing sufficient power for pigment deposition without being too soft or too hard on the skin. It offers the precision and cleanliness of a shorter stroke while also accommodating slightly larger needle configurations. For many artists, this stroke length is considered all-purpose. We strongly recommend PMU beginners to use a machine with a 2.5mm-3.0mm stroke length.

The Lola Air with a 2.7mm stroke length offers exceptional stability and is currently one of the best machines for performing Nano hair stroke techniques.

3.The best PMU machine for Microshading

 Microshading：

Microshading is an eyebrow enhancement technique where a professional technician uses a handheld tool and pigment ink to create tiny, pin-like dots over the brow area. This procedure adds definition and fullness to the brows, giving you a more polished and natural look.

POPU TH014 Rotary PMU Machines

Choose a machine that allows for adjustable needle depth. This feature is crucial for controlling pigment deposition and ensuring consistent results across different skin types. Additionally, it's recommended to use a machine with a stroke length around 3.0mm for shading. Shading requires precise pigment deposition, so selecting a machine with a moderate stroke length allows for multiple passes of color.

The main feature of POPU TH014 is its compact and lightweight design, allowing clients to comfortably work for over two hours without causing any hand strain for the microblading artist. Equipped with a custom-made Japanese motor, this machine provides gentle vibration and high-speed rotation, coupled with an RCA plug design, making it easy to handle for both beginners and experts.

4.The best PMU machine for Lips 

PMU lips：

PMU Lips refers to the technique in Permanent Makeup (PMU) that focuses on the lips, also known as lip tattooing or lip micropigmentation. This technique involves using minimally invasive methods to inject natural or synthetic pigments into the skin surface of the lips to enhance their color, shape, and contour, making them appear fuller, symmetrical, and more attractive.

POPU LOLA  Air Pro wireless adjust stroke PMU machine

Because PMU lips include lip lining, lip shading, and color correction, choosing a machine with adjustable stroke length is crucial. This allows for adjustments based on different lip shapes and skin types to ensure the depth and accuracy of pigment deposition. The lip area is one of the most sensitive parts of the face, so it is recommended to use a machine with a 1.8mm-2.5mm stroke length for PMU lips. A highly stable and precise machine is essential to avoid unnecessary discomfort or errors.
