Professional Certification in PMU Removal Using Lightening Gel, Spot Correction & Oxygen Recovery Techniques
Become a Certified PMU Removal & Correction Specialist
Expand your Permanent Makeup expertise with the Professional PMU Removal & Correction Certification Program at JOE CEPEDA INSTITUTE. This specialized training program is designed for Permanent Makeup Artists, estheticians, cosmetic tattoo professionals, and beauty practitioners who want to safely perform non-laser Permanent Makeup correction and removal procedures.
Not every Permanent Makeup procedure heals as expected, and clients may seek correction, lightening, or removal before a new treatment can be performed. This program teaches students professional techniques to reduce the appearance of unwanted cosmetic pigment, perform immediate spot corrections when appropriate, and support the skin’s natural recovery process following treatment.
Through advanced theory, skin science, specialized product protocols, and hands-on practical training, students will develop the knowledge and confidence required to safely perform cosmetic PMU correction procedures.
This certification is an excellent addition for professionals who offer eyebrow, eyeliner, lip blush, or cosmetic tattoo services and wish to expand their range of corrective treatments.
