Lesson 7 – Work with very thick and not transparent skin type

• Now will speak about one difficult case it's work with very thick and not transparent skin type

I think you met client when you work with them and they come back with NO colour like you did nothing, absolutely nothing

It's not often, but sometimes it can happen, so let me explain why and how to see that type of skin and be ready for them

This is case of my student, she did her lips outliner and it healed like this

She was working by transparent technique which I teach you 1 point needle and transparent pigment without dioxide titanium and you see the result.

For this skin type we need to choose different technique, old school of pmu, slow circular movements, group needle like 3RL or 5RL, slow speed of machine and pigment with dioxide titanium (white) not transparent pigment, because only this pigments can give you visible color after healing

And now I'll try to explain how to see this type of skin and choose right technique in first procedure

1. Wrinkles, not transparent skin is very rich of collagen and that's why they don't have a lot little wrinkles
And transparent skin has much more little one

2. Hair  it's very simple indicator, not transparent skin type usually has very thick and strong hair of eyebrows if you see this , be sure we need to work and put very dense color

Transparent skin has very soft and tiny hair

3. If you will try to pinch the skin transparent skin is very soft and easy to pinch and not transparent skin is strong and not so easy to pinch it

4. One more time about wrinkles not transparent skin with age get deep and lots of numbers wrinkles and transparent skin has many and it start very earlier by age but they are not so deep

If you will look on the arm you can see blood vessels very well for the transparent skin and for not transparent skin it's not so visible

So one more time if you see this type of skin, don't waste your time for transparent technique.

I hope it will help you dear colleagues

For the eyebrows it can be the same problem especially for clients without hair, because scab fall down to quick

Look at this case

Case of my student, skin is good example of not transparent, wrinkles are deep and not lots of them, hair on her brows is thick and strong

In this skin type I recommend to use techniques which can give you dense, not transparent colour like
- machine shading with slow/short movements or even circular movements, with group needle 3RL or 5RL
- dots technique combine with manual shading
I DON'T recommend to use
- 1 point soft powder
- any techniques with fast pendulum movements like soft powder or ombré
- microblaiding

Here the healed result after one procedure of dots and manual shading technique

So soft powder is transparent technique, it’s airy so if to tell generally I don’t recommend this technique for thick skin type, density is not enough in my opinion.
