Sterilization traceability for permanent makeup in Germany

Permanent makeup penetrates the skin barrier — the same hygiene requirements as tattooing apply. SecuSteri documents every sterilization cycle for your reusable handpieces, microblading handles, and accessories.

PMU hygiene requirements in Germany

Gesundheitsamt (local health authority) · Trade office (Gewerbeamt)

Permanent makeup (Micropigmentation) is subject to the same hygiene regulations as tattooing under IfSG §36(2), because the skin barrier is penetrated. This applies to all studios offering this service, including beauty salons. Reusable handpieces and microblading holders must be sterilized between clients. A written Hygieneplan, annual staff hygiene training, and proper waste management are required. Pigments must comply with EU REACH Regulation 2020/2081.
