How much does a permanent makeup refresh cost in Berlin?
The short answer first: at Kosmetikinstitut Expert, eyebrow, microblading and Powder Brows refreshes currently cost 175 euros on offer instead of the regular 200 euros. Lip refreshes are currently 200 instead of 300 euros, while permanent eyeliner refreshes are 200 instead of 250 euros. Promotions can change, so the binding amount is always shown on the relevant PMU refresh service page.
The more useful answer starts before the euro sign. What exactly is being refreshed? A harmonious base that has faded evenly requires a different plan from dense, discoloured or unfamiliar work by another artist. A professional price therefore covers not only new colour, but also the judgement of whether adding colour is the right solution at all.
A price is transparent only when the service is clear
Current appointment planning allows around 90 minutes for brows and approximately 120 minutes for lips or eyeliner. That time is not simply spent implanting pigment. It includes assessing the old result, checking shape and residual tone, selecting colour, hygienic preparation, precise treatment and individual aftercare guidance.
When comparing offers, ask more than “How much?” Ask, “What exactly is included?” Is personal assessment part of the appointment? Is previous work accepted, corrected or declined? Will the artist explain what can realistically remain after healing? Two identical prices may describe entirely different levels of responsibility.
Current guide prices by treatment area
Permanent eyebrow refreshes, microblading and Powder Brows are currently offered at 175 euros, with a regular price of 200 euros. They share a similar appointment length but are not technically identical. Fine strokes, soft shading and existing pigment density require different decisions.
A lip PMU refresh currently costs 200 instead of 300 euros. A permanent eyeliner refresh is currently 200 instead of 250 euros. The longer appointment reflects sensitive areas, careful colour work and controlled execution. The service page price at booking remains decisive.
Why old or external work can change the plan
A refresh price assumes that the existing base can be continued responsibly. If shape has shifted, tone is strongly grey, red or orange, or the skin already carries dense pigment, simply adding more would not be a proper refresh. Colour correction, further fading or specialist advice about lightening may be needed first.
This is not a hidden price increase; it is a different starting point. A responsible artist explains the distinction before treatment. Olga Keller declines work when additional pigmentation cannot promise a natural result. A cheap appointment becomes expensive if a complex correction is needed afterwards.
What quality permanent makeup actually pays for
The fee includes experience, time, hygiene, single-use materials, documentation and the ability to anticipate the healed outcome. PMU is not removed at bedtime. A line or contour accompanies the face for years. The cheapest minute is therefore a poor measure; the quality of the decisions made before that minute matters more.
Olga uses certified German-made pigments free from heavy metals and iron oxides. Colour should not only look attractive immediately after treatment. It should heal predictably and soften gracefully later. Material is selected for professional requirements rather than the lowest purchase cost, and that standard is part of the price.
Three questions protect better than a bargain
First, who personally performs the treatment and what training do they have? Second, how is unsuitable previous work handled? Third, which pigment, hygiene and aftercare standards apply? Clear answers matter more than a countdown offer or a free slot that appears the same afternoon.
Bring makeup-free daylight photographs and information about earlier sessions. Do not hide medication or skin reactions, and never alter prescribed treatment without medical guidance. When the base is unsuitable, an honest no protects both your face and, very often, your budget.
Ask whether the quoted amount applies to your exact starting point and which later steps may be needed. Clear information before booking prevents misunderstandings. A professional offer does not need complicated language; it needs to be understandable.
A fair price begins with an honest decision
Olga Keller is a state-trained cosmetician with a medical foundation and a Berlin microblading pioneer since 2013. Nearly 13 years, thousands of successful procedures, clients from Germany and abroad, and the trust of known personalities and politicians shape her work. Her philosophy is naturalness: the result should look as though nothing was done.
Hundreds of five-star reviews on Google, Treatwell, Facebook and other platforms confirm both her precision and honesty. Arrange a personal assessment so that the right service is established before its price. A refresh is fairly calculated when it supports the face for the long term.
Many regular clients return to Olga and new clients often find her through recommendations, so a suitable appointment may require a little advance planning. That brief wait is a positive sign of established trust, not hurried treatment.
