SATIN / PROFILE 01

Soft work. Subtle finish.

A soft, fluid impulse and a very fine pixel that builds a delicate, diffused structure.

AVAILABLE STROKE
3.5 mm
SUGGESTED WORKING SPEED
55–70 Hz

Answer 7 short questions about the procedures you perform and your preferences. We will suggest an ME™ configuration and explain why it may be right for you.

Suggested speeds are a starting point, not a required setting. Needle choice, hand speed, skin stretch and technique also shape the result.

How to work with ME™

Effective pigmentation without excess pressure.

Pigmentation on a model

We designed ME™ so that you can work effectively with the tip of the needle alone, without compensating for difficult pigment implantation by pressing harder. Predictable needle movement helps you place pigment exactly where you want it — dot by dot. You control how those dots are distributed and gradually build the saturation you want.

Satin Motion Control™: soft, subtle shading

Fine, closely spaced pixels let you build a soft result with smooth tonal transitions. You work with the tip of the needle, building saturation gradually — from a delicate veil to a more defined accent.

Saturation under your control

You build the colour layer by layer, without compensating for difficult pigment implantation by pressing harder. You judge the effect of each pass and add pigment where it is needed. It is easier to keep a delicate brow head, a soft gradient and an even fill.

You see the progress as you work

You build the foundation of the healed result during the procedure itself. Saturation, density and gradient develop layer by layer, and you judge the change after every pass. Predictable dot placement helps you avoid unnecessary passes and work exactly where the pigment is needed.

ME™ IN EVERYDAY WORK

More control.
More comfort.

683

ME™ users responded from 1,000 people invited to take part.

211

people bought at least one additional ME™ in a different configuration from their first device.

Survey participants most often identified the following benefits of working with ME™:

Less hand fatigue during long working days

Its balance and low vibration make the device more comfortable to guide through long working days. Comfort was the benefit mentioned most often in the survey.

The intended saturation in less time

Users pointed to smoother pigment implantation and reaching the intended saturation faster.

More predictable healing and fewer touch-ups

Participants pointed to better retention and less need to fill in pigment gaps — for some, with no touch-up needed at all.

A gentler tissue response

Users reported less bleeding, less plasma leakage and fewer cases of hyperpigmentation.

More predictability on demanding skin

Many users said they had become more comfortable working on demanding skin and during lip pigmentation. They also highlighted the fine, precise pixel.

The machine is smaller than the photos suggest

In the hand the machine turns out smaller than the photos suggest. A wider body and a narrow grip make it comfortable to hold. The separately available Slim Grip lets you fine-tune the diameter further.

    Technology in everyday work

    From the motor to a single dot.

    What you cannot see inside the device affects what you feel in your hand and what you see in the skin.

    Precision starts inside.
    FAULHABER Precision starts inside.

    Motor + mechanism + electronics

    No single parameter defines how the device works.

    The motor creates the rotary movement. The mechanism turns it into the forward and backward movement of the needle. The electronics control the motor’s response and the way that movement is delivered according to the selected Motion Control™ profile. Only when these elements work together does the working character appear — the one you feel once the cartridge is on and the needle meets the skin.

    What does each of these elements do?
    Motor
    Turns electrical energy into rotary movement and sets the system to work.
    Mechanism
    Converts the rotary movement of the motor into the controlled reciprocating movement of the needle.
    Electronics
    Controls the power supply and the response of the motor, giving the device its specific Motion Control™ character.

    The drive system is the motor and the mechanism together. The electronics control how it behaves.

    Why is sound alone not enough?

    When you switch the device on you hear it running and feel the basic vibration. What you cannot judge yet is how the whole system will cope with the cartridge, the movement of the needle and the resistance of the tissue. The full behaviour of the device shows only in real working conditions.

    The full picture comes from
    working in the skin.

    Resistance is the sum of the forces that oppose the needle's movement or change its path. Before the needle touches the skin, the system is already overcoming the resistance of the mechanism, the membrane and the moving needle module. Contact with living tissue adds a further, variable load. That is why neither running the machine without a cartridge nor a test on latex can be treated as a full assessment of how the device behaves during the procedure.

    What does the machine have to cope with?

    Mechanism
    Friction and resistance arising inside the working assembly.
    Membrane
    The springy resistance of the cartridge, overcome on every cycle.
    Needle
    The mass and inertia of the parts that have to be accelerated, slowed down and sent back.
    Skin
    The variable load that appears when the needle meets the tissue.
    03 / DURING THE PROCEDURE

    Every load at once. One controlled needle movement.

    During the procedure the device works against the resistance of the mechanism, the membrane, the needle module and the tissue all at once. That is when you judge how the whole system behaves in real conditions.

    What counts is predictability in real work.

    The foundation of the system

    Everything starts with a dot.

    01 / Stroke

    How far.

    The distance between the needle's furthest retraction and its maximum extension: 2.8 mm or 3.5 mm. Stroke is one of the factors that shape the working character of the machine and the way a single point is laid down.

    Defines Needle travel distance
    01 / 05

    Four configurations. Four working profiles.

    Concept illustration of working character. Line heights and widths are design choices, not measured force, timing or proprietary program waveforms.

    Every technique, every pigmentation and every healed result is built from individual points of pigment.

    A single dot holds everything that matters: energy transfer, needle behaviour, tissue response, the way pigment is implanted, healing and retention.

    The more predictable the dot, the more predictable the result can be. The quality of that single point is where we started designing ME™.

    Since I started working with this machine, I genuinely cannot imagine going back to my previous one. It implants pigment incredibly gently, so the skin barely swells and is not unnecessarily overworked. The pixels are even and clean, and achieving beautiful saturation is very easy. The new grip has made a huge difference for me. My hand does not get tired even after many hours of work, while the pigmentation itself is faster, more precise and simply much more comfortable. I love working with equipment that has a real impact on the quality of my results. I have attached a treatment performed with this machine!

    Black Matte · 3.5 Powder EffectTranslated from Polish

    I will say it plainly: I am a huge fan of this device. I have worked in the industry for several years and have genuinely tested a lot of equipment. I have never come across a device that gives me this level of comfort and quality of work. The machine looks beautiful, of course, but what it does during a treatment is what matters most to me. The movement feels smooth and calm, and above all, you can feel that the device implants pigment effortlessly with very little pressure. Pigmentation is more efficient because every individual dot placed during the movement is precise. The device is exceptionally well balanced, sits comfortably in the hand and does not vibrate, which makes a huge difference during longer treatments. I also see an incredible difference for my clients. The procedure is noticeably more comfortable for them, the skin responds much more gently and the pigment is implanted efficiently. This allows me to work with a lighter hand while also reducing treatment time. And then there are the healed results, which matter most to me. The colour is clean, beautifully saturated and predictable — exactly what I want to achieve. Anyone who has not held one yet should try it.

    I have worked with ME from the very beginning. I used the 3.5 mm stroke for both brows and lips and was very happy with it. After working with this stroke on lips, however, I am still amazed. First of all, there is no swelling, and the satin finish it leaves is remarkable. Every PMU artist knows how much comfort the lack of swelling brings, both during the procedure and for the client — especially for clients who worry about swelling and how they will look immediately after leaving the studio. I have fallen for ME all over again.

    I would go as far as saying that this device changed my life. That may sound exaggerated to some, but yes — my everyday work has definitely had an upgrade. Every PMU artist knows how important working comfort is during long hours in the studio, and how important it is not to make pigmentation harder with a device that simply does not suit your hand. There is no need to give up comfort because of a tangled cable or a power supply taking up space on an already crowded workstation. With vibration reduced to a minimum, I no longer experience the discomfort I had after surgery on my right wrist — perhaps working with ME has even become part of my rehabilitation. It is wonderful to realise that your treatment time has become shorter and that you are holding the ideal combination of power and gentleness. After the very first pass, you can already see a clearly defined shape, while every pixel is so fine that you cannot help but admire the result. Suddenly, almost all clients lie relaxed during their procedures and some even describe the sensation as pleasant. Then the healed results come back and take your breath away. At touch-ups, there is so little left to do that most of the appointment can be spent taking photographs.

    I bought it and, to be honest, it sat gathering dust because I have many machines in the studio and did not have time to test something new. Later, I wanted to sell it — and fortunately no one bought it from me. When I finally sat down with it during a free moment, I liked it so much that I now have another version in my studio.

    A true game changer for lip pigmentation — provided you know how to use its full potential. I have worked with many machines for lips over the years, but this one is in a completely different league. It is incredibly lightweight and comfortable to use. The device is designed so that every pixel lands exactly where it should, without leaving empty areas in the skin. It is exceptionally precise, remarkably stable and gives me complete confidence throughout the procedure. I have not found a better machine yet. Highly recommended.
