Skin does not hold pigment evenly on the first pass. A touch up at 6 to 8 weeks fills any pale spots and adjusts the shape. Most technicians include one touch up in the price. Skipping it leads to patchy or faded results within 6 to 12 months. Treat the touch up as part of the procedure.
A first eyebrow session usually lasts 2 hours to 3 hours. The technician measures your face with a mapping tool, draws a shape with a pencil, and checks it with you. The pigmenting step itself is shorter. Lips and eyeliner often take 1 hour to 2 hours.
Permanent makeup places coloured pigments into the upper layers of the skin using a fine needle. It is used for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip colour. The pigment sits about 1 to 2 mm below the surface. Results look like makeup but stay on through showering and sleep. It fades gradually rather than washing off.
Ask if pigments are EU or FDA approved for cosmetic use. Confirm autoclave sterilisation for reusable tools and disposable covers for machine parts. A patch test 24 to 48 hours before the appointment checks for allergic reactions. People on blood thinners, pregnant, or with active skin conditions should wait.
Eyebrows usually look good for 12 months to 24 months before needing a colour refresh. Lips tend to fade faster, often within 12 months, because of cell turnover in that area. Lifestyle, sun exposure, and skin type change the timeline for each person.
Colour looks about 30 to 50 percent darker right after the session. Days 2 to 4 may show mild swelling and tightness. Days 5 to 10 light scabs form and flake off. The colour appears too light for about 2 weeks, then settles to the true tone by week 6. Avoid picking the flakes.
Eyebrow work usually comes as microblading, which uses a hand blade to cut thin strokes, or as machine shading, which uses dots to build a soft fill. For lips, the common option is a lip blush. For eyes, it is a soft lash enhancement or a thin eyeliner line.
Keep the area dry for 24 hours, then wash gently with mild soap for 7 days. Apply the healing balm your technician gave you. Avoid sun, gyms, saunas, and swimming for 10 days. Do not pick at any flaking skin, since this can pull pigment out early.
Ask for a portfolio of healed results, not just fresh photos. Healed photos should be taken 6 to 8 weeks after the session. Check that the studio uses single use needles opened in front of you. Pigment bottles should have a batch number and expiry date. Training certificates should name the specific technique.
Skin never holds pigment evenly on the first pass, so almost every artist schedules a touch up at 6 weeks to 8 weeks. At this visit, gaps are filled, shape is refined, and the tone is corrected. Skipping this step often leads to patchy or uneven final results.
