HEALING & PROCESS: Permanent makeup is a 2 session process. NO desired result comes after 1 session.
After the first session, you can expect scabbing, flaking, and loss of existing pigment. On average our clients heal 30% lighter in color after their initial session. We also have clients who will heal 75% lighter making it look like nothing had been done. This is completely normal and why we have a touch up session within 6-8 weeks of your first session.

TOUCH UP SESSION:
Your touch up session is to be done 6-8 weeks after your initial session. In the touch up session is where we can see how your brows healed, then we can go darker and bolder if needed.
