Whats a touch-up and when do I need one?
Most technicians will include at least one follow up session with the the initial application. The color or shape may require an adjustment after the initial procedure has had sufficient time to fully heal. Cosmetic tattooing is a process. Follow up visits are scheduled anywhere from four to eight weeks after the initial procedure. As previously discussed, after your initial and follow up visit is complete, depending on many factors unique to you, the timing for the need for a future color refresher will depend on exposure to the sun and health factors. Colors change in the skin over time from exposure to UV rays (sunlight), skin rejuvenating glycolic acids and Retin A in skin care products and many other factors. Some colors, such as yellow, fade more quickly than others and in time our procedures need to be refreshed. Brow colors seem to need that “golden” touch of yellow replaced in 1-3 years.
