Touch Up

We all need touch-up at one point or another.  Permanent Cosmetics is the process of applying pigment beneath the outer layer of skin, similar to a body tattoo.  Color will not run, smudge, or wash off, and it will stay on everyday.  However, over time, color will soften due to the factors below:

• Sun exposure

• Normal exfoliation of the surface of the skin

• Our skin becoming thinner as we age

• Use of daily moisturizer that contains Glycolic acid

• Swimming in chlorinated water

• Exfoliating the skin with chemical peels

• Use of some medications that affect the color

• Application of cleansers (some cleansers contain galcolic acid; this is indicated in the ingredients)

• Daily showers

It is normal for color to gradually soften and for a touch-up session to be scheduled.  The time between touch-up sessions varies from three months to three years, due to varying individual lifestyles as mentioned above.  During the touch-up session, new color will be used to enhance and adjust the existing color, shape and, size.  Go ahead and enjoy your new look and the freedom from applying daily make-up.
