It is possible, but different factors can determine how your body responds.

How long is Aftercare?

Aftercare is followed for 1 week OR until any scabbing has stopped

What can I expect after the service?

Within a week your brows will become darker, then they may scab and flake. Usually within 2 weeks the color may fade very light, then come back in by week 3 or 4.

When is my first touchup due?

Your first touch-up is 30-60 days for brows and 60 days for lip blushing and neutralization.

** Please note the everyone’s experience is different, and your body’s natural defense is to rid itself of the pigment. This is why it is important to follow aftercare, so your skin can absorb as much pigment as possible.

SKIN ABSORPSION

All skin is different.  Everyone’s skin absorbs pigment differently.

The skin is designed to keep foreign things OUT of the body.  It is the skins natural defense to push out the pigment.  Therefore, you may lose up to 40% of the pigment, and the first touchup is needed in 4 -8 weeks.

Some Skin is resistant to pigment and does not absorb it well.

 Some skin soaks up pigment, mainly due to dryness or dehydration.

Healthy skin along with good overall health will yield the best outcome.

There is no way to determine how the pigment will adjust to your skin.

There are many factors that determine the outcome, such as:  hormones, medications, skin type, skin condition, health, etc.
