Why is it necessary to do a touchup?

Touch up is necessary because everyone heals differently and therefore the outcomes vary. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the color and brow thickness by adding more strokes. In the touch up session, the final adjustments are made to assure the client’s satisfaction.

This is not recommended because the healing needs to be completed before the results are seen. Final adjustments should only be done after the initial work has stabilized.

When pre and post care instructions are followed the risk of complications are minimal. Allergic reactions to pigments are exceedingly rare, but sometimes occur.

Often clients liken the feeling to a slight sunburn. Frequently Tylenol is used to deaden any discomfort.

What if I do not like the result?

Adjustments may be made during touch up, such as pigment discoloration and color correction
