Cosmetic tattooing is designed to fade over time. Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, age,metabolism, medications, and pigment color affect the longevity of the tattoo. The sun and some kinds of lighting (tanning beds) can affect the rate at which these pigments are broken down. To take care of your brows follow the aftercare instructions and touch-up your brows every 12-18 months (as needed). Touch-ups are normal and expected for Permanent Cosmetics.*Please note that final results vary and CANNOT be guaranteed due to the nature of skin as it heals. A follow-up appointment is recommended at 6-8 weeks where we can assess your pigment retention and make any changes necessary. 

• Oily Skin: Increased oil production can cause hairstrokes to blur and heal lighter and powdery. 

• Smoking: Smokers may notice that their Semi-Permanent Cosmetics will fade faster.

• Anemia and iron deficiency: Your body will absorb these iron based pigments more quickly.

• Sun exposure: Increased exposure to the sun will cause premature fading. You will want to use a special sunscreen for your Semi-Permanent Cosmetics; I recommend Ink Guard. You can find it here CannaSmack Ink Guard SPF30-Tattoo Fade Shield. 

• Age and metabolism. The Faster your metabolism the faster the pigment will fade.

• Bleeding during the procedure: Excessive bleeding during your procedure will greatly affect how your body retains pigment. While this is not entirely in our control, it is important that you follow before care instructions to help minimize bleeding. This includes avoiding blood thinning medications, alcohol, and caffeine 24 hours before your procedure.

Topical 5% Lidocaine is used to make you comfortable during your Semi-Permanent Cosmetic procedure, however pain tolerance varies from client to client. Having the procedure during your menstrual cycle may increase your sensitivity.

1. For 1 hr post appointment, blot brows with a clean tissue to remove lymph. If the oozing dries on brows, it’ll create massive scabs, and the brows will peel and flake like crazy and we don’t want that!

2. Within a few hrs post appointment, wash brows with the aftercare soap provided. Then, you are going to:

1. Wash hands.

2. Get a TINY bit of soap and some water OUTSIDE OF SHOWER

3. Wash gently in direction of hair. It’s a LIGHT swipe, just to help remove excess oil, oozing etc.

4. RINSE THOROUGHLY. Cup your hands with water and rinse to make sure all soap is removed.

5. Pat dry with clean paper towel.

6. Apply balm (TINY AMOUNT, NOT GOOPY).

Yes! All Permanent Cosmetic procedures require 2 sessions. During your 6-8 week follow-up we can assess your pigment retention and make any adjustments needed. This follow-up also increases the longevity of your Semi-Permanent Cosmetics.
