For most clients, at least two treatments are usually needed, with the minimum of 6 weeks apart. With most procedures, the colour looks dramatically lighter after the first week. Some clients prefer this, while others opt for a bolder look. At the second session, the colour retention will be evaluated and adjustments will be made as necessary. Everyone heals differently and at different rates. If your micropigmentation does not heal perfectly after the first session, do not worry! This is why it is crucial to attend your follow up appointment.

Micropigmentation treatments are considered semi-permanent and will not wash off, however, they will fade over time and may need to be refreshed every 1-2 years. Frequency of sessions depends on a number of factors including: the pigment colour used (lighter colours fade faster), lifestyle (sun exposure), and if any chemical peels come into contact with treated areas. Please note that final results ARE NOT guaranteed as each unique skin type will hold pigments differently and break down at different rates. Your artist will re-evaluate how your skin has received the pigment at your second session and make any changes if necessary. Multiple sessions are normal for micropigmentation procedures, with each new procedure requiring a minimum of 2 visits. Your second session can be booked no sooner than 6 weeks after the initial appointment. Additional sessions will be charged a product fee of $75.

Sun exposure: The sun will extremely soften the look of your tattoo, sunblock MUST be used (once healed) to prolong your enhancement. The regeneration of skin cells: The longer the regeneration takes, the longer the pigment holds. The speed at which the skin absorbs the pigment: The slower the absorption, the longer the pigment will hold. The choice of colour: Some colours fade quicker than others, e.g. a blonde colour will fade quicker than a dark brown colour. The area of treatment: Enhancements to the face, for example, fade more quickly due to constant exposure. Bleeding during the procedure: Any bleeding during the tattooing procedure will reduce the amount of pigment absorption. Alcohol and certain medications act as blood-thinners and should not be taken prior to your appointment as explained in the previous question.
