Cosmetic brow tattoos are a game-changer for achieving effortless beauty, but like any beauty investment, they require maintenance to keep looking their best. Over time, factors like skin type, sun exposure, and pigment settling can subtly alter their appearance. For most clients, a touch-up every one to two years ensures that their brows stay perfectly defined and polished.

Why do brows need touch-ups

Cosmetic tattooing uses pigment deposited into the skin to create beautiful, natural-looking brows. Over time, several factors can impact their appearance:

• Skin type: Oily skin tends to fade pigments faster.

• Sun exposure: UV rays can lighten the color of the tattoo.

• Pigment settling: How the pigment interacts with your skin can evolve over the months.

Touch-ups help maintain the crisp lines, vibrant color, and defined shape you love.

Signs you might need a brow touch-up

If you’re wondering whether it’s time to refresh your brows, here are some key indicators to look for:

• Faded color: Over time, the pigment may lighten, appearing less vibrant than when first applied. If your brows look washed out or less defined, a touch-up can restore their rich tone.

• Blurred edges: The crisp, clean edges of your brow design may begin to blur or soften, making the brows look less polished.

• Patchiness or uneven fading: Pigments can fade unevenly, leaving some areas lighter or patchy. A touch-up ensures a uniform and balanced look.

• Shape adjustments: Skin changes, like natural aging or stretching, can subtly alter the shape of your brows. A touch-up helps refine and maintain their symmetry.

• Lifestyle factors: Frequent sun exposure, exfoliation, or certain skincare routines can also cause pigments to fade faster.
