Aftercare

• Improper Aftercare: Not following aftercare instructions can lead to poor retention. This includes avoiding water, sun exposure, scratching and certain skincare products.

Technique and Pigment Quality

• Technician Skill: The experience and technique of the artist play a crucial role. Incorrect depth can cause the body to absorb the color.   The angle of the blade should alway be 90 degrees or or it  can affect how well the pigment stays.  Whether you have chosen  Ombre brows, Powder brows, eyebrow tattoo, Lip Liner or lip fillers.

Skin Conditions and Medications

• Medications: Certain medications, especially those affecting the skin or blood, can impact how well the pigment stays.

Environmental Factors

• Sun Exposure: UV rays can cause pigments to fade.
• Skincare Products: Products containing retinoids, acids, and exfoliants can accelerate fading.

Touch-Up Sessions

• Touch-Ups: Not getting the necessary touch-up sessions can lead to premature fading. Typically, a touch-up is needed a few weeks after the initial procedure.

Body’s Natural Healing Process

• Healing Process: Everyone’s body heals differently, and the immune system can treat the pigment as a foreign object, leading to fading.  Sometimes the body will pull our more red, blue or gray colors from the ink that is way its so important to get corrective work and touch ups.
