Is the Touch-Up Session Necessary?
Semi-permanent makeup offers a convenient and time-saving solution for enhancing facial features. However, to ensure the best results and longevity, touch-up sessions are a crucial part of the process.
Why Are Touch-Up Sessions Essential?
Touch-up sessions, typically scheduled 4–8 weeks after the initial procedure, serve several important purposes:
Color Refinement: Over time, pigments may fade or change hue due to factors like skin type, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits. A touch-up allows for color adjustments to maintain vibrancy.
Shape Perfection: Healing can lead to minor inconsistencies in shape. The touch-up session provides an opportunity to correct these imperfections, ensuring symmetry and definition.
Enhanced Longevity: The initial application sets the foundation, but touch-ups reinforce the pigment, extending the overall lifespan of the makeup.
How Often Should Touch-Ups Be Scheduled?
The frequency of touch-ups varies based on individual factors:
Initial Touch-Up: Generally recommended 4–8 weeks after the first session to address any fading or shape issues.
Annual Maintenance: After the initial touch-up, most clients opt for annual refreshers to maintain optimal results.
Factors influencing the need for touch-ups include skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and adherence to aftercare instructions.
What Happens if a Touch-Up Is Missed?
Skipping a touch-up session can lead to:
Uneven Fading: Some areas may fade faster than others, resulting in an uneven appearance.
Reduced Longevity: Without reinforcement, the pigment may not last as long, necessitating more frequent replacements.
Color Distortion: Over time, pigments can shift in hue, leading to unnatural tones.
Can the Shape or Color Be Adjusted During a Touch-Up?
Yes, touch-up sessions provide an opportunity to make adjustments to both shape and color based on healing results and personal preferences.
Is the Touch-Up Process Painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during touch-up sessions. Topical numbing agents are applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
How Long Does a Touch-Up Session Take?
Touch-up sessions are typically shorter than the initial procedure, usually lasting between 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the extent of adjustments needed.
What Are the Benefits of Regular Touch-Ups?
Consistent Appearance: Regular touch-ups ensure your makeup remains fresh and aligned with your desired look.
Prolonged Results: Maintaining the pigment through touch-ups extends the overall lifespan of your semi-permanent makeup.
Adaptability: Touch-ups allow for adjustments to accommodate changes in personal style or facial features over time.
How Should I Prepare for a Touch-Up Appointment?
Follow Aftercare Instructions: Ensure you have adhered to the aftercare guidelines provided after your initial session.
Avoid Certain Products: Discontinue the use of products like retinol or chemical exfoliants in the treated area prior to your appointment.
Consult Your Technician: Discuss any concerns or desired changes with your technician before the session.
Is the Touch-Up Session Necessary?
In conclusion, touch-up sessions are a vital component of the semi-permanent makeup process. They ensure color retention, shape accuracy, and overall satisfaction with the results. Regular touch-ups help maintain the desired appearance and extend the longevity of your cosmetic enhancements.

Tattoo balm
What are the characteristics of tattoo balm?
Our tattoo repair balm can be used to help the skin of new tattoos heal and protect, and can also be used for the maintenance of old tattoos. New tattoos usually need to be regularly applied with repair balm during the initial weeks of healing, and for old tattoos, regular maintenance can also help maintain color and luster.
Eyelash curling
How do I make diy lash perm?
1. Clean the eyelashes and skin around the eyes with clean water and cotton pads
2. Apply glue to the back of the silicone perm rod and stick it on the upper eyelid. After the silicone perm rod is fixed on the eyelid, cover the lower eyelashes with the eye patch.
3. Apply glue to the surface of the silicone perm rod, use a Y-shaped brush or a separate tool to stick the eyelashes on the silicone perm rod, and comb the eyelashes straight to ensure that the eyelashes do not overlap. After the glue dries and fixes the position of the eyelashes, proceed to the next step.
4. Apply the perm agent to the eyelashes to soften the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Remove the perm agent, apply the neutralizer to shape the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes
6. Remove the neutralizer, clean the eyelashes and residual glue with a detergent, and remove the silicone perm rod and eye patch.
7. Apply Collagen conditioner to nourish the eyelashes, and you're done!
Blade
How to use microblading needle? Is finest blade the best needles for microblading?
Choosing the thickness of a microblade depends largely on several factors, including the type of eyebrow tattoo, the level of detail required and the individual's tattooing skills. Here are some basic guidelines:
Type of eyebrow tattoo: Detail and line tattoos: finer lines and details can often be achieved with finer needles (e.g. 0.16mm or 0.18mm).
Filling and shading: slightly thicker needles (e.g. 0.20mm or 0.25mm) may be required for better color coverage and shading effects on the skin.
Individual tattooing techniques: Novice tattoo artists may tend to use thicker needles to minimize manipulation time on the skin, while experienced tattoo artists have the flexibility to choose needles of different thicknesses to achieve more varied results.
Skin type: The texture and thickness of different skins can also affect needle selection. Thicker skin may require a slightly thicker needle to ensure that the color and lines penetrate effectively.
Hair condition: The thickness of the client's native hair is also an important factor in choosing the thickness of the needles. Thicker hairs will require slightly thicker needles to ensure that the lines are consistent with the native hairs.
Glue
With this very sticky glue, will the lashes fall off when I use the perm lotion?
Our glue is very sticky and after drying it holds the lashes very firmly to the lash silicone perm rod. Although our glue is water-soluble and can be easily cleaned with water, since there is not much water in the perm lotion, there is not enough water in it to dissolve the glue, so there is no chance that the lashes will not stick to the silicone perm rod and fall off after using the perm lotion. The same goes for Neutralizers too.
Super Essence
Do your tattoo numb essence turn brown? How should they be stored?
Because the tattoo numb product is formulated with a lidocaine and procaine base, it must be stored in a cool, light-proof place. Excessive room temperature, exposure to sunlight, or failure to seal the cap after opening may result in discoloration and deterioration of the product, which may result in loss of the numbing effect.
Here are some instruction for you:
1. Keep numb essence in cool place and avoid sunlight.
2. After open, please close the lid as soon as possible, make sure that you have already close it tightly.
3. For a better effect to prevent the open cream / essence get touch with the air, you can cover with a plastic film on the tube port, then close with lid.
4. Numb essence can also be stored in the crisper section of the refrigerator if you are experiencing hot weather.
