Explore the importance of touch-ups in semi-permanent makeup, including frequency, costs, and factors affecting longevity. Learn how to maintain your look and the benefits of choosing QM Makeup for your cosmetic needs.

How Often Do I Need a Microblading Touch-Up?

Microblading, a semi-permanent makeup technique, enhances eyebrow appearance by creating hair-like strokes with pigment. To maintain optimal results, touch-ups are essential. Here's what you need to know:

1. What Is the Recommended Frequency for Microblading Touch-Ups?

After the initial procedure, a touch-up is typically recommended within 6 to 8 weeks to refine the shape and color. Following this, touch-ups are advised every 12 to 18 months to sustain the desired look.

2. How Much Do Microblading Touch-Ups Cost?

Touch-up costs vary based on the service provider and location. For instance:

MicroArt Semi-Permanent Makeup: Maintenance touch-ups are priced at $600 per 1-hour session.
Meraluma Beauty Co.: Color Boost touch-ups start at $200, with combo or shading touch-ups at $250.
Sorelle Beauty: Touch-ups range from $150 to $175, depending on the service.

It's advisable to consult with your technician for precise pricing.

3. What Factors Influence the Longevity of Microblading Results?

Several factors can affect how long your microblading lasts:

Skin Type: Oily skin may cause pigments to fade faster.
Lifestyle: Exposure to sun, swimming, and skincare routines can impact pigment retention.
Aftercare: Proper post-procedure care is crucial for longevity.
Metabolism and Immune System: Individual body responses can influence pigment fading.

4. Are There Alternatives to Microblading for Semi-Permanent Eyebrow Enhancement?

Yes, alternatives include:

NanoShading: Uses tiny, pin-like dots to fill in thin spots, offering a soft, shaded effect.
Ombre Powder Brows: Provides a powdered, gradient look with darker tails fading into lighter fronts.
Combination Brows: A mix of microblading and shading for a fuller, more defined appearance.

Discuss with your technician to determine the best option for your desired outcome.

5. How Can I Maintain My Semi-Permanent Makeup Results?

To keep your semi-permanent makeup looking fresh:

Follow Aftercare Instructions: Adhere to guidelines provided by your technician.
Schedule Regular Touch-Ups: As recommended, to refresh color and shape.
Protect from Sun Exposure: Use sunscreen to prevent fading.
Avoid Harsh Skincare Products: Steer clear of products that can break down pigments.

Yes, super numb tattoo cream can be used on the lips.

Does a lash lift damages your lashes?

The reagents we use are gentle, non-irritating and non-allergenic and will not damage your natural lashes. However, there is no risk of damage or loss of lashes due to improper handling. Therefore, apart from the fact that you need a good lash lift product choosing a professional lash stylist and salon is also crucial.

Lash lift kit

Does the perming lotion contain the ingredient “Cysteamine” ?

Yes, some formulas contain the ingredient “Cysteamine”, then some contain the ingredient “Thioglycolic acid”. The active ingredient of the perming lotion is a reducing agent, which acts to break the disulfide bonds in the eyelash. Commonly used reducing agents are Thioglycolic acid and Cysteamine. Compare to Cysteamine, Thioglycolic acid has a strong reducing power.

Tattoo ink

Will the pigments turn red, orange, blue, or purple when deposited into the skin?

They won't. Because we use high-quality ingredients and focus on color balance, lightfastness, and pigment concentration, our shades only lighten slightly as they heal. They will never change color.

Secondary Numbing

Can I use numbing products on sensitive skin? Is it safe? Are there any potential side effects?

The ingredients we use are very safe, with anti-allergic effects, and under normal circumstances there are no side effects. However, based on individual differences, it cannot be ruled out that some people may experience temporary redness or irritation in some areas. We recommend patch testing before handling and following product instructions to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.
