How successful the treatment will be depends on:

***Color retention and results are vary and cannot be guaranteed ***

What to expect after brows or other permanent makeup services:

- Treatment is done by using sterile and disposable tools, while pigments are of the highest standard (PhiBrows microblading pigments).

- Touch up is done 4-8 weeks after the treatment as 10-30 %of strokes are lost after the first treatment. Inserted pigment is very dark during the first 5 to 7 days. 7 days later, it loses up to 40% of its intensity.

- If you think that pigment is too dark, do not try to fade it by yourself. Be patient, first wait for 7 days until it fades away naturally. Be aware that some thin scabs and try skin will be flecked off after 1 week

- For how long the pigment will be retained mostly depends on the skin oiliness. The oilier the skin is the shorter pigment retention is. Sweating and sun exposure also affect pigment retention. On average, expected time until new refreshment of pigment is 10 to 12 months. If the skin is oily, it is 6 months. Healing is completely done 28 days later and then it is necessary to add the pigment that was lost in the meanwhile. If the skin is problematic and oily, several such corrections can be made and at an additional cost
