HOW LONG DOES MICROBLADING LAST?
Microblading lastS 6-12 months.
Notice that it will depends on skin type, skin conditions and after care protocols followed by the client.
For oily skins the pigment wont last longer than 6 months (in most cases). The oilier the skin, the shorter pigment retention is. More touch-ups will be needed in this case.
DO I NEED A TOUCH-UP AFTER MY FIRST SESSION?
Yes, you will need a touch up 30-60 days after your first session.
The strokes loose 20-25% of pigment during the healing process. It is necessary to add the pigment that was lost in the meantime.
Notice that if the skin is problematic and oily, several corrections can be made.
