IMPORTANT AFTERCARE ADVICE

The aftercare of your treatment is imperative. In order to keep your permanent makeup in a good condition, it is necessary to have a retouch every 6-24 months.

With all new permanent makeup treatments, you are advised to return 6-12 weeks after your initial session for a complimentary retouch if needed and to check colour retention.

Permanent makeup is an art and every skin is different. We cannot determine your exact outcome, which is why your retouch session is so important as it allows for any potential alterations.

Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine you will have much better results with your permanent make up.

**Important – All pre-care and aftercare apply again for your touch up appointment**
