Healed permanent makeup is softer than appointment-day color.
Fresh vs. healed
Fresh pigment often looks darker, brighter, or more defined than the healed result. Healed results vary by skin type, lifestyle, previous permanent makeup, pigment retention, and aftercare. See the FAQ on touchups.
Touchups are part of the process
Some services need a follow-up appointment to refine color or shape after healing. Confirm timing and current touchup pricing on Vagaro or through the relevant service detail page.
Follow the instructions you are given
Aftercare can influence retention and softness. Use the instructions provided for your specific service, and ask questions if anything feels unclear. Review before-your-appointment prep if you have not booked yet.
