For optimal results, a touch-up is highly recommended. After the first session, the pigment can lose up to 70% of its color. This occurs because the skin partially rejects the pigment during the healing process and is still undergoing recovery.
Reasons for a Touch-Up:
– Color Fading: After the first treatment, the pigment gradually fades. This is completely normal and expected. The touch-up helps to refresh the color and ensure longer-lasting results.
– Color Correction: Sometimes light spots can appear after the first session because the pigment may not have been evenly absorbed. During the touch-up, the specialist can fill in and correct these areas.
– Shape Adjustment: The first treatment is often a cautious approach to determining the shape. In the touch-up, the specialist can make minor adjustments to the shape and symmetry.
– Pigment Absorption: For certain skin types, like oily skin, the pigment may not absorb as well. In this case, a second session is essential to achieve the desired result.
