You’ve just had your permanent makeup (PMU) done, and you're loving the results. So, why do we still recommend a touch-up appointment? At Ink n Beauty in Fort Worth, we want you to know that touch-ups aren’t just optional—they’re vital for long-term beauty and consistency.

1. Your Skin Heals Uniquely

Everyone’s skin heals differently based on factors like age, skin type, and how well aftercare instructions are followed. A touch-up allows us to adjust pigment that may have faded or healed unevenly.

👉 Even the best artists can’t predict exactly how your body will retain pigment after the first session.

2. Enhances Color Retention

The initial procedure lays the foundation, but the touch-up deepens and refines the color. This helps lock in the pigment and ensures the shade stays vibrant and even.

👉 Think of it like sealing your look.

3. Refines Shape and Symmetry

Minor tweaks to the shape or fullness can be made during the touch-up. Whether it’s adjusting a brow arch or balancing eyeliner, it’s all about perfection.

4. Increases Longevity of Your PMU

Skipping the touch-up can lead to faster fading and uneven wear. Completing your PMU process with a second session can extend the life of your brows, lips, or eyeliner by months—or even years.

5. Gives You a Chance to Speak Up

The touch-up is your opportunity to give feedback. Want a slightly darker brow? A crisper lip line? This is the perfect time to personalize your final result.

How Soon Should You Schedule It?

We typically recommend your touch-up 6–8 weeks after your initial appointment. This allows the skin to fully heal while giving us a clear view of how the pigment settled.
