Attention:
It is recommend that a touch up is performed 12-18 months after your initial appointment to maintain the shape and colour. Skin cells turn over more frequently on oilier skin types causing the colour to fade quicker than drier skin types. For oilier skin types they may require a more frequent touch up.
