- Complete Healing Process: Your skin needs adequate time to heal completely after the first session. This process typically takes several weeks, and it is essential for avoiding complications and ensuring that the skin is in the best condition for additional work.
- Color Stabilization: During the initial weeks after the procedure, the color of your PMU will go through several phases, from appearing darker to lightening as the skin heals. It takes time for the pigment to settle fully and reveal the final shade. Waiting allows us to accurately assess the true color and determine any adjustments needed.
- Skin Regeneration: Your skin undergoes a natural regeneration cycle which can impact how the pigment is held in the skin. Allowing this cycle to complete ensures that your skin is ready to receive more pigment, optimizing the touchup results.
- Optimal Results: By waiting the recommended period, we can better see how your skin has absorbed the pigment and healed, allowing us to make necessary refinements to achieve the perfect look you desire.
- Longevity of Results: Proper timing between the initial session and the touchup contributes to the longevity of the PMU, providing you with beautiful, lasting results.
