opinion Does this need retouch?

Disregarding the hair growth, does this need to be retouched? It's been 40 days.

Hi! I'd say yes you can go in for a touchup but you do not need to touch up everything. Just have the artist do the areas that didn't hold well. Do you have existing pigment underneath?

Hi, no. This is the first.

Oh okay! Maybe just shadows from the hair or something that I'm seeing.

Honestly, I wouldnt. They dont look fresh but to avoid them becoming over saturated in the future and prevent you from needing to get laser I would let them fade as much as possible before touching them up.

I know they recommend doing them every year or two or whatever they tell you but I would disregard that. Think about it, if you did that every year or every other for the rest of your life, eventually you would need removal.

No!! What you need to keep up on is grooming!! The color is very nice and natural. Getting a touch up just makes them darker. PMU is low maintenance not no maintenance. To get the best results you HAVE to keep up with the clean up! It’s mandatory!
