The quality of the pigment
One of the main reasons why permanent make-up does not stay in place is the quality of the pigment that is used. Cheaper pigments are often of lower quality and contain fewer colour pigments. As a result the pigment can fade more quickly and the result can be less beautiful than when using higher-quality pigments.
The skills of the specialist
In addition, the skill of the specialist can also play a role in whether or not permanent make-up stays in place. A good specialist not only has knowledge of the right pigments, but also of the right techniques to introduce the pigments in the right way.
If the pigments are not applied at the right depth in the skin, the pigment will fade more quickly. A good specialist will also take the client's skin condition into account and choose the best technique for the desired result.
The client's skin condition
In addition, the client's skin condition also plays a role in whether or not permanent make-up stays in place. Oily skin, for example, can hold pigment less easily than dry skin.
It may also be that the client's skin is too thin for permanent make-up, which means the pigment does not stay in place well. A good specialist will always check the client's skin condition before the treatment is started.
The client's aftercare
Lastly, the client's aftercare is important for the retention of permanent make-up. After the treatment it is important to follow the specialist's instructions.
This includes avoiding make-up during the first days, applying cream regularly and avoiding exposure to sun, sauna and swimming pool. Without good aftercare the pigment can fade more quickly.
Conclusion
There are various reasons why permanent make-up does not stay in place, including the quality of the pigment, the skills of the specialist, the client's skin condition and the client's aftercare.
