So you’ve invested in beautiful PMU (permanent makeup) brows—Congrats! Waking up with perfectly shaped, full brows every day is one of the best time-saving luxuries. But like any beauty treatment, maintenance matters. Touch-ups play a key role in keeping your brows looking fresh, natural, and long-lasting.
In this post, we’ll break down:
Why PMU brows fade over time?
When to schedule your touch-up?
What to expect during a touch-up appointment?
How to make your results last longer?
Why Do PMU Brows Fade?
Permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing, but unlike traditional tattoos, it’s designed to fade naturally over time. This allows for shape adjustments, color corrections, and subtle enhancements as your face naturally changes.
Fading can be caused by:
Sun exposure
Skin type (oily skin fades faster)
Skincare ingredients like retinol and acids ("anti-aging" products)
Lifestyle factors (swimming, sweating, exfoliating, etc.)
Most clients will notice a softening of their color and definition within 12–18 months.
What Is a PMU Brow Touch-Up?
A touch-up is a maintenance session designed to:
Re-intensify pigment
Correct minor fading or color shifts
Sharpen shape and borders
Fill in areas where retention was lighter
How Often Should I Get a Touch-Up?
Most clients benefit from a yearly touch-up to keep their brows looking crisp and defined. Some may need it sooner depending on skin type or lifestyle. Others may prefer to wait longer if their brows have held well.
Pro tip: Book your touch-up before the brows have faded too much—if they’re nearly gone, you may need a full rework rather than a quick refresh.
Tips to Make Your Brows Last Longer
Here’s how to maintain your PMU brows between visits:
Use SPF daily on your brows to protect against UV fading Avoid active skincare products like retinoids and AHAs directly on brow area
No picking or peeling during healing
Avoid chemical peels, lasers, and microdermabrasion on the brow area
Schedule annual maintenance before your brows have faded too much
