Eyebrow tattoo correction: what is it for and how to do it?
What girls and women do not do, striving to be beautiful. Cosmetics and other face and body care products are used. Every day, representatives of the beautiful half of humanity have to spend most of their time applying cosmetics to their face. To cut down on the time, they started doing permanent eyebrow makeup. After this procedure, the eyebrows look natural and beautiful. Not many people know that after this procedure, correction is needed, so it is worth discussing what it is for and whether it is possible to do without it.
What it is?
Before visiting the salon, many girls have questions about the tattoo make-up procedure, its durability, and pain. To answer these questions, let's find out what constitutes an eyebrow tattoo. First of all, it should be noted that permanent make-up is carried out only in the salon, there is no way to do the procedure at home. In the process, a special dye mixture is used. The work is as follows:
- the master injects the mixture shallowly under the skin to a depth of no more than 0.8 mm;
- the depth of ink injection is determined by the master, taking into account the individual characteristics of the client's skin.
When applying permanent makeup, the dye mixture penetrates shallowly into the skin, therefore, after a while, it is gradually washed out and discolored.
The paint can stay on the eyebrows for 1.5 to 3 years. The timing may be different, taking into account the individual characteristics of the skin, the type of dye mixture.
In addition, the color fastness will be lower if the client often visits the pool, swim in salt water, sunbathe in the sun, visit the solarium.
Before carrying out the procedure in the salon, the master must tell you how to care for the eyebrows after it, after what period the crusts will fall off, and how to treat the wounds. An experienced master should also explain that about a month after the procedure, it is necessary to carry out a correction, and what it is for.
When applying a tattoo, the master finds out when it is convenient for the client to make an appointment for the correction. It is advisable to carry out the procedure with this master, who knows the characteristics of your skin, the composition of the paint. In addition, the salon usually provides a discount on repeat procedures in the salon.
When is it needed?
A month later, the client must come for a correction, during which the master evaluates the result. By this time, the healing stage ends, the crusts fall off, and the color of the pigment can already be fully assessed.
It is advisable to have an eyebrow tattoo done in a salon that has a good reputation. Perhaps it will cost a little more, but the client will not be disappointed with the result of the work done.
Often, clients, trying to save money or for lack of time and desire, do not visit the master to carry out the correction, but without this no one can guarantee how long the tattoo will last, whether its contour will be even and clear.
Errors during the procedure can occur both for a novice master and a professional, because they are difficult to predict during the first procedure. After complete healing of wounds and removal of crusts, you must come to the salon for consultation and correction.
A repeat visit to the wizard is necessary for several reasons.
- For correcting and aligning the drawing.
- After the crusts have fallen off in some areas, the paint may take worse than necessary, so gaps are possible. The wizard corrects these shortcomings, adds color and brightness to the eyebrows.
- To increase the area or to correct a shape, bend or contour. A month after tattooing, clients are not always happy with the result and ask to tweak their eyebrows a little.
- A visit to the master is necessary if, in the process of work, severe swelling appeared, which led to asymmetry. The master must correct the flaws and make the eyebrows symmetrical.
Many clients do not want to make adjustments because they find this procedure painful. Of course, when applying the tattoo for the first time, the pain can be quite noticeable, but when applying the changes again, the procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, and the sensations will not be so unpleasant.
At the request of the client, during the repeated procedure, the master can:
- change the outline and make it a little paler, or, conversely, make it brighter;
- change the shape of the eyebrows;
- change the color tone.
Sometimes situations arise in which clients are unhappy with the result, and after a week they come to the salon to correct the tone or shape of the eyebrows. This is not worth doing, since the color can finally appear after 2-3 weeks. In addition, the skin has not yet completely healed, and it is not yet possible to carry out the correction.
Each person has his own characteristics, so the timing of the correction may be different. Often in women, the coloring pigment can change color and discolor in unnatural shades. All these shortcomings can be corrected by the tattoo artist during the correction.
