Your brows and eyeliner are an investment in beauty and confidence. Just like any investment, they require care and attention to ensure the best possible results. At Elizabeth Oakes Permanent Makeup Clinics, we recommend a Top Up Appointment within 4 weeks to 6 months after your initial treatment. Whether you’ve had your brows or eyeliner done, this follow-up session is a key part of the process to refine and perfect your results.
Over time, your skin naturally heals and regenerates, which can cause subtle changes in how the pigment settles. A top up appointment allows us to assess how your skin has retained the pigment and make any necessary adjustments. It’s not just about touching up faded areas—it’s about ensuring your results look their best for as long as possible.
1. Filling in Any Gaps
After your initial session, some areas may heal lighter than others due to natural skin regeneration. Pigment retention varies from person to person, and a top up ensures that any small gaps are filled in, giving you a smooth, even finish.
2. Enhancing Color and Definition
As your skin heals, the pigment may soften or lighten slightly. A top up allows us to refresh the colour and definition, whether you want a natural look or a bold, defined style. This step helps maintain the depth and vibrancy of your brows or eyeliner.
3. Customizing to Your Preferences
Once your brows or eyeliner have settled, you might find you want small adjustments to the shape, thickness, or intensity. A top up appointment is the perfect time to fine-tune your look and ensure it’s exactly how you want it.
4. Promoting Longevity
The pigment is designed to fade gradually over time, but a top up helps reinforce the color, making it last longer and fade more evenly. Skipping this step may result in premature fading or uneven colour retention.
5. Tailored to Your Unique Healing Process
Everyone’s skin is different, and healing can vary from client to client. Some people may retain pigment better than others, while some may need slight adjustments. A top up appointment allows us to personalize the treatment to your skin’s needs, ensuring the best and most natural-looking results.
What to Expect During Your Top Up Appointment
Your top up session will be much like your initial appointment but quicker. After discussing any adjustments you'd like, our skilled technicians will carefully enhance your brows to achieve the final look. The process is smooth, precise, and designed to make you feel confident.
How Often Should You Book a Top Up?
To maintain your brows' shape and colour, it is recommended to schedule a top-up every 12–18 months. This can vary depending on individual skin types, lifestyle factors, and the care you give to your brows.
Cost of a Top Up Brows Appointment
The cost of a top up appointment is €200, ensuring that your brows stay looking polished and fresh for as long as possible.
Aftercare Instructions
The aftercare for your top-up appointment is the same as the initial procedure. Following proper aftercare is essential to ensure the best results and longevity of your brows. Here are the key aftercare instructions:
Do not touch the healing pigmented area with your fingers: Your fingers may have bacteria, which can cause an infection.
Apply a thin layer of Vaseline once daily: Use a clean cotton swab to apply the Vaseline, not your fingertips. Continue until the area has healed (avoid applying to the eye area).
Avoid makeup, tinting of lashes or brows, sun exposure, soap, sauna, steam, exercise, Jacuzzi, swimming in chlorine pools or in the ocean.
Before bathing: Gently apply a light coating of Vaseline to the procedure area with a clean cotton swab. Continue this regimen until the procedure is completely healed.
Do not rub or traumatize the procedure area while it is healing: Pigment may be removed along with the crusting tissue.
Use sunscreen after the procedure area has healed: This helps to prevent future fading of pigment colour.
