Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Retouch (6–12 months).

A typical Retouch (6–12 months) appointment lasts 45–90 minutes. That includes a short consultation, mapping, topical numbing, the touch-up work, and aftercare review. Timing varies with extent of corrections and client comfort.

Yes — during a Retouch (6–12 months) we can adjust color depth and refine shape within the existing design. Minor changes are safe; major redesigns may require a full consultation and additional sessions to ensure balanced results.

Discomfort is minimal for most clients. We apply topical anesthetic and work gently to minimize sensation. You may feel light pressure or sensitivity during the procedure; we pause as needed and provide aftercare to reduce irritation.

We recommend booking your Retouch (6–12 months) between six and twelve months after the initial procedure. This timing allows pigment to settle and skin to heal, ensuring accurate color correction and effective long-term retention.

Initial surface healing takes about 7–14 days, with scabbing and fading typical. Full color settling occurs over four to six weeks. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and pigment retention.

If you’ve had recent sunburn or active tanning, please wait to schedule Retouch (6–12 months). Sun-damaged or freshly tanned skin can affect pigment uptake; we’ll assess your skin and recommend the best timing for safe touch-ups.
