How Often Should You Touch Up Your Permanent Brows?
Permanent brows shouldn’t be permanent forever—and that’s actually a good thing. Your brows are meant to evolve with your face, style, and age. The key to keeping them looking fresh? Knowing when to touch them up.
When to Schedule a Touch-Up
A general rule: wait until your brows have faded by around 70%. For most people, that happens between 12–18 months after their initial session. But the exact timeline depends on:
Your skin type (oily skin fades faster)
Sun exposure
Skincare habits (exfoliants, retinol, etc.)
👉 If you're starting to fill in your brows again or they’re looking a bit dull—it's time.
Why Touching Up Too Soon Can Backfire
We get it—when your brows start to fade, the temptation is real. But too-frequent touch-ups can lead to:
Pigment buildup (think dense, saturated brows that lose softness)
Loss of shape precision
Harder corrections later
Instead, wait until your brows are truly ready. This allows us to:
Add definition without heaviness
Adjust the color to suit your skin's current undertone
Make shape refinements based on your features
How to Keep Your Brows Looking Beautiful

✔ Avoid strong acids or retinol around the brow area
