Purpose of the touch up
A 9–12 month touch up is a scheduled maintenance session for permanent eyebrow makeup after the initial procedure. It addresses natural pigment fade and subtle shape changes that occur as skin and pigment settle. The appointment length is 150 minutes and the fee is $250, reflecting time for careful review and conservative adjustments.
Results at this interval are shaped by the healed baseline work and how pigment has aged on your skin. Waiting nine to twelve months lets the practitioner see healed color and any areas needing reinforcement, which reduces guesswork and helps refine symmetry without overworking the skin.
Scheduling and local convenience
Mai’s Beauti is located in downtown Walnut Creek, Suite 206, convenient for clients coming from Pleasant Hill, Concord, Lafayette, Orinda, Rossmoor, and Clayton. The central location near Broadway Plaza and the Lesher Center for the Arts makes it easy to combine an appointment with errands or events, and easy BART and I-680 access supports commuters booking early or evening slots.
Appointments are planned to allow consultation time, assessment of healed work, and the touch up itself within a single 150-minute session. Clients should expect a focused visit that includes review of prior results and clear aftercare instructions to support optimal pigment retention in the months that follow.
Factors that change outcomes
Several personal and environmental factors influence how the touch up holds: individual skin type, skincare routines, and sun exposure common to Walnut Creek’s warm, dry summers. Oily or exfoliating skin routines can accelerate fade; conversely, conservative sun protection and gentle skincare help maintain color longer. Discussing daily products and routines helps tailor the maintenance approach.
Lifestyle choices and the interval between appointments both affect how much correction is needed. A touch up at 9–12 months typically requires less work than a longer gap, but the exact maintenance plan depends on how the healed pigment has changed and the client’s preferences for definition and color intensity.
