Why Does Permanent Makeup Change Color Over Time?

One of the most common issues people face with old permanent makeup is color fading or changing. Over time, brows that once looked perfect can take on an ashy, gray, or even blue tone. This happens because of the pigments used in earlier permanent makeup procedures and how they interact with your skin over time.

Years ago, permanent makeup pigments were not as advanced as they are today. Many older pigments were made with iron oxides, which can fade unevenly or turn gray due to skin type, sun exposure, or the natural breakdown of the pigment in the skin. Combined with outdated techniques that often placed pigment too deep in the skin, these changes become even more noticeable.

The Good News: Permanent Makeup Has Evolved!

Technology and techniques in permanent makeup have come a long way. Today’s pigments are more stable, fade more naturally, and offer a wide range of colors that are better suited to your skin tone. Modern tools also allow for more precise application, ensuring the pigment stays where it should and looks flawless for longer.

But here’s the catch: if you’re stuck with old permanent makeup, trying to fix it with new pigment on top doesn’t always work. Adding layers can create uneven results and make the problem worse. Instead of covering up or hiding the issue, the best solution is often to lighten or remove the old pigment to start fresh.

Why You Should Consider Lightening or Removing Old Pigment

If you’re tired of gray, blue, or faded brows, don’t feel stuck! Lightening or removing the old pigment allows for a clean slate. This way, you can embrace modern pigments and techniques for a look that feels fresh and natural. Whether it’s laser removal, saline removal, or a combination of both, removing the old pigment ensures the new work will look its best.
