The word permanent must be applied to micropigmentation because anytime a foreign matter is introduced into the dermal layer of the skin, that skin has been permanently altered.  All colors fade in time and the procedures need to be refreshed periodically.  Lighter colors will fade faster than darker colors.  The procedures can last from one to ten years or more depending on many factors.  Many clients refresh their procedures each year.  Returning clients to Closeups pay 1/2 the price of the original procedure.
