Whether your microblading has faded, your powder brows need a color boost, or you want to upgrade your technique entirely—Korean artists can help you achieve perfect brows again.
Color Boost
Revive faded pigment and restore vibrancy. Korean artists match your original color or suggest updates to better suit your current style.

Signs You Need a Touch-Up
Initial vs Annual Touch-Up
The first touch-up (4-8 weeks after initial session) is typically included in your original price and perfects the initial work. Annual touch-ups (12-18+ months later) are separate maintenance sessions to refresh faded results. If you're visiting Korea and your brows were done elsewhere, we treat this as an annual/maintenance touch-up.

Korean Brow Touch-Up Process
Assessment & Consultation
We examine your current brows, discuss what you'd like to change or improve, and determine the best approach—whether simple color boost or more comprehensive refresh.

If shape adjustments are needed, we map out the refined shape. You'll approve all changes before we begin. We select the optimal color to match or update your look.
10-15 minutesNumbing Application
Numbing cream is applied for comfort. Touch-ups typically require less numbing time since the skin is already familiar with the procedure.
15-20 minutesTouch-Up Procedure
Your Korean artist refreshes the color, adds density where needed, and refines the shape. If upgrading techniques, additional work (like powder shading) is performed.
30-60 minutesReview & Aftercare
We review your refreshed brows together and provide aftercare instructions. Touch-up healing is typically faster and easier than initial sessions.

Korean Brow Touch-Up FAQs
A Korean brow touch-up is a maintenance session that refreshes faded semi-permanent brows. It can include color boosting (restoring faded pigment), shape refinement (adjusting the brow shape), adding density (filling sparse areas), or technique upgrades (like adding powder shading to old microblading). Touch-ups extend the life of your PMU and keep brows looking fresh and beautiful.
Most people need touch-ups every 12-18 months to maintain optimal results. Signs you need a touch-up include: noticeably faded color, patchy or uneven areas appearing, hair strokes losing definition, shape looking different than desired, or color shifting (turning gray, orange, etc.). The initial touch-up (4-8 weeks after first session) is typically included in the original price; annual touch-ups are separate maintenance sessions.
Absolutely! Korean artists regularly work on brows done by other artists worldwide—whether from the US, Europe, Australia, or anywhere else. They can refresh, correct, or enhance previous work regardless of where it was done. During consultation, we'll assess your current brows (please send a photo!) and determine the best approach, whether a simple color boost or more comprehensive correction.
Korean brow touch-ups typically cost $100-$250 USD depending on the extent of work needed. Simple color boosts start around $100-$150, standard refreshes with shape adjustments are $150-$200, and comprehensive corrections or technique upgrades are $200-$300. This is 50-60% less than USA prices ($200-$500+), making Korea an excellent destination for PMU maintenance.
Yes! Many clients use touch-up appointments to evolve their look. Popular conversions include adding powder shading to faded microblading (creating combo brows), transitioning from hair strokes to full powder brows, or enhancing existing powder brows with hair strokes at the front. Korean artists excel at these technique upgrades and can help you achieve a fresh, updated look.
A typical Korean touch-up session takes 1-2 hours depending on the work needed. Simple color boosts may take just 1 hour, while more comprehensive corrections or technique additions take closer to 2 hours. This is shorter than a full initial session (which typically takes 2-3+ hours). Healing is also typically faster and easier than after an initial session.
