Why does the color appear darker after implantation?

Remember that in order to get a successful result, you have to fully control the consultation, the implantation process, the post procedure care and the ability to respond all the questions that might arise from the customer 

Many things happen during and just after a permanent makeup procedure. It is very important to know clearly that the final result will be seen after four weeks. However, it is common for clients to ask you about the dark tone of the pigment just after finishing the procedure.

About 10 minutes after implantation of the SofTap® colors, you will notice that  the color will appear darker. This is because the colors are mixing and reacting with oxygen, thus the phenomena is called OXIDATION. 


This is a natural occurrence and is nothing to worry about. Colors turn darker in the same way that a slice of apple does when it has been left out for a while. It is important to remember that color will heal lighter and more evenly than the color you see during the oxidation process.
When doing eyebrows, if the first brow you did appears darker than the second brow you just finished, just reassure your client that it just hasn't oxidized yet. The colors will heal to the perfect matching shades if you just work the same amount of time and implant at the same depth on each side of the face.

If your customer wants to know what the colors are going to heal , then you should show her a mirror during the first five minutes of your work. This is exactly what the color will heal to.
If a client has had to come in for a touchup for a missing spot, the color that is implanted in that spot is identical to the healed color that is surrounding it. Please remind your clients of the fact that the colors oxidize and turn dark.

We always tell my clients that the colors will oxidize by 30-40% during the next 3-4 days. 

After this, the color will lighten by 35-45% on approx. the 5th day and match the color that was first implanted in about a month.
