No. SofTap pigments are 100% carbon free and therefore do not turn grey or ashy over time.
Inorganic pigments may fade warm over time. SofTap has a proprietary manufacturing process that has been refined over 35 years to create the most stable inorganic pmu pigments on the market; for a more true-to-color fade and ideal long-term healed result.
No modifiers necessary. Every pigment has been pre-balanced to heal as true-to-color as possible, straight out of the tube.
Yes. The SofTap manufacturing process has created a formula that is creamy and smooth and lab-refined to implant easily with machine and hand method tools. If you find the pigment a little too thick, you may dilute with a few drops of dilution solution.
SofTap pigments are proudly manufactured in our FDA registered facility in Livermore, CA, USA.
There are many factors that affect long-term retention, but we typically recommend touch-ups every 1-3 years to keep the procedure looking fresh.
