Case Studies

Real Skin. Real History. A Better Way Forward.

Permanent makeup changes over time. Pigment can fade, shift in color, blur, or accumulate through repeated procedures. What you see on the surface is only part of the story.

At DCPC, case studies document the process of assessing existing permanent makeup and exploring the most appropriate path forward. Depending on the individual case, that may involve saline fading, correction, or rebuilding the brow’s shape and color.

Each case is different. The approach depends on the existing pigment, the skin, the previous work, and the outcome we are working toward.

Who Should Apply?

I’m looking for clients with existing eyebrow permanent makeup who may benefit from a documented case study, including people with:

  • Older brow tattoos that no longer suit their features.
  • Pigment that has faded, shifted in color, or become too dark.
  • Strokes that have blurred or spread over time.
  • Pigment buildup from repeated procedures.
  • Brows that may need fading before correction or redesign.

You do not need to know which procedure you need before applying. The first step is an assessment.

What Participation Involves

Case study participation is a collaboration. Selected applicants must be willing to document the process through photographs and, where appropriate, video. This material may be used for educational content, social media, and DCPC’s professional portfolio, subject to the agreed terms and permissions.

The process may involve multiple appointments, healing periods, and reassessment before the next stage. Results and timelines vary by individual.

Case study participation is not a free model session. Pricing is determined privately after reviewing your case. Participation in the documented process is part of the agreement.

Apply for a Case Study

If you have old permanent makeup you no longer feel good about, there may be a path forward.

Submit an application through the DCPC booking link. Include clear, unfiltered photographs of your brows and any relevant information about previous procedures, approximate dates, and removal or correction attempts.

Applications are reviewed individually. Submission does not guarantee selection or a particular treatment recommendation.

You do not have to keep living with brows you no longer recognize as your own. Let’s assess what can be done.
