What are Ombre Powder Brows?
Ombre Powder Brows also referred to as powder brows or micro shading, is a type of eyebrow enhancement that is done with a small machine that gently creates pixelated dots to mimic a soft shaded brow pencil look. This procedure is minimally invasive and can be customized as build-able from light to dark. Powdered brows have a soft makeup look and work great for clients with all skin types and tones.
Does the procedure hurt?
A topical anesthetic is used to numb your skin during the procedure, so discomfort is very minimal. Every client is different and pain tolerance varies by client but most clients describe the pain level as a slight burning, astringent like sensation- very tolerable and worth it! Anesthetic is also reapplied as needed throughout the procedure so your experience is as comfortable as possible.
How long does the procedure take?
The process takes approximately 3-4 hours from the moment you walk in the door to completion of your beautiful new brows. The first hour or so is spent designing your new brows and numbing the area. There is no downtime! Occasionally, some clients will have some slight redness and swelling around the area which is very normal and will subside within a couple of hours. Most clients go on about their normal day when they leave their appointment. A touch up appointment is required 6-8 weeks after your initial appointment to perfect your brows.
How long does ombre brows last?
This will vary by client. If aftercare instructions are followed diligently, your new brows will last approximately 12-24 months on average before they're mostly faded; 18 months is average. For some people, their brows will last even longer, and some less. Certain factors such as sun exposure and tanning beds, getting chemical peels,oily skin type, bleeding, etc., will affect whether your brows will last on the higher or lower end of the expected 12-18 months. We recommend one touch up per year to keep them fresh.
