Ombre Powder Brows

Care/Instructions

What is Ombre Powder Brows?

Ombre Powder is a permanent eyebrow procedure that produces the look of shaded brows that is darker at the tails and lighter at the front.

The Ombre Powder technique gives a gradient powdered effect that is misty in the front. This allows the brows to be individually customized to be soft and natural or bold and defined, like a filled-in makeup look.

Unlike traditional brow tattoos that can be harsh and blocky, Ombre Powder brows produce more realistic-looking results due to its soft, misty fronts. The effects will be waterproofed, smudge-proof, and sweat-proof brows that are beautiful and realistic.

Pre-Care:

Avoid Botox in the treatment area for 4 weeks prior to the appointment. Botox takes about 2-4 weeks to settle, therefore, the Ombre Powder appointment should be scheduled at least 4 weeks after. Failure to do so may result in asymmetry once the Botox has fully settled.
Avoid facials 2 weeks prior to the appointment and 2 weeks after the appointment. This includes harsh/strong facials such as microderm- abrasion, chemical peels, laser facials, etc. Strong facials will cause the skin to be sensitive prior to the appointment. Mild at-home facials such as sheet masks and mild clay masks are okay.
Avoid strong skincare that contains retinol/retinoids, vitamin A, AHAs, etc. on the forehead area 2 weeks prior to the appointment and 2 weeks after the appointment.
Avoid excessive sun exposure a week before the appointment and until the healing process has completed. This includes sunbathing, tanning, etc.
Avoid facial oils around the forehead area a week before the appointment. Excessive oils may result in poor healed results and extended appointment time.

After Instructions:

KEEP THE AREA CLEAN

The most important thing during the healing process is to keep the area clean. Avoid touching the treatment area and absolutely avoid picking or pulling on the brows during the healing process. Itchiness is normal and expected. Please allow the brows to naturally fall off. No makeup or skincare products should be applied on the brows or near the brows until the healing process has completed.

NO WATER CONTACT

Strictly avoid any water contact on the brows for 7 days. This includes sweat and recreational bodies of water. Please avoid working out for a week.

OINTMENT

Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment only if the area itches a lot.

DIRECT SUNLIGHT

Avoid excessive sunlight for at least 2 weeks. This includes sunbathing, tanning, etc.

LONG-TERM CARE

For better retention and results, please avoid excessive sunlight and apply sunscreen on the healed treatment area. Please avoid applying any active skincare products that contain anti-aging properties and exfoliants around the treatment area. This includes skincare products that contain retinol, vitamin A, AHA, glycol acids, salicylic acid, etc. After a year, it is expected for brows to lose their color freshness and begin to slightly look dull. Annual touch ups are recommended to freshen up the color of the brows and to maintain the shape.
