OMBRE POWDER BROWS

Semi - Permanent brows typically last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on various factors before needing a touch up

1. Skin Type: Oily skin tends to break down pigment faster, potentially shortening the lifespan of the brows.

2. Aftercare: Proper aftercare significantly affects how long the pigment lasts. Following the technician's instructions for post-care can extend the lifespan of the ombre powder brows.

3. Sun Exposure: Exposure to sunlight and UV rays can cause the pigment to fade more quickly. Using sunscreen on the treated area can help preserve the pigment.

4. Body Metabolism: Everyone's body metabolizes pigment differently. Some individuals might retain the pigment longer than others.

Touch-ups or refreshers may be required periodically to maintain the desired color and shape. These touch-ups help in keeping the ombre powder brows looking fresh and vibrant for an extended period.

Immediate Post-Procedure: Immediately after the session, the brows may appear darker and more pronounced than the intended final result. Some redness or mild swelling around the treated area is normal.

Initial Scabbing or Crusting: Within a few days, the skin in the treated area may start to scab or crust slightly as it heals.

Color Evolution: Over the next 1-2 weeks, the intensity of the pigment will gradually fade as the skin begins to heal. The color will soften and settle into the desired shade, resembling a powdered makeup look.

Complete Healing: Around 4-6 weeks post-procedure, the healing process is usually complete. The true color of the brows will become more apparent, and a re-touch appointment can be done at this stage.

• Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications for 48 hours before your appointment. Consult your doctor if necessary.

• No Alcohol or Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours before your appointment to minimize the risk of bleeding and swelling.

• No Brow Grooming: Avoid tweezing, waxing, or threading your brows for at least a week before the procedure. Your technician will shape them as needed.

• Avoid Retinol & Exfoliants: Stop using retinol, glycolic acid, or other exfoliating products on your brows for at least a week before the appointment.

• No Botox: Avoid Botox or other facial injections for at least two weeks before your appointment.

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your brows from the sun and avoid tanning for at least a week before the procedure.

• No Facial Treatments: Avoid facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion for at least two weeks before your appointment.

• Arrive With Clean Skin: Ensure your face is clean and free from any makeup, lotions, or oils on the day of the procedure.

• Plan Your Schedule: Be mindful that your brows will go through a healing process, so plan your appointment when you have a few days of downtime available

• Keep Brows Dry: Avoid getting your brows wet for the first 7-10 days. Use a clean cloth to blot around the area if needed.

• Apply Healing Ointment: Lightly apply a recommended ointment as directed by your technician, usually 2-3 times a day.

• Avoid Touching or Picking: Do not touch, scratch, or pick at your brows to prevent infection and uneven healing.

• No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup or any non-recommended products on or around your brows for at least two weeks.

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your brows from direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least four weeks. Use a hat or sunglasses for extra protection.

• No Sweating or Exercise: Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, as this can interfere with healing.

• Avoid Saunas, Pools, and Hot Tubs: Refrain from exposing your brows to steam, chlorinated water, or saltwater for at least two weeks.

• Do Not Sleep on Your Face: Try to sleep on your back to avoid pressure on your brows.
