Powder Shading Brows

The discomfort is different for everyone and is due to each individual's level of sensitivity. Topical anesthetic is applied for numbing during the procedure and every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Typically, many clients say that it is no more painful than tweezing or threading.

•It is highly recommended that you avoid SUN and TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE your procedure. If you show up for your appointment with a new tan or a sunburn, you will need to reschedule and will be charged a rescheduling fee of $250.
As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the pigment with it.

•NO Botox for 2 months prior to Powder Ombre Brows, and No Botox 4 weeks after (We recommend that it's best to wait until after your touch-up heals to get Botox because an educated Injector will take your new brows into consideration when choosing where to inject.)

 •Avoid washing the treated area for the first 24 hours.

•After the first day wash with mild natural fragrance-free cleanser (such as Cetaphil) and water.-- and pat dry. Hands must be freshly clean . Avoid use of abrasive washcloths or sponges on pigmented areas. 

•Apply Aquaphor with freshly washed hands and a clean Q-Tip or a tissue. 

•Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for 1 week after your procedure. Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyper pigmentation and scarring.  

•Avoid pools, saunas, steam rooms, hot showers and/or hot baths for 1 week.

•Avoid sweating for a full 3 days. Any physical effort, gym, hot weather, any other activity that may cause sweating through or on the brows will expel pigment from the dermis producing poor results. 

•Avoid sleeping on your face/brows for the first 5 days.

•Avoid sun for 5 days following the procedure and chlorine pools, saunas and jacuzzis.

•Avoid makeup on pigmented areas until brows are fully exfoliated.

•Avoid Retin A, Glycolic Acids, Aloe, Accutane and Vitamin E products. Avoid ANY exfoliation products or medications until after your final touch up.  

•Avoid tinting of brows for 3 weeks following the procedure.

•Allow eyebrows to air dry or gently pat dry with a tissue before applying the Aquaphor.

•The procedure may have some peeling on or around the 3rd day. This is a NORMAL process of healing for some clients. DO NOT PICK or SCRATCH... picking/ scratching can cause scarring and loss of pigment. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off.

•During weeks 4-8 when the skin completes healing, you will see the pigment become more visible. Brows are not considered healed until 4 weeks after the initial service and after all crusting has exfoliated off. A touch up session will be scheduled approximately 8 weeks after your initial appointment in order to achieve the desired color and the shape. The application of permanent cosmetics can be a 2-step procedure. Do not judge your procedure while in the HEALING stage.
