POWDER BROW

Powder brow (also known as Ombre, Ombre Powder Brows, Shading, Microshading) is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo technique that is applied using a machine to provide a misty, powdered brow look. By using an ultra fine single needle, The results are completely customizable depending on what end result is desired. This service is best suited for clients that prefer a brow with more structure. Results can vary from a natural softly powdered effect, to a bold and defined makeup look. Powder brows age gracefully on any skin type, but is especially great for oily skin types.

To prepare for the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied (more numbing will be applied during as well to keep discomfort at a minimum). While the initial numbing cream is sitting, the consultation will take place. Shape, color, healing instructions, the brow’s healing phases, and any questions that come up will be covered during the consultation. The brows will then be designed on the face for approval, and any adjustments can be made before the tattoo is applied. Once a shape has been agreed upon, the procedure will begin. For most clients the tattoo application is near painless and goes by very quickly. For most clients, the length of the initial appointment is 2-2.5 hours. After the Powder brow has been completed, some clients will experience slight redness around the area, but no immense swelling. Once the numbing wears off it is very normal for the brows to feel a bit sore (similar to a sunburn), but that usually will settle by the end of the day.

There is a 7-14 day healing process but going about day to day activities will not be an issue. Taking off work is not necessary and normal life can continue while the brows heal. The complimentary 6 week touch up will be scheduled during the initial appointment. This touch up is where the brows are fine tuned and perfected, thickened if desired, and deepened in color if necessary. It is also very normal to have small gaps where the ink has naturally fallen out, and those areas will be taken care of as well. Once both sessions have been completed, it is recommended to come in every 2-4 years for a color refresh touch up.

ELIGIBLE WITH DOCTOR CLEARANCE AND NOTE

If any of the following apply to you, you may be able to receive cosmetic tattoo services. Providing a Doctor’s note is MANDATORY:

  • Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can complicate the healing process, with higher risk of infection. It is very important to check in with a Doctor to ensure the condition is stable and under control.

  • Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy medications can often weaken the immune system. This make the body more susceptible to infection and more difficult to heal. Once cleared from an oncologist, an appointment can be booked.

  • Thyroid conditions: The color of the brows can fade faster when taken with certain thyroid medications.

  • Glaucoma: The risk of developing an eye infection can be higher.

  • High Blood Pressure: Those with high blood pressure may have slightly greater bleeding than normal. Excessive bleeding could cause the ink not to stick properly and lead to poor healed results.
