What are Powder Brows?
Powder Brows are a type of cosmetic tattooing that gives your eyebrows a fuller, yet soft and natural appearance. The technique involves the application of thousands of tiny dots of pigment, inserted into the skin, gradually building up a color and a defined shape.
What to expect
The process begins with a consultation where we discuss your desired brow shape and color. A numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. The technician then uses a digital machine to deposit the pigment into the skin in a dotting technique, which gradually builds up the color and shape.
The procedure usually takes about two to three hours, and you can expect a sensation similar to a light scratching. Mild swelling and tenderness may occur but will subside quickly.
Recovery Process
The recovery for Powder Brows is minimal. Right after the procedure, the color will appear darker and more intense, but as the brows heal, the color will fade by approximately 30-40%, resulting in a soft, natural-looking brow.
During the healing process, it’s important to avoid getting the area wet, avoid makeup, and refrain from picking at the brows as they heal. Your technician will provide a detailed aftercare regimen to ensure optimal results and healing.
Expected Results
Powder Brows provide a soft, filled-in or ombre effect, much like the look of makeup. They’re especially beneficial for individuals with oily skin or those who want to achieve a soft-makeup look. The results typically last for 1-3 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and proper aftercare.
Who is a Good Candidate?
If you’re someone who wants fuller, natural-looking brows without the need for daily filling, Powder Brows might be a perfect fit for you. It’s suitable for most skin types. A consultation will help determine if this procedure is right for you.
