Ombré Powder Brows

---

Powder brows, or ombré powder brows, is treatment that uses a special shading technique for achieving a natural looking eyebrow with a powder effect. It uses a combination of dots and shading to fill in the brows. making them look thicker and more symmetrical. The result is powdery brows that'll give your face a make up look.

Since the procedure involves inserting tiny dots of pigment gradually into the skin, making sure their are no harsh edges but a soft and smooth shading effect, your brows will be a bit swollen and too dark immediately after the appointment.

The healing process takes about 14-20 days, during which you need to be extra careful about your brows.

Heres what you can expect during the healing process:

Day 1&2:

Your brows are too dark and they look like a block of pigment, also redness is present and they might be swollen. You might not be satisfied, but be prepared for this.

Day 3: 

The first thing you will notice is scabbing. After the appointment scabs peel off in one big or a few big pieces.

Day 4-10:

This period is the most difficult to overcome, scabs falling off, leaving your brows in patches.

Your brows are itchy but under no circumstances should you scratch or touch them. Carry on with the aftercare and be patient.

Day 10-14:

Your brows look too light and you must think that the whole process has been unsuccessful. Scabs are not that common anymore. The healing process is almost over.

Day 14-20

Your brows are coming back! They are taking their final shape and look much better. However, they might still look a little bit uneven. Now that your brows are healed its time to book touch up appointment to correct any possible patches and flaws.
