WHAT ARE OMBRÉ BROWS?
OMBRÉ BROWS is a semi-permanent shading technique that is darker at the tail & lighter at the front. The result is similar to makeup, yet gives a natural appearance. The process is done using a handheld, automatic machine that inserts pigment into the skin. Permanent makeup has the potential to last up to 3 years (depending on clients’ ability/discipline to follow the before/after care instructions & depending on physiological factors of the body). Excellent for ALL skin types!

HEALING PROCESS
Healed results vary. Healed results depend on skin. Your brows should be fully healed 4-6 weeks after the procedure. The following is an example of what to possibly expect during the healing process:
Day 1-4:
Immediately after the procedure, your brows will look much darker.
Brow area will be sensitive and tender.
Swelling & redness is normal and should subside within 24-48 hours. At this point, you may take Tylenol, but avoid Aspirin or Ibuprofen as those may cause blood thinning.
Day 3-7:
Brows may begin to scab.
Brows may be much darker.
Itchy brows, do not scratch! Apply the ointment.
Day 5-10:
Brows may still be itchy.
Possibly patchy.
Brows may fade about 20%-50%.
