FAQ

HOW SHOULD I PREPARED FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

• Must be 18 years old. Please bring photo ID.

• It is okay to fill in your brows before if you wish for me to see how you like to wear them daily. 

• No Botox treatments should be done 3 weeks prior or 4 weeks after procedure

• No chemical peels 60 days before or after procedure (brows will peel quicker due to chemicals traveling under the skin)

• No Retinols/Retin-A or other anti-aging/acne creams, or serums containing acids as these will fade brows prematurely before or after 

• Do not work out or sweat heavily the day of the procedure (or 2 weeks after) this includes all activities that produce sweats

HOW IS POWDER BROWS DONE?

With powdered brows, instead of merely using strokes to fill in eyebrow hairs, the needle is used to draw both dashes and dots on the targeted area. The pigment is deposited onto the skin, which causes it to last longer than the “scratches” of microblading.

ARE POWDER BROWS WORTH IT?

Yes, that's years. Unlike other eyebrow procedures, ombré brows are achieved through the insertion of pigment under the dermis. Because the pigment is placed deeper in the skin, it takes longer to wear and fade. But, really - a minimum of twelve months of ditching the brow pencil is certainly worth considering

CAN YOU COMBINE MICROBLADING AND POWDER BROWS?

YES we called it “hybrid” brow or “combination” brow where you combine both microblading and powder brow techniques. The results look beautiful when hair strokes are at the front of the brow and the powder blush is going through the rest of the brows.”

WHO SHOULD GET POWERED BROWS?

This semi-permanent technique is the suggested and preferred method for those people who have oily skin, since this skin type does not hold the pigment of microblading very well. More mature skin types also respond better to this brow-filling method due to their loss of collagen. Less collagen means the skin is thinner, which means that the microblading technique feels more painful and invasive than when you get ombre brows.

WHO SHOULD NOT GET POWDER BROWS?

1. Pregnant Or Breastfeeding
We do not recommend this because it is not worth taking a risk for your child
2. Keloid Scars
We do not want to touch keloids because they may have scar tissue built up beneath the skin and do not want to take that risk of cutting that area of the skin.
3. Autoimmune Diseases
Due to your compromised skin health.
4. On Blood Thinner Or Have Bleeding Disorders
Pinpoint bleeding is normal, whereas excessive bleeding is not. If you are on blood thinners this could allow you to bleed too much which will make it more difficult to implant the pigment into the skin. The pigment will be pushed out and the microblading process will be very difficult to achieve.
5. On Accutane Within The Last Year
Accutane extremely thins the top layer of your skin. We want your skin to be at its normal healthy self during microblading and also so it can heal properly.
6. Botox Within The Last 2 Weeks
If you’ve gotten botox near your brow area it is best to wait the 2 weeks before getting microblading because that is when the injected substances have fully settled on the facial muscles.
7. Stop Retinol/Retina 1 Week Prior
If used too close to the procedure date then this may allow your brows to fade quicker which we do not want!
8. Sunburnt Or Have Dermatitis
You must be completely healed from both of these before your appointment because if not then your skin will flake, resulting in loss of pigment from microblading.
9. Chemical Peels, Facials, Microdermabrasion 4 Weeks Prior
These are to be avoided because the outer layer of the skin is removed. Removing the top layer of the skin will result in loss of pigment in your new microbladed strokes.
10. Allergic To Nickel, Lidocaine, Epinephrine
We use a tiny blade made of nickel that cuts the skin so we do not want you having an allergic reaction during the procedure. Also, the numbing agents we use contain both lidocaine and epinephrine so we do not want you having a reaction to these either.
WILL NEED DOCTOR’S NOTE IF:
– Diabetic:
Your microblading may heal slower and may be more at risk for infection.
– Had chemotherapy within the last year:
Your immune system is compromised. 
–Taking seizure or other medication:
Many medications have effects on the body so you will want to ask your doctor to make sure this is safe for you.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER THE PROCEDURE?

The aftercare is not complicated, but it does require some diligence to provide the best possible powder brow results. Powder Brow aftercare includes frequently applying a specialized cream Aquaphor in the early stages of healing and making sure absolutely nothing else comes in contact with the eyebrow area. Activities involving sun exposure, water, and even exercise to prevent perspiration, need to be avoided. It is imperative to follow the aftercare instructions to get the best possible healed results. DO NOT rub or pick the healing area as the color will peel off prematurely. And avoid extreme heat, sweating, and contaminated bodies of water (such as saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, pools). Avoid using heavily fragranced soaps. No makeup should be applied directly on the brows during the healing process.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL?

Superficial healing should take more or less 7-14 days. However, this could differ from person to person. There might be some scabbing within this period. Make sure not pick or remove any of this. You will expect to see the full results after a month.

CAN I STILL HAVE POWDER BROWS DONE ON ME IF I ALREADY HAVE AN EXISTING EYEBROW TATTOO?

This depends on how saturated the old eyebrow tattoo is. If it is light enough, we can work over the old tattoo to correct the shape and color. However, you have to keep in mind that there might be some limitations with the results since the artist has to take into consideration the shape and/or color of the previous eyebrow tattoo.
