The artist performs the powder brows procedure in two or more sessions, starting with the initial procedure, and then scheduling touch-ups. This approach ensures the achievement of the desired shape, colour, and density of the brows.

Typically, the artist schedules the touch-up sessions 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure, during which they can make adjustments or corrections if necessary.

2. Are There Any Specific Products That I Should Avoid During Ombre Powder Brows Aftercare?

During the healing process of ombre powder eyebrows, avoid certain products that can cause irritation or fade the pigment.

Avoid scrubs, acids, and other exfoliating products for at least two weeks after the procedure, as they can cause irritation and fading of the pigment.

3. When Can I Wash My Eyebrows After Ombre?

After getting an ombre powder brow, avoid getting the treated area wet or applying any products to it for at least 24-48 hours. This allows the pigment to set and heal properly. After the first 24-48 hours, gently cleanse the area with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, and dry it with a clean towel.

4. How Can I Tell If My Ombre Brows Are Healing Correctly During The Different Stages?

During the ombre brows healing, it is important to pay attention to the colour, scabbing, and overall healing of the area. Here are some things to look out for during the ombre brows healing stages:

  1. The area will be red and swollen, and the colour will appear darker than the final result. This is normal and will subside in a few days.
  2. The area will start to scab and may itch. It is important to resist the urge to scratch or pick at the scabs as this can cause scarring and loss of pigment.
  3. The scabs will start to flake off and the colour will start to lighten. This is normal and the final colour will not be visible until the healing process is complete.
  4. The area should be fully healed and the final colour will be visible. If you are unhappy with the colour or shape, it is best to wait at least 6-8 weeks before making any touch-up appointments.

5. When Can I Wear Makeup After Powder Brows?

Wait 24 to 48 hours after powder brows before applying makeup on top of the treated area. This will allow the pigment to be fully set and the skin to heal correctly. After this waiting period, you can apply makeup as usual, but use a clean brush or applicator to avoid infection.
