Celebrate Brow Perfection with Ombre Brows

ombre brows

Ombre brows, also known as powder brows or shading brows, are a popular semi-permanent makeup technique used to enhance the appearance of eyebrows. This technique involves the application of thousands of tiny dots of pigment to create a soft, powdered effect that resembles the look of filled-in eyebrows.

The process of getting ombre brows begins with a thorough consultation with a professional technician. During the consultation, the technician will assess the client’s natural eyebrow shape, skin tone, and personal preferences to determine the most suitable color and shape for the ombre brows.

The procedure starts with the application of a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. The technician then uses a specialized handheld device, typically a cosmetic tattoo machine, to deposit the pigment into the superficial layers of the skin. Unlike traditional eyebrow tattooing, where hair-like strokes are created, ombre brows create a more diffused, powdery appearance by layering the pigment.

Benefits of Ombre brows

Natural and Soft Look: Ombre brows provide a soft, powdery effect that mimics the look of filled-in eyebrows. The technique is especially beneficial for individuals with sparse or thin eyebrows, as it creates the illusion of fullness and density.
Long-Lasting Results: Ombre brows are a semi-permanent solution, meaning they can last for an extended period, typically between one to three years, depending on various factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. This eliminates the need for daily eyebrow makeup application.
Suitable for Various Skin Types: Ombre brows are suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry, and combination skin. The technique is especially popular among individuals with oily skin, as the powder effect helps to absorb excess oil and maintains a more consistent appearance throughout the day.

WHO SHOULD AVOID OMBRE BROWS

Pregnant or Nursing Women: It’s generally recommended that pregnant or nursing women avoid cosmetic tattooing procedures, including ombre brows. While there’s limited research on the safety of the pigments and the procedure during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, it’s best to err on the side of caution.
Individuals with Skin Conditions: People with certain skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, may not be suitable candidates for ombre brows. These conditions can affect the healing process and the appearance of the tattooed area.
People with Keloid Scarring Tendency: If you have a history of keloid scarring (raised, thick scars), you should be cautious about any form of cosmetic tattooing, as it may increase the risk of keloid formation.
Individuals with Allergies to Pigments: Allergic reactions to tattoo pigments can occur, although they are relatively rare. If you have a known allergy to any of the pigments used in ombre brows, you should avoid the procedure.

How long does the ombre brow procedure take?
The ombre brow procedure usually takes about 2-3 hours, which includes the time for consultation, numbing, and the actual application of the pigment.
Is the procedure painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. A numbing cream is usually applied to the area before treatment to minimize any pain.
How long do ombre brows last?
Ombre brows can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. A touch-up session may be recommended after the initial procedure to maintain the color and shape.
What is the aftercare for ombre brows?
It's important to keep the area clean and avoid picking at the scabs that may form. You should also avoid excessive sun exposure and refrain from using makeup on the brows until they have fully healed.
Are ombre brows suitable for all skin types?
Ombre brows are generally suitable for most skin types, but it's best to consult with a certified technician to determine if it's the right option for you.
How much does it cost?
The cost of ombre brows varies depending on location and the technician's expertise. Prices can range from 200 CHF to 450 CHF or more.
Can I still wear makeup after getting ombre brows?
Once your brows have fully healed, which typically takes about 2-4 weeks, you can wear makeup as usual. However, the need for filling in your brows should be reduced or eliminated.
What are the risks involved?
Risks include infection, allergic reactions, and poor results if the procedure is not done by a trained and certified technician. Always do your research and consult with a professional before undergoing the procedure.
How do I prepare for the ombre brow procedure?
Avoid using skincare products that contain retinol or glycolic acid for at least a week before the procedure. It's also recommended to refrain from alcohol and blood-thinning medications 24-48 hours before your appointment.
How is ombre brows different from microblading?
Ombre brows focus on creating a soft, shaded look, whereas microblading replicates the look of individual hair strokes. The ombre technique is often preferred for those who want a fuller and more filled-in appearance without daily makeup.
Can I exercise after the procedure?
It's recommended to avoid heavy sweating for about a week after the procedure. This is to prevent the salt in sweat from fading the pigment prematurely.
Will my brows look unnatural immediately after the procedure?
Right after the procedure, your brows may appear darker and more intense than the final result. This is normal. They will lighten and soften as they heal.
What if I don't like the results?
The results will fade over time, but if you're unhappy, it's best to consult with your technician. They might offer solutions like touch-ups or color adjustments.
How often will I need touch-ups?
After the initial touch-up, which is typically done a few weeks to a couple of months after the initial procedure, most clients return for a touch-up every 12-18 months to keep the brows looking fresh.
Is there any downtime after the procedure?
here's no significant downtime, but you'll need to follow aftercare instructions closely for optimal results. Some redness or swelling is normal immediately after the procedure.
Will the procedure scar?
When performed by a trained and certified technician, ombre brows should not cause scarring. The technique only impacts the superficial layers of the skin.
Can I get ombre brows if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
It's typically recommended to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding before undergoing any semi-permanent makeup procedure.
What kind of pigments are used?
Brand name : Perma Blend, Professional-grade pigments made specifically for semi-permanent makeup are used for ombre brows. These pigments are designed to fade over time and are different from tattoo inks.
Ombré Brows After care
- Keep the Area Clean: Gently clean the microbladed area with sterilized water on a cotton pad, dabbing lightly to remove any excess lymph fluid. This helps to minimize scabbing.
- Avoid Getting the Area Wet: Keep the brow area dry from water for at least 7-10 days. This includes avoiding long showers, swimming, and excessive sweating.
- No Makeup or Skincare Products: Avoid applying any makeup, creams, or serums on the brows for at least a week or as advised by your technician.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep the brows protected from direct sun exposure. Sun can cause the pigment to fade prematurely and can also lead to inflammation.
- Do Not Pick or Scratch: As the area heals, it may scab or flake. Do not pick at the scabs as this can pull out the pigment and affect the healing process.
- Apply Healing Balm: Your technician might recommend a specific healing balm or ointment. Apply it as directed, typically a thin layer once or twice a day.
- Sleep on Your Back: Try to sleep on your back to avoid putting pressure on your brows and risking the smearing of the pigment.
- Avoid Certain Activities: For the first 10 days, avoid activities that can cause excessive sweating, swimming, hot sauna, hot bath, or jacuzzi, sun tanning, and salon treatments.
- Avoid Exfoliating Agents: Stay away from exfoliants, anti-aging acids, or any aggressive treatments on the brows for at least a month.
- Use a Fresh Pillowcase: To avoid infection, sleep on a clean pillowcase.
- No Facials or Botox: Avoid facials, botox, chemical treatments, and microdermabrasion for a few weeks.
- Touch-up Session: Attend the touch-up session as scheduled with your technician, usually 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment.
- Report Any Signs of Infection: If you notice any signs of infection like excessive redness, swelling, or pus, contact your technician or seek medical attention immediately.
