Powder Brows or Ombré Brows is a Microshading technique that is done with a single needle and machine and only goes over the very surface of the skin making the Ombre’ Method much less invasive than Microblading. Tiny pixels of pigment are created underneath the skin to create a shaded “filled in” or powder look effect. The term Powder Brows is given the name because once healed the brows will look like they are filled in with makeup and or powder.
Ombre Brow technique can give you a gradual dark to light shaded effect. Unlike Microblading you won’t have empty spaces left to fill in your brows you will have the natural shaded look. This technique is for all skin types. Initial 4-12 week touch-up is included. Yearly touch-ups can vary, most clients require touch ups every 1-3 years. Touch-up frequency can vary based on the client’s lifestyle and after care.
