Powder Brows
WHAT TO EXPECT
Powder Brows are typically completed in two sessions, with a refinement appointment approximately 4–6 weeks after your initial treatment.
Immediately after your appointment, your brows will appear darker, sharper and more defined than the final result. This is completely normal. As the skin heals, the color will soften and may lighten by up to 30%, revealing a softer, more natural powder finish.
Your final healed color is influenced by your skin tone, skin type and lifestyle. Because pigment is implanted into the skin, results are customized to complement your natural coloring and features rather than creating a one-shade-fits-all brow.
You may experience some mild redness or swelling immediately after treatment. This usually settles quickly, but I recommend avoiding important social plans for a day or two if you prefer to allow your brows time to settle.
Beautiful brows are a process — the refinement appointment is where we perfect the final shape and color.
Pre-Procedure Instructions
If you normally require medication before dental procedures, please take it as directed on the day of your appointment.
Organ transplant recipients are not eligible for permanent brow procedures without medical clearance.
Avoid aspirin, green tea, vitamin E and herbal supplements for 3 days before your appointment, unless prescribed by your doctor.
If you are currently undergoing cancer treatment, please wait until your treatment is complete and obtain medical clearance before scheduling.
Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before your appointment.
Avoid caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment.
Women on or near their menstrual cycle may experience slightly more bleeding during the procedure.
Numbing agents may also be less effective during your menstrual cycle. If this is a concern, please consider scheduling your appointment for another time.
Eyebrow tinting should be completed at least 48 hours before your Powder Brows appointment.
Avoid waxing or tweezing for at least 48 hours before your appointment and electrolysis for at least 5 days before.
If you have recently had Botox in the brow area, please allow it to fully settle before your Powder Brows appointment. If you are due for Botox, have your brows completed first.
