What is a semi-permanent makeup brow procedure?

Everything you need to know about the Semi-Permanent Makeup Brows procedure.

First, let's start with the basics; powder brows are a permanent makeup style, like a semi-permanent tattoo, to cut down on your morning/makeup routine.

There are different types of semi-permanent makeup, such as micro blading, powder brow, or hybrid. We will break down each procedure and what makes them different.

Powder Brows have fuller shading than micro blading. It creates a shading effect rather than strokes that look like hair.

This can be beneficial for someone with a decent amount of natural hairs in the eyebrow, who would like to shade in any uneven spots within the brow, or prefers an ombré effect.

The Powder Brow technique is slightly less invasive or painful than the micro blading technique. With the powder brow technique, the pigment is deposited in dots, much like your regular tattoo.

Micro Blading has more of a "natural hair" look by mimicking the look of eyebrow hairs semi-permanently tattooed onto the skin.

The technique is performed by creating small blade-like cuts onto the skin and depositing the pigment under the skin -much like a tattoo.

A hybrid is exactly what it sounds like, a combo of both techniques to provide shading and the appearance of additional hairlike strokes done with permanent pigments.

Now you are probably wondering why I keep referring to the treatment as semi-permanent when it's similar to tattoos.

The thing about semi-permanent makeup is that for it to be safe on delicate tissue such as the eyebrows, the pigment is free of heavy metals in traditional tattoos that last 10+ years.

The pigments we use are made for semi-permanent makeup and are higher quality grade pigments made for delicate tissues within the face.

That being said, touch-ups are usually required every 18-30 months after the first initial treatment (including the four-week follow-up) is completed.

After a service, you will be given after care instructions, and schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure all healing is happening as expected, and color correct anything that needs to be corrected.

This procedure will last you years, so ensuring you are happy with the results for years to come is part of the process.
