The only disadvantage is the relatively high cost of the procedure. On average, in studios in Melbourne and Brisbane, a cosmetic eyebrow tattoo with powder eyebrow tattoo will cost 450 AUD plus 50% for the correction, which must be done a month after the procedure. It is not recommended to use the service cheaper, as a low price may indicate incompetence of the master or save on pigments, equipment or sterility, which may entail relevant risks. It is difficult to say that a cheap service will yield a 100% positive or negative result. But, as our experience shows, clients who have had bad permanent tattoos done for less than $200 have regretted that leap.

The consequences of the work of inexperienced masters were prominent. At least in such cases, correction is required. On the one hand, a comma is a minus a comma; since it is necessary to repeat the procedure and spend this money partially, the correction usually costs 50% of the cost of permanent makeup; on the other side of the – “+” since the sentence will most likely help eliminate the shortcomings.

The powder brow tattoo treatment is performed in stages:

  • Since a woman’s appearance depends on the chosen sketch, colour and shape, the master performs a consultation. Everything is discussed: pigment shade, intensity, filling, “stretching” technique (for example, it is now fashionable to introduce dye from light to dark shade, eyebrow shape, and so on. the master can suggest options based on the condition of the face, colour and body of eyes, hair and skin;
  • A sketch is made. The eyebrows are adjusted, excess hairs are plucked, and the shape is corrected. The master discusses the design with the clients and fine-tunes it to a complete agreement;
  • The next stage is antiseptic treatment and anaesthesia. Various ointments, gels or sprays are used for this. Lidocaine or another drug based on it can be used for anaesthesia. Although powder eyebrows refer to a procedure with minimal skin injury. Skin damage is unavoidable, as is pain. To minimise any discomfort, the technician applies an anaesthetic twice. The first time before the treatment, the second time during the procedure.
  • The procedure itself consists of creating microdots through which the pigment is injected. A particular device with a thin R1 needle on end is used for this procedure. This achieves a shadowy, smoky effect. The Teri pigment is applied softly and gently.
  • At the end of the procedure, the doctor prescribes a disinfecting and healing cream, aftercare recommendations, and makes an appointment for the mandatory correction that must be done about a month after your first visit to the permanent makeup studio.

Relative contraindications include pregnancy and lactation due to changes in hormonal levels in a woman’s body at this time. The master can’t guarantee that the pigment will be taken up in the right amounts. Therefore, clients during this period do micropigmentation at their own risk. He also recommends opting for another type of permanent make-up if there are many grey hairs or bald patches on the eyebrows. Powder eyebrows can only partially cover such imperfections, provided the grey hairs are tinted.

How powdery eyebrows heal ?

After a powder eyebrow procedure, the healing and recovery process of the skin is not different from the process that occurs after microblading or feathering eyebrow. Swelling and redness may appear in the first few hours – this is a normal skin reaction to multiple punctures. Once the skin begins to heal, the comma may flake off. If the flaking is minimal, the healing process is proceeding correctly. A doctor should consult if the crusts are rough, raising blood or on the side. It is strictly forbidden to remove the crusts from the skin yourself.

 

 A slight itching sensation may occur as the dermis heals, the most important thing is not to scratch the eyebrows, but if you feel like a comma, you can gently run an ear stick across the eyebrows. It should help. The skin healing period is about 5-7 days. The skin fully regenerates and renews itself in a month if provided proper aftercare.

When healing the dermis, a slight itching may appear; the point is not to scratch the eyebrows, but if you want a comma, you can gently walk along the brow zone with the help of an ear stick.

I should not dry skin that has injured so that the resulting crusts are soft in the future. Do it is necessary to treat the skin with chlorhexidine and, if necessary, apply emollients to the skin as recommended by the master. Ideal, in this case, is petroleum jelly or another special cream, ointment. It must gently apply to the skin with a thin layer with light movements.

Importantly! After the procedure, you must wait 2-3 hours and not wash off the healing agent. After that, wash it off with baby soap, soak the comma with a soft lint-free cloth and apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly. Later, petroleum jelly or any other ointments can not use at all. The skin will heal on its own without problems and complications. In the first 2-3 days, contact with water should avoid introducing bacteria through open wounds. It is also not recommended to use any cleanser.

What facial procedures should be avoided

Scrubs and peels can only be done after one month when the skin fully recovers.

what not to do during skin healing

Postpone planned trips to saunas and baths. Direct sunlight can negatively affect injured skin. Also, once it has healed, it is advisable to apply sunscreen before going out in the sun. And don’t forget to wear a wide-brimmed hat if you plan to stay in the sun for a long time.

The most important aspect is the preparation for the procedure. You should also be aware of this.

How to prepare for powder brow tattooing?

powder eyebrows before and after

Proper preparation for the powder brow procedure determines the body’s reaction to the foreign substance and how the pigment will take root. so that the result does not disappoint expectations, a comma is necessary:

  • A week or at least several days before the procedure, it is advisable to avoid alcohol and energy drinks;
  • A few days before the process, stop taking blood thinning medication, antibiotics and other blood-based medication;
  • Do not adjust eyebrows, pluck hairs or colour them.

How long does powder eyebrow last?

Eyebrow tattoo lasts 1.5 – 2 years. The full term of the comma is impossible to predict, as it is individual and depends on the body. In such a short period of time the effect is due to the use of mineral based pigments. During this period, the dye gradually absorbs. It will sink in over the course of several years. It dissolves completely.

On the one hand, this is a big plus, because after a while the procedure can be done again, changing the shade, the form of saturation of the comma or trying another type of permanent make-up. The disadvantage is that the procedure is only for those who want a longer lasting effect.

It should be understood that there are several factors that will cause the pigment to lighten slightly faster. These include :

Firstly, the skin type and its peculiarities. Oily and porous skin loses pigment much faster;
Secondly, the peculiarities of the immune system. The higher the immune system, the more likely it is that the stain will be removed faster;
Thirdly, age. The older the woman, the slower the lighter the pigmented spot gets.

In almost 100% of cases, the masseur will book the client in for a correction after the first treatment. It’s an additional compulsory procedure that:

  • Extends the duration of the powdery eyebrow effect. During the correction, the pigment is reintroduced, due to which it is better “fixed” under the skin;
  • Corrects flaws formed during the skin healing process (gaps in the pigment, lightening of the pigment shade, changes in the shape of the eyebrows, etc.).

The first cosmetic tattoo treatment for powdered eyebrows can be called skin familiarisation. How the body will react to a foreign substance and how it will perceive it is unknown. Therefore, it is not always possible to immediately get the result that one would like. However, correction solves this problem in a jiffy. It can be used to even out the colour, remove imperfections, correct the shape and achieve a perfect result.

Can a powder technique overlap a traditional tattoo?

Due to the peculiarities of powdered eyebrow spraying, it is rarely possible to overlap a classic tattoo. Sometimes craftsmen will take on such work, but no one guarantees a one hundred per cent result. In addition, it is likely necessary to make several corrections to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, removing the tattoo via laser correction is more accessible than performing the brow powdering procedure. 

The depth of the water pigment under the skin is complex with overlapping. In the case of the classic tattoo, dyes are injected to a depth of 1.5 mm. The powder eyebrow technique implies an underpainting to a depth of 1 mm. Therefore the shade of the pigment introduced during the creation of delicate eyebrows may not be visible. If, on the other hand, the stain has gone more profound than a comma, there is a good chance that the colour could take on unexpected shades of red, blue or even green over time. But this is not a fact. It’s all individual and depends on the skin and the body as a whole.

The difficulty of overlapping lies in the depth of the water pigment under the skin. When performing classic tattooing, dyes are injected to a depth of 1.5 mm. The technique of powdery eyebrows assumes here the tint to a depth of 1mm. Therefore, the shade of the pigment introduced when making delicate eyebrows may not be visible. If the stain entered deeper than the comma, then there is a high probability that the colour may eventually acquire an unexpected shade: red, blue and even green. But this is not a fact. Everything is individual and depends on the characteristics of the skin and the body as a whole.
