The creation of Powder Brows typically takes about 3 to 4 hours from start to finish. This includes the initial consultation, where the technician will discuss your desired brow shape and color, the mapping of the shape, the preparation of the skin and the actual implantation of the pigment.
After the initial treatment, a follow-up session is usually scheduled about 6 to 8 weeks later, which takes about 2.5 hours. This session is for touch-ups to refine the shape and color and fill any areas where pigment may not have settled.
Overall, you should expect to spend a few hours for the initial procedure and a shorter time for the follow-up, making it a manageable commitment for beautifully enhanced brows!

Clients looking for a fuller, more defined brow that resembles makeup applied with a brow pencil or powder.
- Pain and Discomfort: A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure, minimizing discomfort. Clients might experience slight discomfort during the process, but it’s generally well-tolerated.
Healing Process: Post-treatment, the brows will be darker for the first few days before fading into their final color after 4-6 weeks. There may be some slight scabbing as the skin heals, and it’s important to avoid picking at the area.
Aftercare: Clients need to follow strict aftercare guidelines, including avoiding water, makeup, and sweating on the brow area for about 10-14 days. Proper care ensures the pigment sets well and reduces the risk of infection.
