PMU FAQs
What Are Ombre Powder Brows?
Ombré brows is a cosmetic tattoo that mimics the appearance of eyebrow makeup. Using a machine, the brow is shaded darker at the tail and lighter at the front, creating an ombré effect.
What is the difference between Microbalding and Ombre Powder Brows?
Microblading: This technique is perfect for individuals with normal to dry skin types. It is a manual procedure that involves using a blade to scrape ink onto the forehead. The results of microblading can last for up to six months, but touch-ups may be required more frequently. The method creates the illusion of hair strokes that can gradually soften over time. This approach is particularly well-suited for those with normal to dry skin.
Ombré Brows: Suitable for all skin types, including those with oily skin, Ombré Brows involve the use of a machine to deposit ink onto the top layer of the skin. This technique produces a powder-like finish and can last for more than three years. Additionally, it is highly effective in concealing previous brow tattoos or microblading. Ombré brows are a fantastic option for anyone seeking long-lasting, natural-looking eyebrows.
How long will my brows last?
Your brows can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
Do Ombré Brows hurt?
Each individual has varying levels of sensitivity, and to reduce any potential discomfort during the procedure, topical anesthetics are utilized. These anesthetics are applied before and during the process, and can typically eliminate 85-99% of the pain. However, as this is a tattoo, it's important to note that some level of pain may still be experienced.
How long will my session take?
A typical PMU session can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the area being treated and the desired outcome.
What is the healing process like for PMU?
The healing process for PMU typically takes around 7 to 14 days. During this time, there may be scabbing, peeling, and fading of the pigment before the final result is visible.
Can PMU be removed?
While PMU is considered permanent, there are methods available for removing or lightening the pigment if desired.
