"Wake-up to perfect brows, every day"

what is semi- permanent eyerbows?

Semi-permanent eyebrows, also known as ombre/powder or combination brows, are a cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the shape, fullness, and appearance of your natural brows or sparse brows. In addition to enhancing your natural beauty, semi-permanent eyebrows can also correct asymmetry and restore lost brows due to over-plucking, ageing, or medical conditions like alopecia/ cancer treatment loss. The treatment is fully customisable, with techniques such as ombré shading or a combination of hair strokes and shading to suit individual preferences. After the initial session, a follow-up appointment is typically scheduled 4-8 weeks later to perfect the shape and colour, ensuring the best long-term results. Unlike traditional tattooing, the pigments used are formulated to fade naturally, preventing any unnatural or harsh lines as the brows gradually soften over time as well as pigment breakdown from your body. This allows the results to gradually fade over time, typically lasting between 12 to 18 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine.

The process begins with a consultation to determine the ideal brow shape and colour that complements your natural features, fitzpatrick and goal. Using a machine, your brow artist carefully creates hair-like strokes or a soft, shaded effect to mimic the appearance of fuller, more defined brows. The procedure is minimally invasive and often involves numbing to ensure maximum comfort.

Semi-permanent brows are perfect for individuals looking to save time in their beauty routine, as they eliminate the need for daily eyebrow makeup application. They are also ideal for those with sparse, uneven, or thinning brows, as well as anyone who wants to achieve a more polished and symmetrical look.

As the pigment fades over time, touch-ups are recommended every 12 to 24 months to maintain the desired results. With semi-permanent eyebrows, you can enjoy natural, long-lasting brows that enhance your appearance, without the hassle of constant upkeep saving y7ou time and money.

Pre-Care

Prior to you brow procedure think about the look that you wish to achieve. As experts in the field of colour analysis, we ensure that the correct colours and style are chosen for you, however you are apart of the decision- making process. Permanent Make-up procedures require multiple application sessions, to achieve the best results you will be required to return for at least one control procedure between 4-8 weeks after the initial treatment. Be prepared for the colour intensity to be significantly sharper and darker immediately after treatment. This will subside and become softer as the skin heals, this process can take up to 14 days with healing still continuing up to 4 weeks where resurfacing of the colour will be complete.

GENERAL ADVICE:

Hydrate and Exfoliate: Begin hydrating and exfoliating your brows a few days before the procedure to ensure they are soft and smooth. You can use a gentle sugar scrub and follow it up with a nourishing mouisturiser/balm.
Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from consuming alcohol, caffeine, aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications or supplements (like fish oil and vitamin E) alcohol at least 48 hours before your appointment. These can increase bleeding and swelling during the procedure also affecting the final healed results.
Stay Away from Fillers/ botox : Avoid getting fillers at least 4 weeks before your appointment. The body need time to settle and heal before undergoing another procedure.
No Chemical Exfoliants or Laser Treatments: Do not use any chemical exfoliants (like AHAs or Retin-A) or undergo laser treatments around the brow area for at least two weeks before the procedure. These can make the skin more sensitive and prone to irritation.
