Pre-Procedure
OMBRÉ BROWS

PRE-PROCEDURE INFORMATION & ADVICE

Please thoroughly read the following information before your Ombré Brows appointment.

Treatment Sessions & Results

Ombré Brows usually take multiple sessions to achieve the desired look. Each client will need at least one retouch appointment, about four to six weeks after the initial procedure. Those with oily skin may require additional touch-up.

No guarantees or refunds. Healing will vary person to person.

Immediately after the procedure and for several days afterward, your brows will appear darker and more defined. This is a normal part of the process. As the area heals, the color will gradually soften and lighten by approximately 30–50%.

What to Expect

Despite the application of a numbing cream during the procedure, some sensitivity or mild discomfort may still be experienced. Redness and/or slight swelling can occur and may persist for 1–4 days.

To ensure optimal outcomes, kindly adhere to the following guidelines:

• Avoid wearing makeup on the day of your procedure.

• Refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment.

• Avoid consuming coffee on the day of your procedure.

• Avoid tanning and any sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks before your appointment (sunburns are not permitted).

• Refrain from shaping or waxing your eyebrows before your appointment. Your technician will shape them during the procedure.

TOPICAL ANESTHETIC INFORMATION

Allergic Reactions

Although uncommon, allergic reactions to anesthetics can manifest. Should you experience symptoms such as redness, swelling, rash, blistering, itching, or unusual dryness, it is imperative that you seek immediate medical attention from your healthcare provider.

Numbing Response

The response to numbing cream varies among individuals. While some clients experience complete numbness, others may experience mild discomfort. The extent of numbness achieved cannot be guaranteed.

Procedure Details

Prior to the procedure, a topical numbing cream or gel is applied to the treatment area for a duration of 20 to 30 minutes. This numbing agent is subsequently removed before the commencement of the treatment. The anesthetic products employed are deemed safe and are readily available for purchase over the counter.

Following the procedure, mild redness and swelling are expected and may persist for 1–4 days. To ensure optimal healing and outcomes, it is imperative that you diligently adhere to all post-procedure aftercare instructions.
