The healing process for Ombre Powder brows can be emotional rollercoaster for many. The treatment area is on your face and they go through many phases of healing, therefore, it's important for you to understand what to expect after the procedure has been completed.
Immediately after the procedure
The brows will appear dark, bold and thick. Brows are always darker and slightly larger in size initially because the healing process causes the brows to lighten and shrink slightly.
In the next several days
The brows will continue to darken even more then it will appear as if there's a thick layer on top. This is normal because in the first 24-48 hours, the brows are considered an open wound. Lymph fluid will begin to excrete from the wound to try to remove any foreign bodies and then in the next couple of days, a scab is going to start to form. This is similar to when your body has a wound and a dark and thick scab begins to form on top as part of the healing process. Itchiness can be expected as a side effect of the scab formation.
After approximately one week
That thin crust scab that has been forming will begin to crack and dissolve. Pieces will begin to fall off naturally. Please allow the scabs to fall off by themselves, do not pick, pull or tug on them. Everyone heals at different rates. A longer healing process may be due to the immune system. More mature clients usually take longer to complete the healing.
After approximately two weeks
The scabs should almost be done falling off if they haven't completely fallen off yet. After the thin crust has fallen off, the brows will appear light and or patchy. The color of the brows is currently lighter than what it will be once the 4 week healing process is completed. The brows will be slightly lighter and dull during this time period because there is a layer of dead skin that still exists on top. This layer of dead skin will shed off eventually.
After approximately one month
At this point, the layer of dead skin should have completely shed off and the epidermis layer of the skin should have completely regenerated and regained its initial thickness (more on the layers of the skin later). The brows should be completely healed at this point.
