Topical Anesthetic Advice 

  • Allergic reactions can occur from any anesthetics used during the procedure. If you do suffer from an allergic reaction, you should contact your doctor immediately. Allergic reaction response may show through redness, swelling, rash, blistering, dryness or any other symptoms associated with an allergic reaction.
  • Numbness – We cannot accept responsibility if the area to be treated does not respond to the numbing cream. Each individual is different according to skin type. Some clients report the area to be completely numb, while others may experience some discomfort.
  • Procedure – For Ombré procedure, a numbing cream/gel is used. The products are formulated to be perfectly safe and can be purchased over the counter from any pharmacy/chemist. The anesthetic is placed over the treatment area for 20-30 minutes then carefully removed prior to treatment. As a result of the treatment, combined with the use of the anesthetic, you can expect to experience some redness/swelling that can last 1-4 days. You should always follow your post-procedure advice and after-care for the best results.

FAQs

  • What should I expect during the healing process after Ombré Brows?

    After your Ombré Brows procedure, expect the color intensity to initially appear darker and sharper, which will gradually lighten by 30-50% as the brows heal. You may experience redness and swelling for 1-4 days post-procedure. It’s essential to follow your technician’s aftercare instructions diligently for optimal results.

  • How many sessions are typically needed for Ombré Brows, and why?

    Ombré Brows usually require multiple sessions for best results. A follow-up appointment is recommended 4 to 6 weeks after the initial procedure to ensure even pigment distribution and to touch up any areas that may have faded unevenly. Clients with oily skin might need an additional touch-up session.
