What to expect
Facial Mapping & Custom Color Selection
We measure your facial proportions to map a tailored brow structure, selecting custom pigment shades to complement your skin tone and hair color.
Topical Numbing & Precision Pixel Shading
A primary topical numbing agent is applied for comfort before building light, layered pixel passes across the brow map using a digital nano-needle handpiece.
Final Mirror Reveal & Essential Aftercare Guidance
We inspect the shade gradient together, apply a protective healing balm, and outline step-by-step aftercare instructions for your 6-week touch-up.
Plan your visit
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, aspirin, ibuprofen, and blood-thinning supplements for 24 to 48 hours prior to your session.
- Discontinue active retinoids, harsh chemical peels, and brow tinting or waxing for at least 14 days before your appointment.
After your appointment
- Keep brows completely dry for 7 to 10 days—avoid heavy sweating, saunas, long hot showers, and direct facial water spray.
- Do not pick, scratch, or rub dry flakes or scabs as your brows heal; allow them to shed naturally to preserve pigment integrity.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Powder Pixel Brows and Microblading?
Microblading uses a manual blade to slice micro-cuts into the skin, simulating individual hair strokes. Powder Pixel Brows use a digital machine needle to deposit tiny dots of shade, resulting in a soft, powdered makeup look that lasts longer and works on all skin types (especially oily skin).
Are Powder Pixel Brows painful?
Most clients experience minimal discomfort and compare the feeling to an electric toothbrush vibrating against the skin or a light scratch. We apply medical-grade topical numbing creams before and during the procedure to ensure you remain comfortable throughout.
How long do Powder Pixel Brows last?
Powder Pixel Brows typically last 2 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Annual color boosts are recommended to keep the shade fresh and vibrant.
What is the healing process like for powder brows?
Initial healing takes 7 to 14 days. Brows will appear bolder and darker for the first 3–5 days before light flaking occurs. Once flaking ends, the pigment will temporarily appear lighter before rising back to its soft, final healed tone over 4 to 6 weeks.
Is a touch-up session required after the initial treatment?
Yes, a 6-week perfecting touch-up session is recommended. Permanent makeup is a two-step process: the touch-up allows us to fill any light patches, refine shape symmetry, and adjust shade density once your skin fully heals.
