At Jaudon Sunde Permanent Cosmetics, we understand that many of our clients are concerned about the longevity of their ombre brows. Ombre brows are a semi-permanent brow styling procedure that may fade faster than anticipated due to a variety of circumstances.
Skin Type: Our team understands that the lifespan of ombre brows heavily depends on an individual’s skin type. Particularly, those with oily skin types may experience faster fading as excess oil can cause the pigment to blur or spread, diminishing the color’s sharpness and intensity. Similarly, dry skin may also affect pigment retention.
Sun Exposure: We advise our clients that direct sunlight can dramatically speed up the fading process. Your skin’s pigment is broken down by UV rays, which is why the color fades. Therefore, we recommend applying a good quality, high SPF sunblock on your brows to protect them from sun exposure.
Frequency of Exfoliation: We also educate our clients about the impact of their skincare routine on their ombre brows. Using exfoliating products on or around your brows, like retinol or glycolic acid, can speed up your skin cell turnover, causing your brows to fade more quickly.
Age and Metabolism: As medical professionals, we understand that with age, our skin’s metabolism slows down, which can lower pigment retention. Conversely, a faster metabolism may also contribute to quicker fading.
Medications or Conditions: We consider the effects of certain medications, such as antibiotics or anticoagulants, which can interfere with pigment metabolism and cause faster fading. Furthermore, skin diseases such as eczema or psoriasis might impair pigment absorption and retention.
Improper Healing: We provide clear aftercare instructions to our clients to ensure the longevity of the ombre brows. If these instructions are not followed properly, it could lead to premature fading.
Insufficient Pigment Depth and Quality of Service: We guarantee the quality of our pigment and the expertise of our technicians. If the pigment is not implanted deeply enough, or the technician isn’t experienced, the treatment may not last as long.
Lastly, there are a few possible reasons why your ombre brows might be fading more quickly than you anticipated. Our team is always available to provide personalized advice to help you maintain your beautiful brows.
At Jaudon Sunde Permanent Cosmetics, we offer a range of cosmetic procedures, including the popular ombre brows. This semi-permanent cosmetic procedure gives a soft, misty, powder-filled brow similar to the look of makeup. However, to maintain your perfect brows, touch-ups are required. Here are some factors that will influence the frequency of your ombre brows touch-ups:
Skin Type: Your skin type plays a crucial role in how long your ombre brows will last. You may require additional touch-ups more frequently if you have oily skin because the oil might accelerate the breakdown of the pigment. However, if you have dry skin, your pigment may last longer, requiring fewer touch-ups.
Pigment Retention: Individual differences exist in pigment retention, which is impacted by age, way of life, and sun exposure. Some clients naturally retain pigment well, prolonging the vibrancy of their ombre brows, while others may require more regular touch-ups.
Technique and Pigment Used: We use advanced techniques and high-quality pigments for your ombre brow procedure. This ensures enhanced longevity of the procedure. However, the frequency of touch-ups can still vary based on the specific technique used.
Initial Healing: The initial healing process is crucial for the longevity of your ombre brows. We will offer you extensive aftercare guidelines to reduce scabbing and improve pigment retention.
Desired Results: Your preference for how you want your brows to look will also influence the frequency of touch-ups. If you like a more dramatic look, you may require more frequent touch-ups.
General Guidelines:
Generally, most clients require an initial touch-up 4-8 weeks after the initial procedure. This helps enhance the color and shape of the brows. Subsequent touch-ups can range from 6 months to 1 year, depending on your factors. For instance, touch-ups may only be necessary every 12–18 months for people with dry skin, but they may be necessary every 6–12 months for individuals with oily skin.
We highly recommend consulting with our experienced cosmetic professionals when deciding on your touch-up schedule.
Ensuring that your ombre brows look their best for as long as possible is our ultimate goal. However, it’s important to understand that semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos, like ombre brows, can fade over time. This is primarily due to natural skin regeneration, healing, and exfoliation processes causing the color implanted into the dermis to fade. This fading, though, can be influenced by several factors:
• Skin Type
• Age
• Lifestyle
• Aftercare
• Technique and Pigment Quality
Despite these factors, uneven fading is a common occurrence and usually becomes less noticeable as the brows heal and the pigment settles. However, if you notice significant uneven fading, we strongly recommend that you consult with our professionals for a touch-up or advice on how to best maintain your ombre brows.
Certain lifestyle factors can also hasten the fading process. Frequent exposure to the sun or tanning beds, as well as the use of skin care products containing active ingredients like retinol and glycolic acid, can accelerate skin cell turnover and cause the pigment to fade.
To ensure the longevity of your ombre brows, it’s crucial to take proper care of them post-procedure. This includes avoiding water contact for at least a week, refraining from intense workouts that cause heavy sweating, and not picking or scratching the brow area.
Throughout their lifespan, your ombre brows may undergo slight color changes, becoming somewhat lighter or taking on a more natural-looking shade. However, the overall shape and definition should remain intact.
Unlike traditional eyebrow tattoos, ombre brows utilize a lighter hand and more natural-looking pigments which fade over time without leaving a permanent discoloration. They do not completely disappear, but they do gradually fade.
In terms of maintenance, regular touch-up sessions every 12 to 18 months can keep your ombre brows looking their best. These appointments involve adding more pigment to the existing brows, ensuring they remain vibrant and defined.
