What are Powder brows?
Powder Brows are a form of cosmetic semi-permanent makeup that creates a very natural and soft filled-in look to one's eyebrows, much like an eyebrow pencil would look. Powder Brows defines the shape and follows the contour of one's natural facial structure and brow line. Permanent pigments are placed into the upper layer of the skin by use of a tattoo pen. It is a "tattoo", but is more superficial than a classic tattoo in that it does not penetrate pigment as deeply into the skin's layers, resulting in minimal pain or discomfort. Powder Brows are not the same as "microblading" that uses a micro blade to make cuts into the skin to mimic actual hairs, but rather creates multiple tiny pigmented "dots" giving a more filled-in, soft powdery look. Powder Brows are considered 'semi-permanent" in that, in time, the pigment will fade and touch-ups may be needed in 1-3 years to maintain the depth of color and shape.
There are many factors that contribute to hair loss and the need for Powder Brows in women and men. Some factors include:
- Hormonal changes
- Genetics
- Years of overplucking and removal
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Chemotherapy
- Alopecia
- Normal aging of hair follicles
Powder brows is an excellent choice for those who want to enhance their look yet don't want to do any daily upkeep. There are a few contraindications for Powder Brows, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, being on chemotherapy, and a history of serious skin diseases, but most people are excellent candidates for Powder Brows.
