Powder Ombre' vs Microblading

5 Reasons why you should consider having Powder  Ombre' Brows vs Microblading.

​

1. It's LESS INVASIVE! Ombre' powder brows are achieved using a small machine, which disperses extremely fine dots of pigment evenly into and across the skin in an airbrush or shading technique.  Microblading uses a hand-tool that creates incisions or small cuts into the skin.  Over time, repeated incisions into the same spots will cause trauma to the skin more quickly.

​

2. LESS PAIN & BLEEDING!  Ombre' powder brows are less painful due to the airbrush-like technique we apply which creates less trauma to the skin vs the  blading technique of microblading.  The latter also creates cuts into the skin, thus more bleeding is involved.  With ombre' powder brows, minimal to zero blood surfaces during the procedure.

​

3. LASTS LONGER!  Results do vary based on the lifestyle, skin type, health, preferences, etc., but a single ombre' powder brows session, using high-quality pigments can last an average of 2-3 years.  Microblading, on the other hand has a high likelihood of healing blotchy, spotty or with blurred strokes, requiring more frequent touch ups generating more long term wear and tear on the skin eventually maxing out the skin's lifetime capacity quickly.  Like any injury to the skin the body repairs the wounded area by building collagen fibers creating a scar.  Both treatments will eventually dull out the skin in this way permanently so choosing the right method to save your skin integrity is critical.

​

4. GREAT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES!  Ombre' powder brows are great for any skin type unlike microblading which is not suitable for those with oily skin.  Microblading on oily skin requires several touch-ups which causes more trauma to the skin.  Most of us in Hawaii have oily skin plus humidity is against us as well.

​

5. STILL LOOKS NATURAL!   While ombre' powder brows have a more "filled-in" look, the healed results appear like softly shaded brow pencil or powder,  Immediately after the treatment, ombre' powder brows can appear more saturated and bold, however brows will fade 20-30% leaving a very soft finish and shape that will allow our clients to quickly groom their brows going forward.
