Powder eyebrow tattoo - technique, effect, care after eyebrow spraying

Powder eyebrow tattoo: what is it?

When doing a powder tattoo, the artist achieves soft shading, resulting in the feeling that shadows have been applied to the eyebrows. The pigment is not injected deeply using a very thin needle, lifting the upper scales of the skin; hair removal is not required, as a result, the eyebrows look natural when viewed close up. The main advantage of this method of permanent makeup is the absence of blood and ichor, as with conventional tattooing. The client feels comfortable during the procedure and experiences virtually no pain.

Immediately after the procedure, upon close examination, small dots on the eyebrows are visible, disappearing when the skin is completely restored. As a rule, crusts do not form, but peeling occurs, which goes away over time. The result of powder tattooing is voluminous eyebrows, with natural shading of tinted eyebrows, with a soft texture. There is no clear sharp contour, the eyebrows look natural. It is also possible to correct the result. The effect of powder eyebrow tattoo can last for two years.

Characteristic manifestations of allergies to tattooing

The desire to be always beautiful can result in extremely undesirable consequences. Instead of an attractive appearance, after the procedure, pronounced symptoms of an allergic reaction may appear on the eyebrows and lips, which after a week do not decrease, but progress, such as:

itching, swelling, redness around the areas undergoing “improvement”;
crusts become inflamed and do not heal - traces of dye application;
pustules and internal seals appear;
the eyes begin to water, turn red and swell;
nasal congestion and runny nose;
one feels nausea, dizziness and general weakness.

If such manifestations are observed, then the conclusion is clear - it is an allergy to tattooing. You should immediately visit an allergist, having first obtained samples of the substances used in a beauty salon.

Accurate diagnosis of the allergen is necessary to obtain a complete picture of the disease and select optimal treatment methods.

Benefits of powder eyebrow tattooing

Naturalness. Unlike classic tattooing, after powder tattooing, eyebrows look natural, neat, without vulgarity.
There is zero trauma. The paint is applied to shallow layers of the skin, so soft tissues are not damaged.
There is no need to remove all hairs. As a rule, hairs are removed minimally or left completely untouched.
Rapid tissue recovery after the procedure. Since the penetration is not deep, healing occurs quite quickly.

There is no severe pain. The pigment is injected using a very thin needle, so the client only feels a slight tingling sensation. The specialist may offer local anesthesia.
The hue saturation can be adjusted.
Eyebrows are carefully adjusted, they are given the correct shape without sharp lines.
You don't need to color your eyebrows every day.

Treatment of allergies and their consequences

Unpleasant manifestations after applying dyes to lips and eyebrows are difficult and long to cure.

Adequate treatment can be prescribed only after specifying the type of allergen that provoked these symptoms, as well as complete removal of the coloring pigment introduced under the skin. Eyebrows and lips are cleared of dye using a laser. Due to the pain of the procedure, it is performed under local anesthesia.

Further treatment consists of using:

antihistamines and corticosteroids - Suprastin, Kenalog, Dexamethasone, Polcortolone;
wound healing ointments - “Triacort”, “Ftorokort”;
eye drops - “Dexamethasone”, “Oftan”;
nasal medications - Flixonase.

When choosing medications, the determining factors are: the symptoms of the reaction, the age and general health of the patient.

Self-treatment is unacceptable, since many drugs have both side effects and contraindications. All prescriptions must be performed by an allergist.

Thus, an allergic reaction when applying permanent makeup or tattoos to the lips and eyebrows cannot be ruled out if the body initially has a predisposition to such manifestations. But even a healthy body can react to low-quality dyes or related drugs. Subsequent treatment of allergies requires removal of pigment and long-term restoration of the skin, as well as the immune system.

Eyebrow tattooing and tinting have become very popular, since after such cosmetic procedures women spend much less time applying makeup. Also, the fair sex is satisfied that tinted eyebrows look great in any weather conditions. This method of applying makeup also has its disadvantages, since the dyes used can cause side effects, which most often manifest themselves in the form of allergies.

Disadvantages of powder eyebrow tattooing

The powder tattoo procedure is several times more expensive than other analogues.
The procedure is relatively new, it is difficult to find a master with the proper qualifications and experience, since not many cosmetologists have mastered the new tattoo technique.
The effect of the procedure lasts for one to two years, while after a classic tattoo it lasts up to five years.
Using the powder tattoo procedure, you cannot radically correct your eyebrows; perhaps you can only make your eyebrows more expressive and voluminous.

Microblading or powder spraying (powder tattoo) of eyebrows?

Both procedures are low-impact procedures. The difference between microblading and powder eyebrow tattooing is the final result; the resulting effect is different. To get a more natural effect, it is better to do microblading; it creates fine lines that create an imitation of hairs. The method is suitable for those who have sparse eyebrows or uneven distribution of hairs. Powder tattooing also looks natural, but the effect is of painted eyebrows. Which method to choose is up to you; the quality of these two procedures is the same.

Edema: normal and complication

Edema that appears as a result of infection is considered dangerous. A risk may arise if tattoo tools have not undergone antibacterial treatment.

The following symptoms indicate the danger of consequences:

Pronounced redness, severe swelling, which does not go away for a long time during the recovery period after tattooing.
Painful sensations.

If complications and consequences in the form of redness are detected, you should immediately consult a doctor. In severe cases, the pigment provokes anaphylactic shock and death.

Swelling after tattooing is considered normal if it does not cause pain or itching. The symptom goes away on its own within 1 day. A dry crust may appear on healing areas of the skin.

When is it necessary to powder eyebrows?

Here is a list of when it becomes necessary to get a powder tattoo:

if you have thin eyebrows of light shades;
the color of hair and eyebrows is very different from each other;
eyebrows grow unevenly, there are gaps in the skin;
if you're tired of tinting your eyebrows every day;
want to have a richer eyebrow color;
Eyebrows quickly fade in the sun.

Powder spraying of eyebrows is recommended for girls with fair skin and light hair color. But dark-skinned women with dark hair can do this procedure without radically changing their eyebrows. Powder spraying, unfortunately, cannot completely replace eyebrows when they are missing or when major changes are required.

Allergy to eyebrow dye

Several factors contribute to the appearance of an allergic reaction, the main one being the fact that a huge number of infections and microbes, dirt and dust accumulate on the hairs. The production of subcutaneous sebum only aggravates the effect of all those substances that accumulate on the hairs.

There may be several reasons for such a negative reaction, but the most important and dangerous reason for an allergic reaction may be the presence of chemicals in eyebrow dyes. Eyebrow dye or henna will subsequently lead to swelling and redness in certain areas of the facial skin.

The individuality of each organism influences how the allergic reaction will behave and what its main symptoms and first signs will be. For this reason, each person’s allergy will manifest itself a little differently, but the main signs of the disease remain the following list:

Swelling of the skin near the eyebrows and eyes.
A small rash that may be itchy.
Redness of the skin, discomfort due to burning.
In severe cases, blisters, pimples and blackheads may appear.
Peeling of damaged skin areas.

There are situations when an allergic reaction manifests itself not only at the site where the paint was applied, but also on the hands or other areas of the skin if the paint accidentally gets on exposed parts of the body. Regardless of how strong or weak the allergic disease is, a person needs to urgently take measures to eliminate the irritating factor.

Preparation for powder spraying (tattoo)

A week before the procedure, it is not recommended to massage, and try to avoid direct sunlight on the skin.

Do not pluck hairs in the eyebrow area.

Do not apply nourishing cream to your face.

Before starting the procedure, the master creates a sketch of the future eyebrow using a cosmetic pencil. The client chooses the form himself or he can rely on the choice of the master. Of course, it is impossible to completely change the shape of the eyebrow, but it is quite possible to correct it.

The preparation before the procedure should be taken very seriously, since the quality and final result depend on this stage.

Powder spraying of eyebrows is best done in the middle of the menstrual cycle, when women's pain threshold is weakest.

Before starting the procedure, the master must do a test to determine the tolerance of the substances contained in the pigment. Although the paint contains substances that rarely cause allergies.

7-10 days before tattooing, you cannot perform any cosmetic procedures, such as mesotherapy, massage, or sunbathing. It is necessary to stop using nourishing creams.

Two days before the procedure, start taking antiviral medications to prevent herpes. Experts recommend taking drugs such as Zovirax, Virolex 400 mg twice a day, Valtrex 500 mg once a day. Alternatively, use Famvir 250 mg once daily. Antiviral gels and creams are useless as prophylaxis; they are used directly when herpes appears on the skin.

The day before the procedure, eliminate caffeine-containing drinks from your diet. It is also not recommended to eat very salty and spicy foods. To avoid swelling after the procedure, reduce the amount of liquid you drink the day before tattooing. If you plan to have anesthesia, it is better to give up cigarettes and alcohol the day before tattooing, as they can slow down the effect of the painkiller.

What to do, how and how to treat

It will be possible to begin treatment only after a dermatologist determines that the cause of the painful symptoms is an allergy.

Usually, for its treatment, experts recommend drugs for local and internal use:

Dexamethasone (available in the form of tablets and ophthalmic suspension)
Kenalog (tablets).
Oftan, dexamethasone (eye drops)
Polcortolone (tablets)
Triacort (ointment)
Flixonase (nasal spray)
Fluorocort (ointment).

In addition to the listed medications, a sick person may be prescribed decongestants for the eyes and nose. In the event that the specialist determines that the patient has developed a rash and itching as a result of an infection introduced during the procedure, the list of prescribed medications will be supplemented with antibiotics.

Powder eyebrow tattoo technique

To make the client feel as comfortable as possible, he is given local anesthesia, but you can refuse it;
then the master selects the pigment color that best matches your skin tone and eye color;
Using a specially thin needle, microscopic punctures are made in the skin and a color pigment is injected there; this is what powder tattooing is.
To give the eyebrows thickness and volume, the master draws the hairs, this is done very carefully.

When choosing the color of a pigment, as a rule, it is chosen one or two shades darker than the hair color, since the dye is washed off over time. Therefore, the contrast between eyebrows and hair is very noticeable immediately after the procedure.

A professional will spend an hour performing the powder tattoo procedure, but the process may take longer.

Question answer

@aida_browmaster_butovo

Questions often arise before getting a tattoo. It is recommended to familiarize yourself in advance with what powder spraying looks like, how often the manipulation needs to be done, and how painful it is.

What powder eyebrows look like

Powder eyebrows tend to lose their color over time, but the technique of powder spraying is considered relatively new. The technique does not involve deep penetration into the skin. Eyebrows look natural after spraying; slight swelling may appear immediately after the procedure. The final result can be assessed after a month; on average, the color lasts about 1 year.

Permanent makeup allows you to solve some problems associated with aesthetic unattractiveness. With the help of manipulation, you can close bald spots and restore excessively sparse lines. The procedure is in demand if the lines are thick, but there are places where there is no hair, or they are too light.

The tattoo looks like small dots and looks like shading with shadows. With the right paint, the tattoo will not turn black, blue or reddish over time. If the pigment has not taken root, there is a possibility that the lines will be painted unevenly.

How often to do powder eyebrows

Correction of powder eyebrows is required a month after the initial tattoo. A popular problem is how long makeup lasts after this. The result lasts quite a long time - from one to three years. How long the paint will last is influenced by factors such as care, sun protection, and body characteristics.

Application is not effective for oily skin types; the pigment comes out quite quickly. If you make timely adjustments, you can prolong the result. The first correction consolidates the result and saturates the color, during which some areas are worked on.

How do powder eyebrows heal?

Healing powder eyebrows is a relatively short procedure. The healing process takes about a month on average. After the manipulation and until the crust subsides, the lines look two shades darker.

@lashes_brows_krsk24

In total, several stages of healing can be distinguished. First, the crust falls off, the lines become less bright, after which the skin is completely restored. On the first day, the lines are dark and the boundaries are sharp. Redness and slight swelling appear. The ichor comes out. You cannot touch the skin or scratch it at this time, so as not to cause an infection.

The first few days should not wet the skin. Strong temperature changes should be avoided. On the second day the swelling usually decreases. Next, crusts appear. They should not be torn off to avoid infection and to avoid improper distribution of paint.

After the crusts have come off, the color begins to change for the better. Saturation may not subside for some time. Usually the final effect is noticeable by the end of the fourth week. The first 14 days are considered the most difficult. After healing, the lines look natural, itching and swelling disappear.

Is it painful to do powder eyebrows?

Of all the eyebrow tattoo procedures, powder spraying is considered the most painless option. The dye is applied to the surface layers, which may result in slight tingling and discomfort, unlike hair permanent makeup.

The degree of pain depends on the person's pain threshold. If desired, anesthesia can be given. Healing also occurs relatively painlessly, but swelling and itching may occur in the first days. The technique allows you to cover up previously done tattooing and make the color of the lines more saturated.

How to care for eyebrows after tattooing?

To heal the skin after the procedure, special creams and ointments are applied to the skin in a thin layer. The application of healing creams must be taken very seriously. If you apply a very thick layer of ointment, this can lead to a softening of the crust, and it will fall off ahead of time, the tattoo will be ruined. If the skin dries out, it may crack, which will also negatively affect the tattoo. Creams and ointments should be prescribed to you by a specialist; it is not recommended to be independent in choosing medications.

A crust does not always appear after the procedure; if this happens to you, then let it heal and fall off. Typically this process takes no more than a week. General skin restoration occurs within 1.5-2 months after the procedure, but this depends on the age, health and skin of the patient.

It is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics on areas of the skin that have been tattooed for approximately a week. Since cosmetics can reduce the healing process of the skin and products used to remove cosmetics can soften and disrupt the integrity of the crust. You will have to forget about the bathhouse, visits to the fitness center, and the swimming pool for two weeks after the procedure.

Consider what time of year you got your powder eyebrow tattoo done. So in winter, pigmented eyebrows need to be protected from gusts of wind and frost, and make sure that hats and scarves do not damage the crust. In the summer, wear a hat to prevent direct sunlight from falling on your eyebrows and use sunscreen. Also avoid getting sweat and dust on your powder brows. If you are planning to get a powder tattoo before your vacation, then do it a month before your planned trip.

If you experience swelling and itching, take antiallergic drugs, for example, Claritin, Zyrtec, Erius.

Post-procedure care

@lashandbrow_kazan

Permanent eyebrow spraying subsequently requires careful care and treatment after tattooing. After healing, the pigment can quickly be removed due to improper eyebrow care after powder spraying.

After correction, you cannot use decorative cosmetics for several weeks. In the first 2-3 days, do not wet the skin. There is no need to touch the treated area with your hands. For the first month, you cannot clean with peelings or other aggressive means. Until complete healing, you should wear sunglasses or a hat when going outside. It is necessary to avoid hypothermia or overheating.

The resulting crust must be treated with the products recommended by the master. You cannot rip it off - this leads to scars and cicatrices, incorrect distribution of pigment.

Correction

About a month after the eyebrow pigmentation procedure, it is necessary to make a correction. It is not recommended to do correction before, since it takes about a month for the skin to recover and heal. Accordingly, if you make a correction earlier, this can lead to disastrous results; the initial result can be hopelessly spoiled. Eyebrow correction is necessary to ensure that the tattoo remains unchanged for as long as possible, as well as to achieve the desired shade, eliminate gaps, and make the eyebrow shape more perfect.

When a master does the initial application of pigment, the result may not be as expected. The skin varies in thickness and density in different areas. The paint may not apply evenly everywhere. It is to eliminate such shortcomings that corrections are made. It allows you to extend the life of powder tattooing and make changes if necessary.

Isn't this forever?

If you are allergic to permanent makeup, the pigment should be completely removed. It is applied shallowly - some 2-3 mm from the surface of the skin. Therefore, the artist will not have any problems with canceling the tattoo. True, the person will recover from repeated intervention for a long time. But such cases are rare; in 99% of situations, tattoo pigment does not cause serious harm to the body.

Tatyana Rozhkova's studio means minimal risk during tattooing and complete confidence in the sterility of the procedure. Beauty does not require sacrifice! Call and make an appointment with a specialist.

An allergic reaction to tattooing occurs if the dyes, as well as accompanying painkillers and treatments, contain substances perceived by the human body as allergens. Symptoms appear both at the site of application of the pigment in the form of painful irritations, and in the form of typical allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis. It is possible to stop a negative reaction with antihistamines and complete removal of the dye from under the epithelium.

Can owners of regular tattoos get powder tattooing?

It is almost impossible to convert a classic tattoo into a powder one. Some masters take on such work. But to make your eyebrows look natural, you will need to make corrections several times. And she doesn't always help. The most acceptable option is to completely remove regular tattoos using a laser and get a powder tattoo.

The results of powder tattooing are different for everyone. This is influenced by several factors: the quality of the pigment, how deeply the master introduces it, what color type of skin the client has. Based on a person’s color type, it is predicted how soon the paint will begin to lighten. In order for the paint to last for two years and get the desired shade, the optimal depth of pigment introduction under the skin is 0.5 mm. If you introduce the paint deeper, the color will be more saturated and less natural, although it will last longer. So, if your eyebrows are colored with brown paint, then if the pigment is introduced too deeply, your eyebrows may acquire a red or orange tint after some time. If you paint with black colors, the blue color may predominate. Such results are possible if you neglect to make corrections.

Therefore, if you want the result after powder tattooing to please you for a long time, do not forget to make corrections on time.

Allergic reaction and reasons for its manifestation

There are two main reasons for allergies after eyebrow tinting:

The individual reaction of the human body to the composition of the paint.
Low quality of dyes that the artist used during the tattooing procedure (in this case, saving brings great trouble and disappointment).

Typically, an allergy to eyebrow dye begins immediately upon first contact of the facial skin with the pigment.

Some ladies may become allergic to eyebrow dye; it is impossible to definitively answer whether it only happens to chemical dyes.
