Combination brows

Combination brow treatments offer more benefits than just brow enhancement. Here’s why so many are choosing this technique:

1. Natural-Looking Brows: With hair-like strokes, brows look natural and real.
2. Customisable Design: Brow artists can design the perfect brow shape to suit your face and personal preference.
3. Suitable for All Skin Types: Unlike microblading which may not suit oily skin, combo brows is suitable for most skin types.
4. Low Maintenance: No more daily brow pencils, brow henna or brow lamination — your brows will look great 24/7.
5. Long-Lasting Results: With proper aftercare, combination eyebrows can last 1-3 years with minimal touch-ups.
6. Good for Clients with Sparse or Fading Brows: Those with thinning, fading brows or previous eyebrow tattoos will love the fuller look.

While combination eyebrow tattoo is good for many, the following may not be suitable:

• Skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis or skin irritations near the brows.
• Allergic to makeup or sensitive to tattoo pigments.
• Blood thinners and medications that affect healing.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Diabetes or healing impairments can prolong the healing process.

If any of the above applies, consult your brow tattoo artist before booking.

Do you want perfect brows with long-lasting results? You’re the perfect client for combo brows.

Preparation is key to getting the best results. Follow these guidelines 2 weeks before treatment:

• No chemical peels, glycolic acids, lactic acids, or anti-aging products near your brows.
• No Retin-A or glycolic acid on your face.
• No bodies of water 24 hours before your appointment (pools, saunas, hot tubs).
• No blood thinners (aspirin, caffeine, alcohol) 24 hours before treatment.
• No skin irritations.

The combo eyebrow tattoo treatment combines microblading and shading to get the perfect blend of natural and defined brows. Here’s what to expect:

1. Consultation:
   Your journey starts with a one-on-one with your brow artist. This consultation is to discuss your brow goals, preferred style, and the pigment that best matches your skin tone and natural brow colour. You can express your preferences and ask questions.
2. Mapping & Design:
   Using advanced mapping techniques, your artist creates the perfect brow shape to suit your facial structure and proportions. You’ll review and approve the design before we start.
3. Numbing Cream Application:
   To minimize discomfort a numbing cream or gel is applied to the brow area. We want this to be as painless as possible.
4. Hair Strokes Creation:
   The microblading part of the procedure starts with fine feathering strokes. These mimic real brow hairs to create a natural-looking base for the brows.
5. Shading:
   A soft powdered effect is applied to the mid-section and tail of the brows using a shading technique. This adds depth and definition and blends with the microbladed hair strokes.
6. Review & Adjustments:
   Once done, your artist will review the results with you and make any necessary adjustments to get your dream brows.

This process is detailed to get your brows just right and make you look beautiful.

Aftercare is key to the healing process and preventing pigment loss. Follow these:

• No Water & Moisture: Keep your brows dry for at least 10 days. No water, steam, sweat or moisture. No swimming, saunas or heavy exercise.
• Apply Aftercare Ointment: Your brow artist will give you a healing gel or ointment. Apply as instructed to keep your brows moisturized and prevent scabbing.
• Don’t Touch or Pick Scabs: It’s tempting to pick at the scabs, but this can cause patchy pigment loss. Let the scabs fall off naturally.
• No Skin Treatments: No facials, chemical peels or any treatment that could irritate the skin for at least 2 weeks.
• No Makeup on Brows: Don’t apply makeup directly on the brows while they are healing, as it increases the risk of infection.
• Follow Your Artist: The artist will give you an aftercare card to guide you. Follow it.

While generally safe, Combo Brows have some risks:

• Skin irritations or allergic reactions to pigment.
• Swelling, redness or scabbing during the healing process.
• Uneven healing if aftercare instructions are not followed.

Combination brow tattoo are semi-permanent and last 1-3 years depending on:

• Skin Type: Dry skin retains pigment better than oily skin.
• Lifestyle: Sun exposure, skincare routine and overall skin health.
• Retouches: Maintenance keeps them looking fresh.

Your combo brows will pay off for years to come.
