Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT OMBRÉ POWDER BROWS

1. What are Ombré Powder Brows?

Ombré Powder Brows are permanent make-up eyebrows applied by pigmentation. The pigment is placed in the upper layer of the skin using tiny pixels. Because the pigment is applied in pixels, the eyebrows get a 'powdered' effect. Very natural and beautiful. The 'ombré' start is a lighter start that fades into a darker effect towards the tail of the eyebrow.

2. Who is PMU suitable for?

PMU is suitable for all skin types: oily, dry, greasy, large pores and small pores.

3. What is the minimum age for PMU?

The minimum age for permanent make-up is 16, but between the ages of 16 and 18 a parental consent form is required before the treatment. Over 18 you can decide on the treatment yourself.

4. Is the treatment painful?

The Powder Brow treatment is experienced as almost painless. Clients often find it much easier than expected. If desired, a numbing cream can be used, so that you hardly feel anything.

5. What is the aftercare for powder brows?

The aftercare is always explained to you during the treatment, and sent by email after the treatment. For the first 7 days you must stay out of the sun, and you must not pick at the scabs during the healing process. You need to cleanse the eyebrows twice a day with a special soap, and apply Bepanthen ointment at least 3 times a day.

6. When do I need to come back for a touch-up?

After 6 – 8 weeks you come back for a touch-up. During a touch-up treatment we can make the shape slightly sharper, add colour or give the eyebrows more of the powder effect with extra pixels. The touch-up treatment is included in the price of the first treatment.

7. How is the colour of the pigment determined?

We have a wide choice of pigments. However, we give advice on the choice of the final pigment. IZZI Brows does not deviate far from that advice. This is because a great deal of knowledge goes into choosing a pigment. If the chosen pigment does not match your wishes as a client, we cannot carry out the treatment. We only work in an extremely safe and correct way with an optimal result.

8. Has there been a GGD inspection?

IZZI Brows is officially GGD approved.

9. Can I have PMU done if I am pregnant?

You may not undergo a permanent make-up treatment when you are pregnant.

10. I have botox / fillers, can I still have PMU done?

Yes, but there must be 2 weeks between your last filler or botox treatment and the placement of permanent make-up.

11. What is an intake form?

IZZI Brows works with an intake form to guarantee all safety requirements. This means that under certain circumstances IZZI Brows does not carry out treatments. The intake form is used to go through this with you before the treatment.

12. What about the guarantee on the treatment?

After Ombré Powder Brows you are always entitled to a touch-up treatment after 6 – 8 weeks. We do not treat earlier than this, because the healing process is otherwise still ongoing. After the touch-up treatment you have a further guarantee of up to 2 weeks. If anything is not to your liking, or has faded too quickly, you can come by in consultation.

GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT LIP BLUSHING

1. What is Lip Blushing?

2. Who is Lip Blush suitable for?

Lip Blush is suitable for all types of lips: uneven lips, small scars, normal lips, and so on. With Lip Blush you can not only add more warmth or colour to the lips, but also even out uneven lips, camouflage scars and make the lips look fuller without needing fillers.

The treatment is often experienced as mild pain. A numbing cream is used and it is applied several times during the treatment. This way the treatment is often experienced as very mild.

A touch-up is included with a Lip Blush. Despite the touch-up, often only one treatment is needed. A touch-up treatment takes place after 6 – 8 weeks.
