Please visit contraindications page for more information.
What if I don’t like the end result?
Since Permanent Makeup is a Semi Permanent Tattoo, it is crucial to make sure you are feeling completely confident in getting the procedure. Instead of worrying about the end result, make smart decisions up front. First and foremost, communicate with your artist about desired end results as well as exactly what you don't like. Express your desires clearly and with great detail, and don’t let the procedure move forward if you aren’t absolutely certain that the artist understands what you want. In addition, be sure to choose a classic style that you will continue to love as you age. Don't go for styles or colors that's trending at the moment, instead choose something that's a bit more conservative, especially for the very first time and later you can decide if you'd like to add on to it. Here at Brow Chemistry, we don't start the actual service until you completely approve the shape, size and color. The mapping of brow or lip is a lengthy process to ensure everything is perfect and even. Once you approve the look, only then we proceed with the procedure. Fortunately, we also offer UNDO Tattoo Removal for anyone who is unhappy with their tattoos from previous places.
What is Ombre Powder Brows?
Ombre Powder Brows is a semi-permanent eyebrow shading technique that creates a soft shaded, light to dark gradient look for a subtle and natural, but defined eyebrow look. This procedure is done with machine-created pixelated style with very fine round needle, going into the dermis of the skin.
What is the healing process of Ombre Powder Brows?
It’s important to understand that the result of the treatment is determined by many different factors, such as medications, skin type and care (if it’s oily, sun-damaged, particularly thick or thin), your skin’s unique pH balance, alcohol intake, smoking, and the long-term aftercare. You will most likely experience some swelling and redness after the procedure. This should subside within 48hrs after the procedure. Brows will heal for about 10-14 days. It is very important to follow strict aftercare instructions advised by your artist. First couple of days your brows will be looking dark and saturated, but don't stress, the color will fade about 30%-40% and the true color will show once it has peeled off and healed completely. In the healing of powder brows scabbing is the most annoying stage for most clients. We cannot stress enough how important it is for you to avoid picking at the scabs at all costs, as this can cause unattractive patchiness. When itchiness occurs, just use a clean Q-tip with ointment given by your artist and tap it gently over your brows to release the itchy feeling. Any rubbing or itching can result in pulling out the pigment and leaving spotty brows. Just trust the process.
What's the aftercare of permanent makeup?
It is very important to follow the aftercare instructions to make sure your brows heal as even as possible. Please visit aftercare page for more information.
Is the 6-8week touch up required?
Touch up is highly recommended, especially after the initial appointment, because it gives us the opportunity to adjust any imperfections, such as color, shape or outline. It is good to see how well it has healed. since the initial appointment. Typically, clients want to go just a bit darker for their touch up since getting your brows done for the first time is a bit intimidating, so we tend to be a bit more conservative and that's why touch up give as an opportunity to adjust anything as well as getting more color in, so brows have a better color retention.
How long does Ombre Powder Brows last?
Ombre Powder Brows can last up to 3 years, depending on long-term aftercare as well as lifestyle, skin type and care, medication or any health conditions. Some people might need touch ups a bit sooner due to these factors.
How long the procedure takes?
The initial appointment for Ombre Powder Brows & Correction can take up to 4hrs. It is a very precise procedure that requires attention to every detail. Touch ups can take for up to 3hrs.
What is the difference between Microblading and Ombre Powder Brows?
Microblading creates individual strokes that resemble the eyebrow hairs, while powder brows create tiny dots to achieve a misty, powder-filled brow. By doing so, the result resembles the look of makeup application that includes a soft shade underneath the hairs.
What is Lip Blush?
Lip Blush is a form of cosmetic tattoo that implants pigment in the lips using a permanent makeup machine with small needles. It is meant to heal like a soft lip tint or stain. It adds a nice hint of color to pale lips and enhances your natural lip shape. This service is ideal for paleness, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, lack of definition, etc.
What should I expect before the procedure?
Your lips will be swollen and a little tender right after the procedure. Swelling should subside after 24-48 hrs.
The color will be very vibrant and defined initially. Don't be alarmed, the saturation of the lips will fade about 30%-40% and the color will become more natural and softer.
The next couple of days your lips feel the driest they have ever been, so make sure to moisturize lips at all times and follow aftercare instructions.

How do we choose the color?
We offer a variety of different pigment colors to match all lip colors. Color selection is done after evaluating your lips undertones as well as your personal preference. If you have two tone or uneven color to you Iips, we must first neutralize that darkness. Then once your lips are healed and all the darkness is neutralized, we can make the color you desire during your touchup. If we use a nude or cool color without neutralizing the lips first, those colors will not stay and may also darken the lips. It is important to have a thorough consultation with your artist and understand that depending on your lips, you might need multiple sessions in order to achieve the look you desire.
Why choose UNDO Tattoo Removal?
Fewer Treatments are needed than other tattoo removal methods.
Laser tattoo removal is the most popular tattoo removal method today and has many downsides. One of the biggest downsides to laser tattoo removal is the number of sessions required to see results. Some clients pay and go through 20 sessions, only to end up with a tattoo that is faded but not completely removed.
UNDO works in fewer sessions; thus, it is more affordable and safer than laser tattoo removal.
With laser tattoo removal, the ink that is broken down by the laser is not removed from the surface of the skin, but rather absorbed into the body. Your lymphatic system will remove the ink from your body, and you will excrete it when you urinate. Unfortunately, no studies have been done on how long the ink absorption process takes, or what impacts the remaining ink in your body can have. The exceptional part about UNDO is that it actually lifts the ink out rather than absorbing it into your body. The Deracination Serum helps the ink rise to the surface of the skin and gets formed in the scab, and when the scab falls off the ink will fall off with it.
When will I see the results?
The type of ink/pigment used, age, size and number of cover ups will determine how long it takes to see results. UNDO can reduce removal treatments from 50-80% compared to other methods, including LASER. There will be some lightening of the ink after just one treatment.
What are the risks?
Clients who are on the Fitz Patrick scale 3 and above may unpredictably experience Hypopigmentation or Hyperpigmentation. This is an “Active” response and is temporary. This will appear as spots of discoloration. If this occurs, I would advise to wait at least 6-8 weeks for the color to even out.
How many treatments should I expect to get done?
There is no definite answer as it depends on each person and there are a number of factors that will dictate this, the depth of the ink, the type of ink used and the age of the tattoo and if there were any cover/touch ups. Smaller tattoos may require only two to three treatments. UNDO will lighten or remove any color, unlike LASER, which can only remove certain colors successfully.
Is the procedure painful?
We use a high-quality topical anesthetic before the treatment, so you can experience little to no discomfort.
How does the deracination serum/method work?
With natural active ingredients such as bentonite as well as aloe leaf extract and hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, the deracination serum is designed to “wake up” the dormant ink in the skin and pull it to the surface, while simultaneously hydrating the skin from beneath and improves elasticity in order for it to heal cleaner with minimal scar tissue.
What is in the treatment masks?
The Lifting Clay mask has a unique composition and can act as a magnet that attracts negatively charged toxins as well as any additional ink brought to the surface during the Deracination process. People have been using calcium bentonite clay for centuries as a way to detoxify the body and improve skin tone. The Healing Microcurrent masks include Tissue X® technology which is the world’s first TDDS (Transdermal Drug Delivery System) which conveniently delivers the benefits of iontophoresis treatments to the skin, as used by many dermatologists. Using Tissue X® technology our healing microcurrent masks deliver the active ingredients and macromolecule healing compounds, such as hyaluronic acid, peptides and vitamins into deeper layers of the skin.
Is there any restrictions?
There is no ink or skin tone restrictions.
With laser tattoo removal, there are many different factors that affect the results of the treatment, such as the color of ink used, skin tones, location and age of the tattoo. With UNDO, you will receive outstanding results regardless of ink color, skin tone or the location of the tattoo.
What's the difference between Saline Removal and UNDO Removal?
Saline Removal: Salt and Saline removal is a simple and safe method which uses a needle and the science of osmosis, similar to the UNDO® deracination method, to pull the pigments to the surface of the skin, but with saline the skin scabs and fall off, resulting in the tattoo becoming lighter and lighter as the pigments or inks are drawn away.
Unlike Saline removal, Undo produces very little scabbing, if any, and keeps the skin hydrated and thus minimal scarring if at all.
Saline removal is also not recommended for use on eyeliner removal as it can be severely painful and burn the eye. UNDO® is safe for use around the eye.
