A growing number of people are choosing laser eyebrow correction to quickly and easily achieve the ideal brow shape. In contrast to conventional techniques like waxing or tweezing, laser correction provides a more accurate and durable fix.
This method involves defining and cleaning the brow line by using a laser to target and remove unwanted hair. It’s perfect for those who have trouble with uneven brows or who wish to keep their shape without having to do frequent touch-ups.
This post will examine the procedure in more detail, as well as what to anticipate throughout the process and why it might be the best choice for you.
What is laser correction
A point laser is used for hair removal in laser eyebrow correction. After applying a strong flash of light to the treated area, the specialist damages the follicle’s integrity, preventing it from growing new hairs until it is fully repaired.
You will need to see the specialist more than once to get the best results because it takes multiple treatments to break the integrity of the hair follicles and produce the desired outcome.
About the general definition of eyebrow correction and the available techniques.
Benefits of the approach:
- long-term result. After a laser course of 3-5 sessions, you will forget about extra hairs for 3-7 years, and sometimes even longer;
- the integrity of the skin is not disrupted. With mechanical correction with thread, wax or tweezers, the integrity of the dermis is disrupted in the place where the hair used to grow. This increases the risk of infection. With a laser, there is no such danger – the procedure is as safe as possible;
- point impact. In terms of the accuracy of the impact, the laser is comparable to tweezers – only those hairs are removed that really interfere with creating the desired eyebrow shape. In the case of wax, for example, there is a risk of removing not only the excess.
Drawbacks:
- a long list of contraindications. You can find the full list at the end of the article;
- fashion volatility. Here, of course, there are more complaints about trends, but still. Remember how thin eyebrows were in fashion? Now imagine that you would give them a fashionable shape with a laser. And now, 2-3 years later, wide, thick eyebrows came into fashion;
- high price. Of course, if you go to a specialist every 2-3 weeks, then in 7 years you will spend clearly more, but, nevertheless, laser correction remains the most expensive method, requiring immediate investment;
- it is difficult to find a professional. We are talking about both the professionalism of the specialist and the quality of the device itself. If you violate the technology or use devices with a weak light pulse, the result will be disappointing;
- in addition to contraindications, there are 2 more categories of women for whom the laser is not suitable – gray-haired or fair-haired. The laser simply does not "recognize" their hair. A similar situation is with red-haired girls;
- high risk of complications. Complications occur if the laser intensity is not selected correctly or the procedure was performed in the presence of serious contraindications.
Potential complexities:
- burns. Burns occur if a dense beam was used that did not suit the client"s skin type. A similar side effect is also observed if the device itself is of poor quality;
- inflammation of the hair follicles. Folliculitis occurs due to violation of the specialist"s recommendations, if, say, after the procedure you go to the bathhouse, or systematically violate the rules of hygiene;
- eye inflammation. To avoid trouble, wear glasses during the correction. If the specialist did not offer glasses, it is better to refuse his services.
How to prepare for the procedure
Unfortunately, you have to be ready for laser eyebrow correction; you can’t just go ahead and get it.
The success of the sessions and the outcome will depend on how closely these guidelines are followed:
- stop sunbathing two months in advance;
- approximately 30-40 days before, it is recommended to refuse any type of correction. It is desirable that you come to the procedure with the most "overgrown" eyebrows;
- 14-28 days before, refuse other procedures – lamination, henna or paint coloring, tattooing;
- immediately before going to the master, do not apply any products to the hairs, including serums, oils, gels for 5-7 days.
Using laser technology to target and remove unwanted hair, laser eyebrow correction is a precise and efficient way to shape and refine eyebrows. People who want a well-defined brow without the hassle of regular maintenance often choose for this method because it produces results that last for a long time with little discomfort. The procedure guarantees a natural and attractive appearance and is quick, safe, and customizable to personal preferences.
Procedure procedure
- First of all, after coming, the master will conduct a survey. If you are dealing with a real specialist, then he will tell you about contraindications, and also conduct a questionnaire about your lifestyle recently – did you sunbathe in the sun or in a solarium, when was the last time you did correction by any method, what eyebrow procedures were performed;
- A professional will also ask about your pain threshold, whether you have menstruated – do not be shy and say it as it is. This will help the specialist understand whether it is necessary to anesthetize the skin and what difficulties will arise in the process;
- The third stage involves removing makeup, as well as cleaning the eyebrows and adjacent skin from any dirt;
- Next comes a short survey about the desired shape and preparation of the markings. After creating a sketch of the future eyebrows, it will be agreed upon with you;
- After you put on glasses that will protect your eyes from bright flashes, the procedure itself begins. The specialist removes excess hairs with a laser along a previously agreed contour.
Finally, a soothing agent—a lotion or cream that will ease discomfort—is applied to the affected area. Depending on how complex the correction is, the entire process takes 15 to 35 minutes.
Contraindications
- tanning. 2 months before the planned laser procedure, you should avoid any type of tanning – in a solarium or in the sun. You need to avoid tanning because the laser works worse on tanned skin, which means you will have to visit more sessions. The ideal time to go for laser correction is winter. At this time of year, you won"t have to deprive yourself of the pleasure of lying on the beach;
- pimples, acne or allergic rash near the eyebrows;
- moles and age spots. Here you need to be very careful, because any damage to the integrity of moles can provoke their degeneration and it is far from certain that they will be benign;
- burns, scars, scars;
- diabetes;
- oncological diseases and recently undergone chemotherapy;
- HIV;
- acute respiratory viral infections and other viral diseases in the acute stage;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- skin sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation;
- age under 18. Here, unstable hormonal levels come into play, which react unpredictably to the laser.
Additionally, find out from your doctor whether any medications you are taking are safe to use with a laser. Certain medications lessen the procedure’s efficacy.
