Different Brow Treatments explained

At Beauty Vibes we have a variety of on-trend brow treatments to transform even the thinnest, patchiest of brows into beautifully defined eyebrows that really can transform your face entirely.

No matter your brow shape or budget we have the brow treatments solution for you so whether you’re looking for a quick fix or a long term solution understanding exactly what the different brow treatments available to you entails and the benefits gained by these different brow procedures will help you to decide what the best brow solution for you will be to help you to achieve your best brow shape ever.

From the outset, a good eyebrow shape will have a wider body part and a tail-end tapering to a pointed end with a connected brow line top and bottom without any gaps in between. This basic brow rule is the standard guideline we follow to help you achieve your desired eyebrow shape.

 

 

Eyebrow Thread & Tint

Eyebrow Thread & Tint – Basic Brow Shaping

Eyebrows are perfectly shaped and defined using threading technique (or waxing if you prefer) followed by tinting.  A suitable colour tint to match the undertone of the natural hair is applied.  Tinting gives the illusion of fuller looking brows and enhances the overall brow shape evening out the brows covering any greys and gaps in the brows.  The tint stays on the brow hairs for up to 4 weeks. *Treatment time is approximately 15-20mins.  Regular maintenance appointments will be required every 3wks

 

Henna Brows

Henna is a longer-lasting alternative to tinting and generally is used to create ombre powdered brow effects.  Because it’s so highly pigmented Henna stains the skin for up to 2 weeks making it the perfect choice to use for very sparse and gappy brows to achieve fuller-looking beautifully, defined eyebrows.

Before application perfect eyebrow symmetry is achieved via precision eyebrow mapping and shaping.  Once henna is applied it is left to dry on the skin for up to 20-25 minutes to allow the Henna pigment to effectively stain the skin and colour the brow hairs.  Results of Henna last up to 6 weeks on brow hairs.  *A 48hr Henna patch test is required prior treatment. *Treatment time is approx. 30-40mins.  Henna Brow maintenance will be required every 3 weeks for sparse and gappy brows  and 4-6 weeks for fuller natural brows

 

Brow Lamination

Brow Lamination with Tint– alternatively known as Brow Sculpt

If your desire is to have big brows but nature gave you naturally thin eyebrows then Brow Lamination with Tint is the perfect solution for you as this particular brow treatment allows you to achieve fuller brows with results lasting 6-8 weeks.  The procedure allows brow hairs to be brushed up thus achieving wider more volumised looking eyebrows.

Brow Lamination is also a great choice of brow treatment to have for those with unruly, bristly curly hairs as the lamination procedure tames disruptive brow hairs allowing them to be groomed into perfect placement for up to 6 weeks.  *Treatment time is approx. 45mins -1hr depending on brow hair texture. Maintenance will be required every 6-8 weeks

*Nouveau Lash Brow Conditioning Serum is recommended to use twice daily following this treatment to nourish and maintain healthy hydrated brow hairs between treatments

 

Microblading

Microblading- semi-permanent brow hair strokes and optional shading effects

The single best solution to achieve transformational symmetrical beautifully defined eyebrows. Results last 12-18 months. Before microblade semi-permanent hair strokes are drawn in eyebrows are numbed and perfect eyebrow symmetry is achieved via precision eyebrow mapping and shaping.  *24hr mandatory patch test and consultation is required pre-treatment

*Treatment time is approx. 2-3 hours.  A touch up will be required 8 weeks after treatment followed by annual touch up if required

What are the best Dermalogica products to achieve optimal skin health?

For optimal skin health two fundamental factors are key;

1)  A daily regimen that involves cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising

2) Using suitable products for your skin type.

*In addition balancing a healthy lifestyle will visibly improve your skin’s quality and tone.

Taking Dermalogicas vast range of products into consideration the below cleansing regimes are a simplified approach towards achieving optimal skin health.  The selected regime according to skin type should be done twice daily, (morning and evening) the morning regime include protecting spf formulas whilst evening time formulas work to heal and repair and hydrate skin.

From the outset Drier skin types benefit by using richer formulations enriched with antioxidants. In this way dry, dehydrated skin feels adequately nourished and hydrated without adding excess oils to the skin. The multivitamin and antioxidants in a richer formulation may be more suitable for nighttime, but can also be used daily with the added protection of a broad-spectrum sunscreen. It’s important to choose a noncomedogenic formulation since the texture is richer in this case. *Dermalogica products are non-comedogenic, free of artificial fragrances and colours, paraben-free, vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free!

Whilst for Oily skin types – the key ingredients to look for in your products will include exfoliating agents eg, Salicylic Acid + Vitamin A.  Clay masks and Sulphur help to absorb excess oils whilst Tea Tree provide antibacterial benefits.  Niacinamide improves skin texture and water-based products are essential for oily skin types to help hydrate and rebalance skin.

*If you are unsure of your skin type why not get in contact to arrange a FREE Skin Consultation.  Below are some Dermalogica skincare regimes recommended according to skin type e.g. normal/dry skin, menopausal mature skin concerns and oily acne skin conditions.    When used daily the appropriate skincare regime will effectively treat individual skin concerns.

Top 5 tips on How To achieve better DIY Eyebrow Shaping at home

 

Overgrown Eyebrow

In the current climate of uncertainty and salon lockdown, it’s now perhaps a case of “desperate times calls for desperate measures” and in particular when it comes to maintaining some sort of a beauty routine at home.

The guidelines set out below will hopefully pre-empt and prevent any at home ‘DIY ‘brow shaping disasters.

Something to consider before attempting your DIY brow shape is to know from the start that.. *When it comes to hair removal two fundamental factors are key;

  1. Great stretch on the skin for the area you are working on and,
  2. Great technique

With this in mind here are my;

Top 5 tips on – How To achieve better DIY Eyebrow Shaping results at home;

Ideal Eyebrow Shape outline

Tip 1 – Assess the overall eyebrow shape

Look at the shape of your eyebrows and imagine their ideal brow shape outline and draw with a pencil the outline of your eyebrows as indicated in the pic i.e wide body shape and tapered tail end

*A good eyebrow should have a wider body shape from inner nose area to arch point and a tail-end tapering to a point. The overall outline shape of the brow should look like a consistent line top and bottom without any gaps.  

Brow Shape prep outline

Tip 2 – Know what hairs should be removed 

The hair growth outside the brow line area (as indicated in the pic) is considered brow hair overgrowth and does not contribute to the overall eyebrow shape. *This is the brow hair that can be removed via threading, waxing or tweezering methods for a better and improved overall eyebrow shape  (*See Method procedures below) 

Tip 3 – Before attempting to remove hair, Stretch the skin!

Stretching the skin on the area you are working prevents against any unnecessary nicks or bruising of the skin and ensures hair is pulled out from the root.

Tip 4 – Always work against the growth of the hair

Combined with Tip 3 (stretch the skin) this technique ensures effective hair removal from the root, first time!

Tip 5 – Do Not overwork the delicate eye skin area

All hair removal is a form of skin exfoliation by adhering to methods specified in both Tip 3 & Tip 4 will avoid over traumatising the delicate skin area.

Finished Eyebrow Shape

Finishing Tips

Brush brow hairs up and using a brow scissors trim hairs extending over the top brow line

Always follow any hair removal process with a soothing application of moisturiser preferably containing SPF to protect the area against harmful UV damage

 

 

Hair Removal Method via Tweezer

  • Hold the tweezer in your dominant hand and use the other hand to stretch the skin.
  • Always focus on removing hair growth outside the natural eyebrow brow line area only *(Refer to Tip 1 above)
  • Tweezer against the hair growth to effectively tweezer out hairs.

*If done correctly the hair tweezered out should reveal the hair bulb.  This means the hair has successfully been plucked from the root.

*If done incorrectly the hair will snap and break and the overall tweezering effect will reveal what looks like black dots in the area.  If this happens do not overwork the skin but do leave the hair to grow longer before attempting removal again

  • Trim any long brows hairs extending over the top brow hairline and finish the treatment with an SPF application to further protect the skin against harmful UV damage

Hair Removal Method via Facial Wax Strips 

  • Use a scissors to cut the wax strips into smaller more manageable brow strips
  • Apply talc powder to protect the delicate skin area
  • Apply the small wax strip focusing on the hair growth outside the natural eyebrow brow line area only (Refer to Tip 1 above) *Work in small sections
  • Working against the hair growth, stretch the skin and whip off the wax strip in one swift action
  • Do not work over the same area twice!! *The skin in this area is very delicate any remaining hairs can be tweezered out
  • Using a brow scissors trim any long brows hairs extending over the top brow hairline
  • Finish with the oil-based moisturising pads provided in the pack this also effectively removes any remaining wax residue. *Follow with a protective layer of SPF

LED Light Therapy

Provides skin healing benefits – Restores, Revitalises, Rejuvenates

LED Light Therapy is usually applied at the end of the facial treatment as a resting phase of the facial providing enhanced skin benefits.

Advanced Facial Technology explained

Confused about advanced technology and system formulas used in beauty treatment rooms lately?? The following Q&A has been put together to help clarify why stepping up to advanced technology can really help to enhance skin results from your facial treatment..

How does Ultrasound work to improve skin?

Ultrasound works by emitting sound waves into skin which create cavities in the cellular layers thus allowing the small molecule peptide nutrients rich formulas to be pushed deeper into the skin for improved absorption.  This process has a skin re-energising effect on skin and triggers new collagen and elastin formation and improved blood circulation has beneficial anti inflammatory effects on the skin for improved texture and tone.

What is Radio Frequency?

Radio Frequency energy is used to repair skin tissue and tighten skin and treat skin ageing concerns such as sagging loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles.  RF energy feeds deep into the sub dermal layer of the skin, generating heat that cause collagen fibres to contract and in effect stimulates production of new collagen and elastin and tightens skin.  *Great for anti ageing however not recommended for red sensitive skin types, diabetic, rosacea, dilated capillaries as the heat generated in the skin from RF may trigger further inflammation.

What does Iontophoresis mean?

Iontophoresis produces an electrical current and when used in conjunction with IonActive serums stimulates facial muscle tissue to lift and tone skin and also make skin cells more permeable to better receive ionized active nutrients being pushed into the skin as far as possible. The IonActive serums selected in treatment treat specific skin concerns such as oily, breakout and acne skin problems, pigmentation, dehydration and crepid skin conditions. *Iontophoresis is NOT suitable for anyone with metal implants, or pacemakers or similar devices.

How does LED Light Therapy benefit skin?

LED Light Therapy emits different coloured infrared lights at different wavelengths which penetrate the skin at different depths and prove beneficial to treat different skin issues such as acne causing bacteria, sagging skin, wrinkles, pigmentation etc.  The most popular use are the Red & Blue.  Blue has a sterilisation effect on the skin beneficial for acne/breakout skin types and the Red LED provides anti ageing benefits for collagen stimulation and general skin revitalising and skin regeneration. *For more detailed information about skin benefits from various coloured LED Light Therapy click on the link here

 Note

* A bespoke treatment plan and recommended products to use at home will guarantee the best possible results and maintenance!!

What is Henna?

Henna

The Latin name for Henna is ‘Lawsonia Inermis’ a plant that grows in India, Middle East and North Africa and is generally used to create colourful tattoo effects to decorate the skin.

PPD is the colour ingredient in Brow Henna.  It creates beautiful, colourful shades. The Black Henna is used in various countries to create temporary tattoos and can potentially lead to intense allergic reactions due to the percentage of PPD in Black Henna being high, from 8% to 29% after mixing with water. *The maximum amount of PPD in Supercilium henna powder is 1,5% after mixing with fixing lotion.

Skin Sensitivity Patch Test

As with all hair colourants a sensitivity patch test is required before having a Supercilium Henna Brow Treatment.  *This is done in salon 48hrs pre treatment.  To learn more about Henna Brow Treatments at Beauty Vibes click on the link here
