Brow lifts is a procedure applied on the eyebrows which give them a more uniform and defined look. This treatment can be done at a beauty salon and it has an effect that lasts between 4-6 weeks.

What is a brow lift?

Brow lift is a cosmetic procedure which shapes and strengthens the hairs on your eyebrows. This technique is similar to lash lift, but it’s focused on the eyebrow area.

By applying a special treatment on the eyebrow hairs, they become smoother, shinier and easier to shape. Also, brow lifts can give you a better shape to the eyebrow and it can hide the hairs that grow outside of them.

This procedure can last between 30 minutes and an hour and it can have results that last between 4-6 weeks. Before starting the treatment, a beauty specialist will clean and dry your eyebrows, then apply the lift solutions: the perming solution, the fixing solution and the nourishing solution.

Brow lift can be an excellent choice for people that want to define the shape of the eyebrows and to strengthen the hairs. Also, this procedure can be ideal for persons that have thin eyebrows or that don’t grow uniformly and want to improve their overall look.

Maintaining brow lifts

The first 24 hours after the brow lift are crucial in order for the effect to stabilize and not be undone. Avoid direct contact with water, going to the sauna, the gym or any other activity which involves water, steam or sweat near the eyebrows.
