Brow lamination is a modern procedure that gives your eyebrows a well-groomed look, fixes the hairs in the desired direction, and makes them appear thicker and fuller.

After the procedure, the eyebrows look brighter, the shape becomes clearer, and the result lasts up to 6 weeks. An excellent option for those who want to emphasize their natural shape and get rid of the need for daily eyebrow styling.

⏱ How long does it take to recover after permanent eyebrow makeup?

Recovery takes 7–10 days on average.

On the 4th–5th day, slight flaking begins, which soon disappears. The pigment fully develops within 30 days. If necessary, a correction is performed 4–6 weeks after the first procedure.

⚠️ How should I care for my eyebrows after the procedure?

  • During the first week, it is important to avoid getting the eyebrows wet (showering with a protective cover is allowed).
  • Avoid direct sunlight, saunas, swimming pools, beaches, and hot tubs.
  • The technician will provide detailed care instructions that must be strictly followed.
  • Remember: proper care affects how smooth, long-lasting, and beautiful the result will be. After permanent lip makeup, for example, care is also important — it allows you to maintain the clarity of the contour and the richness of the color for a long time without lipstick.

⚠️ Why is it important to follow the care instructions?

Because the skin is particularly vulnerable after the procedure.

Care directly affects:

  • the preservation of shape and color,
  • even healing,
  • the prevention of inflammation or pigment “failures.”

➡️ Can corrections be made?

Yes, the first correction is recommended after 4–6 weeks. It allows you to adjust the shade, shape, and color density depending on how the pigment has healed.
