The basic principle of brow lift for restructuring one's eyebrows.
The current trend leans towards voluminous, thick, and defined eyebrows, which is why brow lifting is highly favoured. This technique aims to restructure the eyebrows and enhance their natural character, which has the effect of intensifying the gaze.
Contrary to what its name might suggest, it is not a facelift, but rather a method to elevate the eyebrows. The brow lift then involves treating the hairs to give them the desired shape. Once the session is completed, it is possible to refine the result with a light tint, to enhance the intensity of the colour.
The procedure of a brow-lift operation.
A brow lift session lasts approximately three-quarters of an hour. Naturally, you must keep your eyes closed during the procedure. To begin, a quick diagnosis of the eyebrows is necessary to determine the style that suits the facial features.
The first step involves brushing the eyebrows. This is followed by the application of an initial treatment, which facilitates the opening of the cuticles. After a few minutes of rest, a second treatment is applied to the hairs, with the aim of softening the keratin. Once again, this stage requires a period of rest.
The action of the two treatments will soften the eyebrows, making them malleable. This allows for their restructuring, so they can adopt the desired shape. At the end of the procedure, a final restorative and nourishing treatment is necessary to strengthen the hairs and close the cuticles.
The final step involves removing any excess hair. Caution: no hair removal should be carried out before the brow lift, as there is a risk of experiencing irritation when in contact with the aforementioned treatments.
The benefits of brow-lift.
The brow lift technique is entirely painless. The restructuring allows the eyebrows to adopt a style that is both thick and natural. The advantage lies in the fact that you can choose the shape and density you desire.
The results of the brow lift remain visible for a duration of approximately two months. Subsequently, they will naturally fade away. There are no restrictions during this period, you can indeed wash your face and apply your usual skincare routine as normal.
A brow lift session can potentially dry out the skin around the eyebrows, hence the need to apply a moisturising cream that will soften the area. Typology offers you numerous treatments for this purpose, such as our 9-ingredient face moisturising cream, or our lash and brow serum that strengthens hair growth.
Who can resort to a brow-lift?
The brow lift is suitable for everyone, whether they are brunette, blonde or redhead. This restructuring technique may be particularly appealing to those with a rather drooping eyebrow shape, or sagging eyelids, as the brow lift has the ability to invigorate the gaze.
