Rest assured, this rough texture will go away after a few days as the new hair growth softens. Which DermaPlaning Treatment is best for me? DermaCorrect: Our signature dermaplaning service.

What is Brow Lamination? Brow lamination is a semi-permanent brow treatment that acts like a perm for your brows, relaxing them and making them easier to shape and reducing the need for heavy or extra strength brow gel that can be damaging to the brows over time. You will find that brow laminations make the brows: Easier to shape Easier to fill in with makeup (if still needed) Have a more full appearance Have more manageable texture & growth patterns Lower cost & commitment alternative to Permanent Makeup Who is it best for? This service is great for all hair types, and those who prefer a more sculpted look to their brows; but it's especially effective for those with cowlicks or unruly brows. If you get frustrated with brow gels never holding your brows in place, or needing to really layer on the brow gel to do so. This service is for you. There are a few contraindications to this service: Those who are under the age of 16 Compromised/Sunburned Skin Damaged/Cut/Bruised Skin Chemotherapy or Radiation (Must wait 6-12 months) Trichotillomania Disorder (Nervous Hair Pulling) Dermatitis Recent Eye Surgery (Must wait 4 weeks) Nutrient Deficiency Permanent Makeup (Must wait 6 weeks) Pink Eye or Stye Pregnant How Often Should I Receive this service? We recommend receiving this service every 8-12 weeks, but talk to your esthetician about your specific needs because this will depend on the speed of your hair growth and the texture of your brow hair. What Can I Expect After Receiving This Service? You can expect beautifully sculpted brows that are easy to manage and shape. After your lamination you will need to observe the following for the first 24 hours: AVOID Touching the brows AVOID Sleeping directly on the face AVOID Wetting brow hairs (use the provided Micellar wipes in place of your cleanser step) AVOID Steam and sweating (this includes saunas, dishwasher steam, oven heat, etc) AVOID Using skincare products on the brow area DO NOT Apply brow makeup DO NOT Receive Facial treatments MYTH BUSTED: Will This Treatment Damage My Brows? In short: No. If you follow aftercare instructions, leave the conditioner on for the full 24 hours, and do not come in too frequently for your laminations, your brows will remain healthy and full. You may notice your brows feeling a little more coarse for the first few days, that is normal and they will soften again after a few days. Our estheticians are rigorously trained in correct technique and timing to deliver beautifully full and healthy brows to each and every client. Why Are Clients under 16 Not Able To Receive Brow Laminations? Younger skin is at a much higher risk for a negative reaction because it tends to be more sensitive and reactive. For this reason we do not book this service for those under the age of 16, even with parent permission.
