There’s a good reason why eyebrow embroidery is the go-to treatment for a lot of us. As one of the facial features, the eyebrows work to add definition to the face, creating a subtle ‘frame’ to the whole visage, and it can affect the whole look. That said, not all of us know the correct way to groom the brows on our own and potentially cause a disaster. So why not avoid it from happening (again) with a session of eyebrow embroidery instead?

What Does Eyebrow Embroidery Treatment Mean?

Also known as microblading, eyebrow embroidery treatment is a form of tattooing. The treatment involves by inserting a semi-permanent pigment into the skin via needles. And instead direct insertion to the skin, the technique is done by using brush strokes to create a more natural look for the brows. Done correctly, the result will make your eyebrows look thicker, lush, and properly groomed.

And the treatment itself is not new; started in ancient China as a way for high-rank women to look polished and beautiful, the technique made its way back again in the beauty world. Starting from here in Singapore and Malaysia, and now it’s catching up all over the world. And suffice it to say the latest technology has improved the method tremendously and given remarkable results(see our real testimonials and feedback here).

The reason why people would go for the treatment is simply to get the brows they want without having to spend doing the routine every day. After all, not all of us are blessed with the skills to ensure the brows look top-notch every morning. Plus, the time and energy you need to master the skills needed is another matter as well.

So, why not wake up with properly groomed eyebrows every single morning and use the extra time to do something that you love instead? But first, let’s dive in to learn how the treatment works for you.

How Does Brow Embroidery Work?

The treatment starts with a consultation where a brow artist will thoroughly explain to you the treatment for you to make an informed decision. The discussion can range from the pros, cons, and the suitability of the treatment itself for you. The consultation is done thoroughly to ensure that the end result is well-communicated before translating into your eyebrows on the day of the treatment.

Prior to the treatment, it’s a requirement to come without wearing any makeup and other steps needed (if applicable) to ensure a smooth process during the embroidery.

The process starts with the brow artist trimming and lining the shape of the desired eyebrow as discussed from the previous consultation. The brow artists will begin by applying a layer of numbing cream to minimize any potential discomfort. After a few minutes, your brow artist will infuse pigments in tiny amounts to the top layer of the skin, using disposable needles. The whole process will take approximately two hours, and you may request more application of numbing cream to minimize any pain or discomfort as much as possible.

After the whole treatment is done, it’s natural to see your eyebrows look darker than what you’d expect – the true shade will come out in four to six weeks. And within that time frame, another session is scheduled for touch-ups.

There’s no specific requirement for downtime per se, you can continue with your daily life and you can enjoy the benefits of having well-groomed eyebrows for a few years.

Yes, you read that right, eyebrow embroidery treatment can last for years.

How Long Does Eyebrow Embroidery Treatment Last?

Done correctly and with proper care, the eyebrow embroidery done to your brows can last up to two years, although the results may vary for each individual. It largely depends on several factors such as committing to annual touch-ups, daily lifestyle, your skincare routine as well as your skin type that’ll determine how long the treated brows can last.

To ensure that your eyebrow embroidery lasts as long as possible, proper care is needed both before and after the session.

Things I Need To Take Care Of The Eyebrows After Treatment

As for eyebrow care post-op, you can expect mild scabbing and peeling of the skin while the skin heals itself from the treatment. It’s not advisable to pick and peel the affected skin as it can interrupt the skin’s healing process. And the habit will also affect the pigments within the skin. As for cosmetics, it is best to leave the newly-treated eyebrows be, and to avoid applying any form of makeup products to the brows for the first two weeks also for the same reason. Instead, apply an aftercare healing cream diligently to ensure you’ll get the results you want for your eyebrows

What’s most important after getting your eyebrows done is to avoid getting them wet, especially for the first 48 hours. Use facial wipes instead of washing your face with a normal cleanser and keep the face away while in the shower. Avoid sun exposure to the face for the first two weeks as the UV rays can fade out the fresh pigments within the skin.

Am I A Good Candidate For Eyebrow Embroidery?

Generally speaking, everyone regardless of gender and age can get eyebrow embroidery for their brows and it can be beneficial especially to anyone suffering from hair loss-related reasons such as alopecia and chemotherapy, or just having thin and sparse eyebrows, to begin with. The only exclusion is if you need to take blood-thinning medications regularly that it’s advisable to not undergo this treatment or a woman who’s currently pregnant and nursing as there’s no definite conclusion from the health experts yet.

In conclusion, eyebrow embroidery is definitely one of the ways for you to save your time to get ready. Plus, waking up to perfectly-groomed brows can surely be a good way to start your day!
