About the Definitive Eyebrow
In the last 15 years the permanent eyebrow has become very popular and the techniques have evolved a lot. Today the design looks more natural, as if they were threads. The ink used today is of higher quality, reducing maintenance time, but on the other hand, the ink does not turn green as it used to. There are many changes to make the look more and more beautiful without wasting time in front of the mirror with the rush of everyday life.
Advantages and disadvantages
The permanent eyebrow has more advantages than disadvantages, but it is necessary to consider everything before doing it, since, as the name itself says, it is something definitive that will be on your face.
The main advantage is to lift the eyes and frame the eyes. Many women have light or missing hair, giving the feeling that they have almost no eyebrows. With pigmentation, the person looks healthier. In case of alopecia, the permanent eyebrow is also an excellent option.
Another advantage is not having to worry about makeup, it can get wet, go to the pool that doesn't come out and remains perfect.
The main disadvantage is that it is something permanent. You can end up getting bored with the drawing and that is why it is so important to evaluate well whether the drawing that the professional marked on your face really turned out as you imagined. Another disadvantage is the fact that it fades over time and needs to be redone every two or three years.
We cannot fail to list pain as a disadvantage here. During the procedure, a local anesthetic is used, so almost nothing is felt. But after the effect wears off, it feels like a slight burn. It's not a seven-headed bug, but it's going to hurt a little.
Who can do it?
The definitive eyebrow has no contraindication for adults, except people who are not in full health. It is not recommended for pregnant women, people undergoing chemotherapy treatments, people who suffer from a lot of skin allergies, especially dyes, among other conditions.
If you undergo any type of treatment, it is essential to consult your doctor so that he can assess the feasibility of carrying out a procedure like this.
How long does it last?
The duration of the permanent eyebrow depends a lot on the person's lifestyle, if he spends a lot of time in the sun daily without using sunscreen, if he goes to the pool and beach a lot, the quality of the paint used, among other issues. In spite of all these variables, we can say that the permanent eyebrow lasts at least 2 years, after that period it is necessary to do maintenance to keep the color always up to date.
How is the procedure? It hurts?
The issue of pain varies greatly from person to person, some feel more and others feel less. Despite this, most professionals use a local anesthetic, so you will feel a little discomfort, but it will be completely bearable. As part of the pain also has to do with the psychological, we will show you how the procedure is done so that you can be calm, without nervousness and unnecessary anxiety.
- First, local anesthetic is applied. It takes up to half an hour to take effect.
- After this period, the professional removes the hairs that are left in the drawing.
- The drawing is marked using eye pencil considering the proportions of your face.
- The process of making the final eyebrow only really starts after you approve the design.
- Now begins the application of pigment with a very fine needle. The needle only reaches the surface layer of the skin and is therefore less uncomfortable than a tattoo.
How much does it cost? #price
The price depends on a number of factors: quality of the pigment used, region of Brazil, professional training, reputation of the chosen aesthetic center, among many other factors. The permanent eyebrow costs from R$300 to R$800 considering all these variants.

Regardless of the technique used in the first few days, the definitive eyebrow is very marked. It is normal to peel and lighten gradually until you reach a natural tone.
If you want to do the permanent eyebrow before a special date, like your wedding, for example, the tip is to do it at least a month in advance, so you have enough time for the skin to recover and the pigmentation to become lighter.
