HAIRSTROKE BROWS
Hairstroke Brows is a permanent makeup technique designed to mimic the look of natural eyebrow hairs with fine, delicate strokes. This method is ideal for clients seeking a soft, realistic enhancement, especially those with sparse or uneven brows. The results offer a fuller yet natural appearance, perfectly tailored to each client’s facial features and style.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR THE PROCEDURE
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding – due to hormonal changes and potential risk of infection, it’s recommended to wait at least 6 months after breastfeeding.
- Active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area, including acne, eczema, or psoriasis.
- Uncontrolled diabetes – may impair healing and increase the risk of infection.
- Blood clotting disorders or individuals taking anticoagulants (blood thinners), which may lead to excessive bleeding and poor pigment retention.
- Autoimmune diseases – especially active or untreated conditions that compromise the immune response.
- Cancer – ongoing chemotherapy or less than 5 years in remission.
- Allergies to pigments, lidocaine, or other components used during the procedure.
- Keloid scarring or a known tendency to form hypertrophic scars.
- Epilepsy – due to the risk of seizures during the procedure.
- Recent use of isotretinoin (Accutane) – must wait at least 6–12 months after discontinuation.
- Severe mental health disorders or body dysmorphia, which may affect satisfaction with the result or cause unrealistic expectations.
- Active herpes simplex virus outbreak in the facial area.
POST-TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Avoid touching the treated area unnecessarily for the first few days to prevent infection.
Keep the brows dry for at least 7–10 days. Avoid water, steam, sweat, and heavy workouts.
Do not pick or scratch any scabs or flaking skin—let them fall off naturally to avoid pigment loss or scarring.
Apply a healing ointment (if advised by your technician) in a thin layer to keep the area moisturized, usually once or twice daily.
Avoid makeup and skincare products on or around the brows during the healing period.
Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least 4 weeks. Use SPF once healing is complete to protect the pigment.
Avoid saunas, pools, and long hot showers for 10–14 days to reduce the risk of fading and irritation.
No facial treatments or exfoliants near the brow area for at least 4 weeks.
A touch-up session is usually recommended 6–8 weeks after the initial procedure to perfect the shape and color.
