Brow Lamination & Tint
Desert Valley Dentistry & Spa offers a lot more than dentistry. We provide a whole host of spa treatments, including brow lamination and tint services in Glendale, AZ. If you’re interested in taking your brows to the next level, here’s what you need to know about this transformative cosmetic treatment.
What is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that straightens and sets your existing brow hairs using a chemical solution. It can be compared to a hair straightening at a hair salon, except that the formulation is safe to use near the eyes. The goal is to set the brow hairs in a more uniform direction and to create the appearance of more defined, fuller brows. Brow lamination is especially helpful for those with unruly brows.
Brow Lamination Services
When you visit Desert Valley Dentistry & Spa for brow lamination services, here is what you can expect:
The first step is a consultation. This is done so that your expectations can be expressed, including your desired brow shape and style. If you need guidance, our team can certainly help you to determine what brow look would best complement your face.
Next, our team member carefully cleanses the area of oil and makeup. This helps to ensure that the lamination solution can work effectively.
After cleansing, we apply a lifting solution. This gently lifts the brow hairs while softening them at the same time. This step enables the brow to be more easily reshaped.
The next step is setting the brows. This is where we brush the brows into the shape that you want. Once you approve the placement in a mirror, we apply a gentle neutralizing agent, which effectively “locks” the brow hairs in place.
Finally, we apply a nourishing serum to the brows to condition and protect them.
How Long Does Brow Lamination and Tint Last?
Both brow lamination and brow tinting are done with semi-permanent solutions, so the effects don’t last forever. However, the effects of brow lamination and tinting are long-lasting. Those who get brow lamination can expect to enjoy results for between six and eight weeks. The effects of brow tinting typically last about four to six weeks.
Who is Not a Suitable Candidate For Brow Lamination?
Almost anyone can get brow lamination, but it’s best for those with thick, unruly brows. In addition, if you suffer from certain skin conditions like psoriasis or excess acne, you may want to avoid brow lamination as this might exacerbate your condition. If you’ve recently had other cosmetic work done, you should wait a suitable amount of time before getting brow lamination. Finally, if you’re vulnerable to skin allergies, you should ask for a patch test before moving forward with brow lamination.
What to Avoid After Brow Lamination
For the first 24-48 hours after brow lamination, you should:
- Avoid getting the brow area wet
- Avoid using cleaning formulations on the brow area
- Avoid harsh soaps
- Avoid sunbathing, steam rooms and swimming pools
- Avoid scratching or rubbing the treated area
- Apply conditioner as instructed
What is Brow Tinting?
Brow tinting is a process where the hairs of the brows are colored with a semi-permanent dye especially suited for use around the eyes. The goal of brow tinting is to enhance the brow color, creating more definition and depth in the brows. It’s particularly beneficial for those with light, sparse, or unevenly colored eyebrows.
Brow Tinting Services
Brow tinting services at Desert Valley Dentistry & Spa are available for new and existing patients. The process is simple and straightforward.
First, you’ll choose a brow shade that complements your hair color and desired look.
Next, we’ll clean the brow of makeup and oils. This helps to ensure an even application of the coloring agent.
We’ll then prepare the color to your exact specifications.
Next, we’ll gently apply the color, being sure to tint every brow hair, to ensure full coverage.
The next step is waiting for the color to develop. This may be just a few minutes.
We’ll then remove the excess dye and allow you to examine the brows to be sure you have the result you desired.
Finally, we’ll clean the area. No special conditioning is needed after brow tinting.
Should You Laminate or Tint First?
If you want both brow lamination and tinting, you would normally get the tinting first, and then the brow lamination. If you’re coming in for a follow-up treatment, then you may only need a refresher brow lamination.
Benefits of Brow Lamination and Tint
Brow lamination and tinting are one of the most common treatments that our customers request, largely because of the many benefits. Having beautiful, well-defined and attractively colored brows can completely transform your face, elevating it from average to elegant. It’s non-invasive and has been described as a pleasant experience by our customers.
