What is the Best Method for Permanent Hair Removal on Eyebrows?

If the area is close to the orbital rim, it is safer to undergo electrolysis rather than laser hair removal on the eyeborw.  Laser hair removal takes many treatments and when a surface area is small, it may be more efficient for an electrologist to do the treatment. On the other hand, the area between the eyebrows has been done successfully with laser hair removal quite often.
 

Thank you for your question. It is not advisable to have laser hair removal for the eyebrow, except for the unibrow area. The shape or size of your eyebrows may not match your face as you age and often brow styles change. Also, you will need to put metal shields in eyes each time you have treatment to protect your eye form the laser. I hope this information helps.

Some people like to use a laser for hair removal on the face, especially when they are doing other areas of the body. However, Laser Hair Removal will never get rid of 100% of the hair; it is a permanent hair reduction and you should be wary of anyone promising otherwise. The permanent reduction should be in the range of 80% to 90%.
One of the best options for the eyebrows is electrolysis. it targets individual hairs, for a precise treatment and works relatively fast. How fast depends on your hair, its growth pattern/timeline and your commitment. if you go for your treatments when the hair is already dead, you are wasting your money (might as well tweeze).
In any case, it should first be determined if you are a good candidate for any treatment.  Schedule a consultation to find out and make sure you trust the person who will shape your brows. Try not to take off too much! You cannot 'edit, undo'. At the Victoria Park Medispa we offer complimentary consultations with our leading technicians for laser hair and other hair removal options including electrolysis.

For permanent hair removal of the eyebrows, I generally recomend electrolysis.  We have used laser hair removal for the "unibrow" area, but it is not advised on other areas of teh eyebrow due to the potential risks involved.

In addition to the reasons mentioned by my colleagues, I generalky advise against. laser hair removal for the eyebrows because eyebrow fashion changes. You may not want to make a permanent change to the shape and thickness of your eyebrows.

Laser hair removal is not advisable for eyebrows except for the portion between the brows, called the unibrow. The reason is that the shape or size of your eyebrows may not match your face as you age and brow styles often change. You would also need metal shields to be placed in your eyes like contacts each time you had the treatments in order to properly protect your eyes ffrom the laser. However, tthe unibrow can be shaped successfully and safely with laser hair removal.

There are reports in the medical literature that laser hair removal of eyebrows resulted in problems with the iris and in cataracts, as well as persistent inflammation of the eye.

Laser hair removal should not be used to shape eyebrows.  For glabellar laser hair removal (between the brows), one would need to use internal eyeshields and the patient has to be made aware of the potential risks to the eye from the procedure.

 

You did not mention which laser was used for your treatment but some lasers certainly work better for permanent hair removal than others. We use the GentleMAX workstation by Candela. This laser combines the treatment capabilities of the GentleLASE & GentleYAG lasers so most skin types can be effectively treated. Lasers are specifically designed to remove unwanted hair faster, with less discomfort, and more reliability than all other methods.  Lasers creates a beam of highly concentrated light that penetrates deep into the skin where it delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat. This light energy is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to destroy numerous follicles at a time and leave the surrounding skin unaffected. We have used this laser quite effectively for permanent eyebrow hair removal.
