Laser treatment may be effective in correcting unibrows and excess hair between the eyebrows, also known as the glabella, however there are certain rules and precautions that must be observed in order to be safe.
Other hair removal methods, such as waxing, threading and tweezing can be painful and time consuming, leaving skin reddening as well as often being uncomfortable for users. Laser hair removal provides an easy, pain-free and permanent solution.
1. It’s a Permanent Solution
Eyebrows are an integral component of facial aesthetics, and shaping or trimming them to your desired style is often necessary for overall harmony. Laser treatment offers an effective and permanent way to do just this – so no more upkeep with tweezers and scissors needed!
Laser eyebrow hair removal is typically an innocuous procedure performed by an experienced dermatologist or licensed cosmetic technician. A laser beam focuses light onto unwanted hair to destroy it at its source to prevent future growth; typically six to eight sessions will be necessary depending on factors like your hair color, density, hormone levels and sex status.
Before coming in for treatment, it is advisable to shave the area a few days in advance in order to create contrast between skin and hair that allows laser heat energy to more effectively target pigment and kill hair follicles. You should also refrain from sun exposure and tanning beds during this time as well as plucking/tweezing of this area in the weeks leading up to your appointment.
Laser hair removal in the eyebrow area known as the glabella should be safe for most people; however, it should not be performed if someone has herpes infections (genital or oral), is pregnant, or breastfeeding.

2. It’s Safe
As opposed to other methods for eyebrow hair removal, lasers don’t involve painful methods like waxing or pulling; rather, they target individual hair follicles with light pulses which destroy them without harming nearby skin cells or tissue. When conducted by certified professionals, laser hair removal is generally considered safe.
Eyebrows are delicate areas, easily damaged by heat. Laser technology offers an effective and painless solution to remove unwanted hairs from this part of the face safely and quickly. Most describe the experience as feeling similar to snapping rubber bands or sunburn-like sensations, although patients may experience temporary redness and swelling which typically subside quickly.
Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually every part of the body where hair grows; however, eyebrow area requires special consideration due to its proximity to the eyes. Therefore, any treatment must be administered by a certified technician with extensive knowledge about both power and risks of the machine; pre-treatment instructions must also be carefully adhered to and no tanninners used prior to appointments.

3. It’s Effective
Laser hair removal on your unibrow is one of the best ways to permanently eliminate unwanted eyebrow hair. Treatment takes only minutes and is generally safe for most individuals – perfect for people with sensitive skin!
Laser hair removal requires several sessions before it yields significant results. Each treatment session begins by sitting comfortably in a treatment chair while wearing protective eyewear, followed by moving over each area a few times using the laser light source and treating all hair follicles. After each treatment session, your skin might appear red or slightly swollen afterward; to minimize this side effect use an ice pack on affected area afterward or use broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen daily as sun exposure must also be limited.
Depilatories shave away top layers of hair before plucking out at its root; laser treatments target pigment and cut the roots at their bases, leaving no trace of hair behind. Shaving, plucking and waxing may make the area less responsive to laser treatment, so stop all such methods approximately six weeks prior to your first appointment.
Other hair removal methods suitable for unibrows include electrolysis and tweezing. Electrolysis works by killing the root of each individual hair using strong electric currents; after several sessions, this hair won’t come back. Tweezing is another popular solution.
Before choosing laser hair removal on your eyebrows, it is essential that a patch test be conducted. In addition, look for clinics with trained technicians who are registered and certified in performing it – these will have valid licenses as well as certification numbers to substantiate that they meet stringent standards of skill and training. At iLuvo Beauty we use Soprano ICE Platinum by Alma Lasers which offers cutting edge solutions on the market for our laser hair removal service.
4. It’s Affordable
Laser hair removal may be your answer if you’re fed up with struggling against stubborn patches of hair in your eyebrows and want them gone forever. Compared to waxing which may leave the skin red and sensitive for hours afterward and shaving which only removes surface layers of hair but doesn’t reach to its root, laser treatments are quick, virtually pain-free options.
Medical professionals use laser machines for this procedure. A cryogenic coolant is released prior to each laser pulse in order to minimize discomfort; you may feel an uncomfortable sting similar to snapping rubber bands against your face as the heat energy from absorbing into hair follicles is released; topical anesthetic may also be applied as needed; typically 6-8 sessions are needed in order to achieve permanent results.
Laser treatments offer an affordable long-term hair removal solution, especially when compared to the costs associated with other hair removal methods such as waxing. Salon visits for waxing can become very expensive while shaving at home may prove more expensive; though if you feel comfortable enough doing it on your own, saving money might be possible by shaving at home instead.
Laser hair removal may not be covered by Medicare, but it remains an affordable solution for those who can afford it. You may even use your health savings account or flexible spending account to cover its cost. Just remember if you take any prescription medicines they could interfere with its effectiveness; additionally for optimal results it’s recommended you stop tweezing and waxing six weeks before beginning treatments.
5. It’s Time-Saving
Unruly unibrows can be difficult to manage. Not only does their appearance evoke disdain, but their upkeep requires daily tweezing, waxing or threading — which are often painful processes with only temporary results.
Getting tired of shaving every few weeks? Try laser hair removal as a more permanent and cost-effective solution; its faster, faster results outshone any traditional methods, as well as eliminating future salon visits! Plus, laser will save both money and time in the long run!
Laser hair removal works by targeting light beams to hair follicles and disrupting their ability to produce new hair, thus permanently disabling their growth potential. Although intended as a lasting solution, occasional follow-up sessions may be necessary.
Laser hair removal can be safe for all skin types when performed by a qualified and licensed technician. Before scheduling appointments, however, it’s essential to locate an appropriate clinic and laser technician – one who uses high-grade machines like Alma Laser’s Soprano ICE Platinum will likely give better results than its competition.
Your initial laser hair removal session begins by applying a cooling gel to your eyebrow area, followed by lying back while the device passes a hand piece over it – many patients describe this feeling like rubber bands snapping against their skin! After treatment is completed, a soothing aloe vera solution will be applied by your technician for skin soothing purposes.
As part of your preparations for your initial appointment, it’s advisable to stop tweezing and waxing approximately six weeks in advance in order for the laser treatment to target all hair follicles down to their roots effectively. Shaving is still permissible between treatments but avoiding shaving for several days prior to your session is recommended for maximum efficacy.
