Additionally, Healy says that eyebrow extensions make for more realistic-looking arches altogether.
However, since they’re not long-lasting, they tend to only be a top pick for special occasions.
“Eyebrow extensions are great for nights out, photoshoots, events,” he shares.
The one exception to this rule is if you want to show your brow specialist your desired brow look.
What to Expect During Eyebrow Extensions
The eyebrow extension process mimics the lash extension process.
Logistically, the brow fibers are simply glued on.
Each fiber is individually placed to create your optimal brow shape.
Eyebrow Extensions vs. Microblading
Eyebrow extensions andmicrobladingare two ways to create fuller-looking brows.
“Microblading is a more permanent solution than eyebrow extensions,” Healy says.
The downside is that brow extensions typically last only a week or two.
Because of this, he says that the treatment isn’t as widely requested.
Potential Side Effects
Eyebrow extensions are generally considered to be safe and harmless.
That said, there’s always the chance that you have a glue allergy.
Considering the results only last up to two weeks, this treatment is quite an investment.
For longer-lasting brow enhancements, consider microblading,tinting, orlamination.
