BEAUTY, BODY AND SCALP
Brow lamination is an eyebrow perming treatment that involves correcting the brow shape by setting the hairs in place using a chemical solution. Brow lamination is a two-step process. Firstly, a cream is applied that breaks down bonds in the eyebrow hairs so they can be manipulated into a new position. This is followed by a second cream that rebuilds these bonds and sets them in their new position. If you have unruly, flat or downward growing hairs, eyebrow lamination can change the direction of growth to create a more uniform look with a higher arch and a more desirable brow shape for up to 6 weeks.
The results using our BrowsSculpt product technology can dramatically enhance the shape of your eyebrows, helping you to achieve your dream brows in as little as one treatment. It’s ideal if you want to change your full brow shape, but did you know that our treatment can be tailored to correct smaller targeted unruly areas? Our stylists are trained to offer brow lamination in specific areas that suit your brow needs, perfect if you just want to add symmetry.
From an extreme brushed up look to a subtle lift (and everything in between), your brows will appear fuller in an instant using your existing brow hair, making it a great microblading alternative. In order to achieve this lift, brow lamination relaxes and reforms the hairs, which also makes them easier to manipulate in to your desired position - another bonus if you have unruly hairs! Your morning beauty routine just got a whole lot quicker.

Microneedling for hair loss treatment
Microneedlingis a type of cosmetic treatment that addresses various effects of aging. It’s also nicknamed skin needling
because of its effects on increasing collagenproduction in the skin.
It involves the use of a skin roller with small needles that cause minor skin injuries.
While used as an anti-aging skin treatment, microneedling may also be a method of treatment for hair loss. There’s even evidence that it can help hereditary hair loss, also known as alopecia.
The same process of creating wounds in the skin is also thought to regenerate the health of the hair follicles. It’s thought that this can result in new hair growth, or perhaps thicken thinning hair.
How it works
During microneedling, your doctor uses several needles, ranging between 0.25 and 3 millimeters long. They’re all contained in a handheld device. Also called a roller, the device is rolled along the treatment area, creating small injuries.
Unlike other treatments that target your skin’s surface, the needles used in the rollers extend to the middle layer of skin. As these microinjuries heal, your skin produces more collagen and fibers. It also helps to strengthen the hair follicles.
A doctor will apply a topical anesthetic to your scalp about 45 minutes prior to treatment. This helps to reduce any pain you may feel.
The actual procedure time can vary based on treatment area, but may take as little as 30 minutes. After the scalp microneedling is completed, the therapist will apply a soothing balm or serum to the area to alleviate inflammation and discomfort.
Speak with your doctor before you consider this treatment if you:
• have a history of acne, eczema, or open wounds
• have a condition that slows healing, such as diabetes
• are on blood thinners or other medications
Microneedling also isn’t recommended for people who are pregnant.
Using microneedling before minoxidil can increase the absorption of the treatment. However, this can also increase the risk of side effects from the minoxidil, such as:
• burning
• itching
• inflammation
Your scalp may be more sensitive to the sun after treatment. Wearing sunscreen every day is recommended. A hat can also help protect your scalp when outdoors.
Another risk of microneedling on your head is the possibility of infection. While the needles are small, they’re still inflicting wounds.
You’ll need to follow your aftercare instructions carefully to prevent infection. This often involves keeping the area clean for a few days, as well as using antiseptics to ward off bacteria.
You may be at an increased risk for infection if you’re in poor overall health, or if you have a history of frequent infections.
