The Eyebrow Embroidery Experience: What to Expect During and After the Procedure
Want to get beautiful and natural-looking eyebrows without the fuss of daily makeup application? Then Korean eyebrow embroidery may be the solution for you! A simple yet fuss-free way of getting the perfect semi-permanent eyebrows, it’s no wonder that eyebrow embroidery has been growing in popularity in recent times.
But if you’ve never experienced this procedure before, trying it for the first time can be understandably daunting. Join us as we guide you through every step, from the initial consultation to post-procedure care.
Consultation phase
First things first, your brow technician will hold a comprehensive consultation with you to understand your preferences, facial features, and desired eyebrow shape. They’ll also take a look at your natural brow structure, skin tone, and hair colour to create a design that flatters your features.
Don’t hesitate to communicate any concerns or preferences with your technician at this point. After all, eyebrow embroidery is a semi-permanent procedure, which is why it’s important to ensure that you are comfortable with the process and happy with the outcome.
The intricate process of eyebrow embroidery
Now that preparations are out of the way, let’s go through the eyebrow embroidery process.
First, your technician will design the shape and style of your eyebrows. This involves using specialised tools such as brow pencils or stencils to outline your desired brow shape while also taking into account factors such as symmetry, arch placement, and thickness.
Next, a topical numbing cream or gel may be applied to the eyebrow area. Though eyebrow embroidery typically will not cause discomfort or pain, you can always request for more numbing to be applied during the embroidery process.
Finally, with a handheld tool equipped with ultra-fine disposable needles, your technician will carefully implant the pigment into your skin while following the earlier design. The key is to create tiny hair-like strokes that mimic the appearance of natural eyebrows, truly demonstrating the precision and artistry of this procedure.
Post-procedure care
After your eyebrow embroidery procedure, make sure to follow the instructions for proper post-procedure care. This will aid the healing process and also ensure longer-lasting results.
Firstly, you should keep your brow area away from water. This means that you’ll need to avoid activities that cause you to sweat excessively, and keep your face away from the water when you shower.
Next, stay away from sunlight for at least the first 2 weeks after your procedure. Exposure to sunlight so soon after your eyebrow embroidery may cause the semi-permanent pigment applied to your brows to fade.
Lastly, do not apply any ointment, makeup, or skincare to your brow area. Instead, remember to apply the healing cream provided to you by your technician, and apply it twice a day for the first week for optimal results.
Admire the results
It’s perfectly normal to feel excited about seeing the results of your eyebrow embroidery, but you’ll actually have to go through a recovery phase first.
For the first 5 days, you may observe some redness and swelling, and your eyebrows may look darker than expected. By day 6, your brows should begin to scab. This may look alarming, but as long as you avoid picking at the area, your scabs should fall off in a few days and reveal a lighter and more natural shade.
If you spot any unevenness in colour, don’t stress — this often happens because your skin heals unevenly. Just give it a few more days, and soon enough, you’ll be able to see the results of your eyebrow embroidery! However, if there are still any irregularities, don’t hesitate to revisit your technician for a quick touch-up to ensure your brows are perfect.

Eyebrow removal methods
If you’ve had undesirable results from a previous eyebrow embroidery procedure, not all hope is lost. There are several eyebrow removal methods that can get rid of unwanted pigments in your brows.
• Laser removal
Laser removal can effectively target and break down the pigments in your eyebrow by emitting concentrated light energy onto the affected area. However, laser removal may not work as well with reddish or greenish colours.
On the other hand, chemical removal involves applying specialised solutions to break down and lift the unwanted pigments. This process helps to gradually fade or remove the semi-permanent brow tattoo, providing a non-invasive method to correct your eyebrow appearance.
Even though Korean eyebrow embroidery is a safe and straightforward process, understanding the intricacies of the procedure can give you some peace of mind. But with a trusted studio like Dreamlash, you can rest assured that you’ll enjoy high-quality results in a comfortable setting!
