Eyebrows after cancer and chemotherapy

Chemotherapy can be a life-saving treatment, but it often comes with difficult side effects, including hair loss. For many, especially women, the loss of eyebrows is particularly hard to cope with. Eyebrows are a crucial element of facial expression, they frame eyes and define the face. Losing them can significantly impact self-esteem.

While it may seem like a small detail, eyebrows play a big role in how we feel about ourselves. After chemotherapy, many women struggle with the loss of their natural brows, which can make them feel less confident or attractive. Fortunately, semi-permanent makeup brings a solution, allowing women to reconstruct their eyebrows.

How semi-permanent makeup can help after chemotherapy?

Semi-permanent makeup is great for those who would like to recreate the look of lost eyebrows. This cosmetic treatment optically reconstructs eyebrows, and you don’t need to pencil them in every day.

By getting semi-permanent eyebrows, you’ll save time, avoid smudging, and feel more confident knowing your brows are always in place. This simple treatment can make a world of difference.

 

When should you get semi-permanent makeup, before or after chemotherapy?

Many women choose to get semi-permanent eyebrows before starting chemotherapy. Having the treatment done in advance will let your brows heal fully, so when you begin losing your eyebrows, the change is less dramatic.

If you didn’t have the procedure done beforehand, you can still have the eyebrow reconstruction post-chemotherapy. It’s important to let your body recover before having the treatment, we need to wait six months after your final chemotherapy session to make sure your immune system is strong enough to handle the procedure.
