WHAT IS HD BROWS?

 HD Brows is a seven-step eyebrow shaping treatment that focuses on design.  It involves a combination of techniques, including tinting, waxing and threading using specialist HD Brows products.  There is also a full range of products you can purchase to enhance your brows in- between visits.

WHAT ARE THE BENIFITS OF HD BROWS? 

HD Brows will create a huge difference to the face; it will enhance your facial features and can give the effect of a brow lift.

HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED THE HD BROWS TREATMENT

The length of time your results will last depends on how quickly your hair grows back and how well your hair holds colour.  On average you will need them done every 4 weeks.

WILL I GET THE RESULT I WANT STRAIGHT AWAY?

Most people get the HD Brows look immediately.  However, sometimes it takes a number of visits for your brows to be perfected.

I HAVE OVER PLUCKED MY BROWS.  CAN I STILL HAVE HD BROWS?

Yes.  You will be put on a re-growth programme that will train your brows into shape over a course of visits.

To speed up your re-growth and make your brows look better between visits, there are HD Brows products that will stimulate growth and make your eyebrows appear full and defined.

CAN I CHOOSE A SHAPE?

Absolutely.  Brow shapes are tailored to the individual as they have to suit your look and personality.  Your brows can be made dark or light, thick or thin, sharp or soft.

Your input is very important in deciding the best shape and look for you. Your stylist will consider your hair growth, look, and colouring and face shape when deciding on your brow design.

WHERE HAVE HD BROWS COME FROM AND WHY THE SUDDEN CRAZE?

From celebrity brow shapers Nilam and Amita Patel who have created the HD BROWS shaping method.   Part craze is because of the celeb following and the press/media coverage.   Katie Price trained in the treatment herself along with her make-up artist and beauty therapist so they showed it on her show.    After being shown on her show, it created a huge amount of interest both in the UK and stateside.

Many celebrities are known for having the HD Brows treatment, some can be found by visiting http://www.hd-brows.co.uk/celebrity-gallery

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HD BROWS TREATMENT AND A REGULAR BROW SHAPE AND TINT?

It is a seven-step process and focuses mainly on brow design not hair removal.  They are:-

1. Preperation and assessment
2. Tinting
3. Waxing
4. Trimming
5. Threading
6. Tweezer
7. Finishing touches

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS?

An HD Brows technician will take into account the clients face shape, hair growth and colour, personality, age and expectations to design the best brows for that person.   It is not a set or standard shape.   It is individually designed to enhance the features of each person.

It often requires aftercare and re-growth from the client but the client doesn’t have to walk around with hairy brows for months as it can be done gradually.  HD Brows products are also available to purchase for home care maintenance in between treatment.

IS IT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?  (ALL SKIN COLOURS?)

Yes, definitely, all age groups, young and old, male and female, any skin colouring and suitable for most types of hair growth to the brow area as well.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

£25 – £50 depending on where you have it done.

AM I SUITABLE FOR HD BROWS BECAUSE I HAVE A SCAR IN MY EYE BROW & WILL THE HD BROWS TREATMENT HIGHLIGHT OR DISGUISE THE SCAR?

Depending on where the scar is and how big, it will help disguise it but the client will be shown how to draw in a few hair strokes to camouflage it every day.

HOW LONG DO HD BROWS LAST?

It can take a few sessions to achieve the right HD Brows shape as many people have over plucked and spoiled their natural shape.  Regular maintenance is needed and HD Brows products are also available to purchase to use for home care maintenance in between treatment.

DO CLIENTS NEED MAINTENANCE TREATMENTS?  IF SO, HOW OFTEN?

Regular treatments on a monthly basis will be needed to maintain the best result. 

IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE THIN EYEBROWS LOOK FULLER WITH HD BROWS?

For most people yes however the treatment will not replace non-existent brows if related to genetic hair growth, or illness.

WITH THREADING AND WAXING, YOU USUALLY HAVE TO LEAVE HAIR TO GROW BEFORE THE NEXT TREATMENT, IS THIS THE SAME FOR HD BROWS?

You do not need to let them grow back to bushy again.  The aim is to have nicely maintained brows that have a consistent shape

I’M THINKING OF TRAINING IN HD BROWS, WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?

Flexi glue is a rubber-toughened glue, which dries flexible and bends with the natural lash. The concept was developed from this original product. The MYscara product itself is a blend of powdered thickening fibres, rubber toughened cyanoacryalate and extra black pigment. The fibres also make the product 100% waterproof. It is the only pre blended product in the UK market. The ingredients are tested on humans and safe for use on humans.

Galina Bowman, Be Flawless explains this new revolutionary beauty treatments which is now offered.

Hialurox Anti Aging Hyaluronic Laser System was developed by a large beauty equipment company CORPORA, based in Spain, as a natural, pain-free alternative to dermal fillers and other injectables.

The secret of the Hialurox treatment lies in the synergy of the Cold Laser and unique Hyaluronic Acid gel.

Hyaluronic Acid is present naturally in all living organisms. It plays an essential role in the binding of tissues, acting decisively in the spaces existing between the cells of the tissues (extracellular space).

Recent research has proven that the alterations of aging skin, including sagging, wrinkles, dry appearance and loss of elasticity, are closely related to the role of Hyaluronic Acid in the skin.

The amount of HA we produce is at its highest levels in new-born babies. By the age of 40, it has decreased by 50% and after the age of 60, we have barely 10% of the original levels we were born with.

Creams and serums containing Ha (molecular weight 75 microns) deliver good results on the surface, but do not manage to penetrate the skin’s pores, which have a diameter of 40 microns.

The secret of the professional Hialurox system lies in the Hyaluronic Acid gel, fragmented and encapsulated in nanospheres, enriched with vitamin C and Elm extract.The HA thus manages to penetrate the deepest basal layers of epidermis.

The action of the Cold Laser restores the fragmented molecules, returning them to their original size.

The restored HA molecules adhere to the basal cells, helping these to swell back to the size they were when the skin was young. Penetrating the epidermal layers with the restored HA molecules stimulate the generation of new HA, as well as the production of new collagen and elastin.

Hialurox is not just another conventional anti-aging treatment, but rather a process of teaching our skin to produce Hyaluronic Acid, as well as activating the natural process by which the skin produces them.

The Hialurox treatment is offered at Be Flawless by Galina Bowman who has kindly written this feature for Beauty Finder. If you want to find out more you can contact Galina below.
