Introduction
Eyebrow bleaching is a cosmetic procedure that removes eyebrow pigmentation through chemical or physical methods. Chemical bleaching usually takes longer, potentially requiring 1-2 hours to thoroughly remove the pigment, and primarily works by using a solution to dissolve the pigment. Physical bleaching methods, such as laser or microwave treatments, are more expensive but quicker, potentially removing pigment thoroughly in 20-30 minutes. These methods work by applying energy to stimulate the skin and fade the pigmentation.
Generally, eyebrow washing is a cosmetic procedure that removes pigmentation in the eyebrow area through specific techniques, such as chemical, laser, or microwave treatments. The usual reference price for eyebrow washing ranges from 50 to 3000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can generally be seen within 2 to 5 days. The duration required for eyebrow washing mainly depends on the method used. If a chemical method is chosen, the process may take 1–2 hours. If a physical method is chosen, it may take approximately 20–30 minutes. Detailed explanations are as follows:
If a chemical method is selected, such as applying acid locally to fade pigmentation, the eyebrow washing process may take longer—usually 1–2 hours to thoroughly remove the pigment. This method works by using chemical solutions to dissolve the pigmentation. If the results are unsatisfactory, the acid can be reapplied, but treatments should be spaced 1–2 months apart to minimize skin damage.
However, if a physical method is chosen, such as laser or microwave eyebrow washing, the treatment time is significantly reduced, usually requiring only 20–30 minutes to complete. These methods work by directly applying specific wavelengths or energy to the skin surface to fade pigmentation, gradually lightening the color of the eyebrows.
In addition, the required treatment time also depends on the depth of the pigmentation. Prior consultation with a physician is recommended before undergoing eyebrow washing, and an appropriate method should be selected based on individual circumstances.
