Introduction

The duration of embroidered eyebrows is influenced by individual constitution, metabolism, post-operative care, and the materials used. For individuals with good constitution, moderate metabolism, and proper aftercare, the results can generally last 3-5 years or even longer. Conversely, these factors may affect the post-operative outcome, reducing the duration to only 1-3 years or even less.

Generally, embroidery eyebrows (xiu mei) involves subtle coloring of the eyebrow area using specific tools and pigments. The reference price for eyebrow embroidery is usually 3,000-10,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement generally seen within 3-5 days. If the body's constitution is good, metabolism is moderate, and post-operative care is appropriate, the results may last for 3-5 years. However, if the body's constitution is poor, metabolism is fast, or post-operative care is improper, the effect may last only 1-3 years. A detailed explanation is as follows:

If the body's constitution is currently good, without underlying medical conditions, and metabolism is moderate, with proper post-operative care and no adverse reactions such as local redness, suppuration, or exudation, the results may last longer, usually 3-5 years or even longer. However, proper local care after the procedure is still necessary, avoiding early contact with water or other sources of infection.

If the individual's constitution is poor, accompanied by underlying diseases, and metabolism is rapid, improper post-operative care after eyebrow embroidery may lead to symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, exudation, suppuration, or bleeding at the treated area, which may affect the surgical outcome and shorten the duration of effect, usually to 1-3 years. In such cases, appropriate local care should be taken, and if the infection is severe, medications such as erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, or fusidic acid cream should be used timely as directed by a physician. If necessary, timely touch-up pigmentation under medical guidance is recommended.

In addition, the duration of results may vary depending on the different materials used for eyebrow embroidery. It is recommended to choose an appropriate eyebrow embroidery technique based on individual conditions and needs. Meanwhile, to ensure safety, the procedure should be performed at a formal and professional medical facility.
