Aging.

Over time, hair follicles shrink and produce thinner hair. Sometimes they stop producing hair altogether.

Plucking eyebrows.

Tweezing can damage your hair follicles, and overplucking can damage them to the point that they can’t produce hair anymore (as many who went all in on ’90s eyebrows can attest).

Skin conditions. 

When inflammation from psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis makes the skin itchy, scratching and rubbing can cause hair to fall out.

Medical conditions.

A thyroid deficiency; a hormonal imbalance; or an autoimmune disease, like alopecia areata, can lead to eyebrow thinning.

Common Treatment

Microbading is a semi-permanent tattoo that mimics real hair strokes, to fill out thin eyebrows and make them look more symmetrical. The technique uses a handheld tool containing dozens of tiny needles that deposit pigment into the superficial layers of the skin. A numbing cream is applied first, so the procedure shouldn’t be painful.

The pigment doesn’t go as deep as with a traditional tattoo, so the effect fades over time.

“When done properly, the ink should last anywhere from one to three years, with no buildup of scar tissue to inhibit future treatments,” says Zeiva. Sun exposure, skin-care products like retinoids, and facial treatments can cause the pigment to lighten faster.

The procedure is usually done in two phases. Four to six weeks after the first session, brows will lighten, soften, and shrink as they heal. During this second appointment, your technician can assess the retention and make modifications. Microblading has a tendency to look very ‘crisp’ immediately after, but as it heals, it becomes softer and somewhat blended.

“Microblading is an art and the canvas is your face, so make sure your provider has the technique that appeals to you and the talent to give you the results you desire” warns Zeiva.
