For eyebrows, I suggest electrolysis. Hopefully someone else can chime in with more details.

Electrolysis is basically the only option for eyebrows, you don't want to laser there, it's too close to your eyes and can be dangerous. They usually charge by the minute and you should see results quickly.

Yes it does. Laser does not work on light/red hair

Bottom line any facial hair do electrolysis.

Yes only electrolysis will do the job. I had mine done about ten years ago and BH they are still perfect. There’s just one hair that for some reason never got done properly lol so I do tweeze just that one occasionally. But literally never have to do any other maintenance. It was a great investment!

Re how it works: technician uses a pokey wand thing that sends an electrical current into the follicle to kill it. Then she tweezes out the hair itself. Repeat as often as needed to remove all hairs. Then in about 3-4 weeks you go back. After a bit of time you can go longer between appts. Then by about a year I was done.

One caveat to permanent hair removal of eyebrows: shapes of eyebrows go through different styles. Don't do anything too much.
One of my friends has very thin eyebrows and it always filling them out with makeup bc when she did electrolysis very thin eyebrows were in.

Styles change but I don’t think unibrow will ever be in also
Not thick thick eyebrows that grow totally out of shape.

Yeah I did no style. Just removed everything that was “out of the line”. They look great and I get lots of compliments lol.
