Eyebrow Lamination in Review: What is it
What is an Eyebrow Lamination?
Eyebrow lamination is the game-changer for anyone looking to achieve glossy, full, and perfectly groomed brows without the need for daily maintenance. This treatment smooths, lifts, and sets brow hairs into place, creating a more polished and defined look. It's a go-to service for those with unruly brows, gaps, or brows that lack symmetry.
How does brow lamination work?
The brow lamination process at Gameela Skin is designed to give you effortlessly stunning brows with a smooth, lifted appearance. The treatment typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour and involves several key steps:
Preparation: Brows are cleaned and brushed into place. I’ll apply a skin barrier cream to the area around your eyebrows to protect the skin and create a safety barrier between your skin and the lifting solution.
Lifting Solution: A gentle lifting solution or “permanent gel” is applied to soften the hair bonds, allowing them to be reshaped.
Setting Solution: The “neutralizing cream” will repair any bonds that were broken through the permanent gel process and set the new direction of hair growth into place.
Optional Tinting: If you opt for a tint, I’ll apply it after removing the neutralizing cream.
Nourishing Treatment: A regenerating cream is applied to restore moisture.
How long does brow lamination last?
Brow lamination results typically last between six to eight weeks. To help your laminated brows stay gorgeous even longer, show them a little TLC! This includes following the aftercare instructions I’ll provide at Gameela Skin. For the first 24 hours, avoid excessive moisture, and be sure to nourish your brows regularly with oils like castor oil. A little love goes a long way in keeping your brows flawless!
How to prep for a brow lamination?
To get the best results from your brow lamination, follow these pre-treatment steps:
Avoid using retinol or exfoliating treatments on the brow area for at least one week before your appointment.
Refrain from tweezing or trimming your brows beforehand.
Ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup when arriving for your appointment.
Is Brow lamination worth it?
While I may be biased, the short answer is YES brow lamination is worth it.
As a trusted brow professional, I’ll give you some more context. If you love the look of fuller, well-groomed brows but don’t want the commitment of microblading, brow lamination is an excellent choice. It’s a non-invasive, painless, and budget-friendly way to achieve perfectly styled brows for weeks at a time.

Brow Lamination Appointment: What To Expect?
Step 1: Preparation & Application of Lifting Solution
First, I’ll shape your brows with a wax if needed. Then, a protective skin barrier cream is applied around the brows to prevent irritation. The lifting solution (or permanent gel) is then carefully applied to relax the hair structure, allowing the brows to be reshaped. To ensure full absorption, I’ll place a strip of Saran Wrap over the brows, letting the solution sit for the appropriate time based on your hair type.
Step 2: Neutralizing & Shaping
Next, I’ll apply a neutralizing cream, which sets the new shape in place by restoring the bonds in the hair. This is the step where we create that perfect brushed-up look. Another strip of Saran Wrap is placed over the brows to let the solution work its magic. If you opt for a tint, we apply it after this step to enhance the color and fullness of your brows.
Step 3: Hydration & Final Touches
To finish your lamination treatment, I’ll apply a regenerating cream that replenishes lost moisture, leaving your brows hydrated and glossy. This cream should stay on for 24 hours, after which you can gently wash it off with a mild cleanser.
Brow Lamination Aftercare
Post-care is crucial to maintaining your freshly laminated brows. I recommend following these simple aftercare tips:
24-Hours Post Brow Lamination
Your brows may look slightly shiny due to the hydrating cream. Keep them dry and avoid any excessive touching.
Avoid moisture, steam, and sweating for the first 24 hours.
Don’t touch or sleep directly on your brows for 24 hours.
48-Hours Post Brow Lamination
Apply nourishing oils to maintain hydration and keep your brows looking fresh.
After showering, brush your brows into place while they’re still wet using a mascara wand.
Schedule a brow wax in 3-4 weeks and your next lamination in 6-8 weeks.
