Preparing for Chemotherapy

Semi-Permanent Brows Before Chemotherapy: What You Need to Know

If you're preparing for chemotherapy, you might be considering semi-permanent brows as a way to maintain your appearance and boost your confidence during treatment. But when is the right time to get this procedure done? Let's break it down for you.

Timing is Everything

For semi-permanent brow procedures, timing is crucial. Here's what you need to know:

  • You'll likely need 2-3 sessions, spaced at least 6 weeks apart

  • Your final session should be completed at least 6 weeks before starting chemotherapy

  • This timeline allows for proper healing and pigment settling

The Healing Process

After each session, your skin will need time to heal. During this period:

  • You may experience some sensitivity, minor swelling, or redness

  • It's important to allow full healing without the added stress of chemotherapy

Benefits of Planning Ahead

Getting your semi-permanent brows done before chemotherapy can offer several advantages:

  • Enter treatment with one less thing to worry about

  • Boost your confidence during a challenging time

  • Maintain a sense of normalcy in your appearance

A Word of Caution

Always consult with your healthcare provider before scheduling any semi-permanent makeup procedure. They can offer personalized advice based on your specific health situation and treatment plan.

By planning ahead and working closely with both your healthcare team and a skilled semi-permanent makeup artist, you can face your chemotherapy journey with beautifully defined brows and an extra boost of confidence.
