How to Shape Your Eyebrows with Laser Hair Removal

Can Laser Hair Removal Shape Your Eyebrows?

Yes, but only the center area (aka the unibrow). Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to remove hair between the brows, helping define and balance your overall eyebrow shape for a cleaner, more sculpted look that’s easier to maintain.

Why Choose Laser Hair Removal for Eyebrow Shaping?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and damage hair follicles, helping prevent future growth. It’s especially effective for dark, coarse hair on lighter skin, though newer technology has expanded its use to all skin tones and more hair types.

Compared to tweezing or waxing, eyebrow laser hair removal treatments:

  • Are significantly faster and more convenient
  • Cause less irritation over time
  • Offer longer-lasting results
  • Can permanently reduce hair regrowth after multiple sessions

Is It Safe To Laser Eyebrows?

Yes, when performed by trained professionals and limited to safe treatment zones. Laser hair removal for the center brow is FDA-approved and generally well-tolerated, with minimal downtime.

Electrolysis: Why It’s Not Ideal for Eyebrow Shaping

Electrolysis removes hair one follicle at a time using heat energy. It works on all hair types, but it comes with drawbacks:

  • Sessions take much longer
  • You’ll need 15–30 visits for optimal results
  • The sensation is often described as painful, like sharp stinging

For a small area like the center brow, electrolysis is often more effort than it’s worth.

What to Expect from Eyebrow Laser Treatments

Before your session begins, you’ll be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser. Your nurse will start by testing the laser on a small section of your skin to make sure you’re comfortable with the sensation. 

The length of a laser hair removal procedure depends on the size of the treatment area, so typically a session can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. But if you’re only getting the hair on your eyebrows treated, it won’t take very long at all!

Once the treatment is complete, most patients can return to their daily activities right away. Dr. Will Kirby, Chief Medical Officer at LaserAway says, “Some patients may experience mild swelling and some transient itching after the treatment but those typically resolve very quickly.” It’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure following your session. We strongly recommend applying a high SPF sunscreen every day for several weeks after treatment to protect your skin and maintain your results.

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Most patients see permanent hair reduction after a series of treatments, but the exact number will depend on a variety of factors including genetics, hair density, and hormones. Because laser hair removal only works on hairs in the anagen (active growth) phase, multiple treatments are needed to fully target the area over time.

“It’s important to understand the three phases of hair growth so you can understand how laser hair removal works,” says Dr. Will Kirby. “The process requires patience, but the results are worth it.”

Ready to Say Goodbye to Unibrow Maintenance?
