What’s the secret to reviving my brows?

Anti-agers no one but you need know about

- by Inge van Lotringen

QI AM in my 80s and my eyebrows have started to thin out. I pencil them in each day, but could you suggest some other means to repair the loss?

AI thInk you should consider microbladi­ng — it’s a new-ish trend, but don’t let that stop you! A technician will insert pigment under the skin with an ultra-fine blade, drawing hair-like strokes.

the beauty is, the pigment won’t bleed into one block colour, as can happen with semi-permanent tattooing, but retains its hair-like effect.

numbing cream makes the process bearable. Results are really natural and last up to three years depending on your skin type and age. You can intensify the colour and shape at will with brow make-up.

London brow queen Vaishaly Patel recommends finding a specialist with plenty of beforeand-after photograph­s (there will be a little blood, so look for afters shown post-healing).

they should also offer a proper consultati­on that involves discussing and carefully drawing the shape of the brow, plus determinin­g the right colour before pushing ahead with the blading.

that’s what you get at the Vaishaly Clinic, where the twoand-a-half hour process plus follow-up costs £400, or £650 with Vaishaly herself.

Around the country, expect prices from £150.
