Eyebrow Tattooing.
Eyebrow Tattooing is a non-surgical treatment offered at SkinMedics Pyrmont, delivered under medical supervision. Your suitability and plan are confirmed during a consultation.
Concerns it's designed to help
Sparse or over-plucked brows
Rebuilding a natural-looking shape and fullness for brows thinned by years of plucking, age or genetics.
Asymmetry & gaps
Evening out uneven brows or filling gaps and scars, mapped carefully to frame your face.
Time-saving definition
Waking up with defined, ready brows — far less daily pencil and powder.
What to expect
Every set of brows begins with mapping — measuring and drawing a shape to suit your face, then colour-matching to your hair and skin tone. Pigment is applied in fine, hair-like strokes or a soft powder finish and built up gradually, with a perfecting touch-up a few weeks later once the skin has healed.

Mapped, applied, perfected
An artistry-led process, built up gradually rather than rushed — so the result looks natural and suits you.

Pigment is applied gently and built up gradually, for a soft, natural finish rather than anything harsh.

Perfect
A perfecting touch-up a few weeks later refines shape and colour once the skin has healed.
What to expect afterwards
Cosmetic tattooing looks strongest on day one and settles for weeks afterwards. Knowing that in advance is most of the reassurance people need.
- Day 1 to 2 Brows look bold and darker than the shape you agreed, and the skin around them can be a little pink. This is the stage people photograph and worry about. It is not the result.
- Day 3 to 5 The surface begins to flake, like a healing graze. Do not pick it. Keep the area dry as instructed and off the pillow where you can.
- Day 7 to 10 Flaking finishes and the brows often look patchy or too light, because a fresh layer of skin sits over the pigment. This stage worries people more than day one does.
- Week 4 to 6 Colour and shape settle, and what you see now is close to the healed result.
- The perfecting session About six weeks after the first, once healing is complete. This is where shape, density and colour are refined, and it is part of the treatment rather than a fix.
A general guide — everyone heals a little differently, and your plan is always explained in your consultation.
Outcomes designed to last.
Brows soften considerably from the initial healed result over the first four to six weeks, with the true colour settling after the complimentary perfecting visit. Results typically last one to three years, fading gradually.

Frequently asked questions
How long does eyebrow tattooing last?
It's semi-permanent — typically around one to three years before a colour refresh, depending on your skin, lifestyle and sun exposure. That also means your shape can evolve with you over time.
Does it hurt?
A numbing cream is applied first and most people find it very manageable — more pressure than pain. We check in with you throughout.
What is the healing process?
Brows look bolder at first, then soften over one to two weeks as the skin heals and some pigment naturally settles. Simple aftercare — keeping the area clean and dry, no picking — protects the result.
How do I choose a shape?
Together. We map the shape to your facial proportions and natural brows, and colour-match to your hair and skin tone, so you approve the look before any pigment is applied.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is confirmed in your consultation, where we assess your brows and the work involved — including the perfecting touch-up that's part of the process.
Why do my brows look too dark at first?
Because pigment sits in the upper skin before it settles and the surface is still healing. Brows soften considerably over the first four to six weeks. We show you the shape before any pigment goes in, and nothing is drawn that you have not agreed to.
Can I still wear makeup, or exercise?
Keep makeup off the area and avoid heavy sweating, steam rooms and swimming while it heals, because moisture is what disturbs pigment. We give you the specifics for your skin rather than a generic list.
