Brow Services
Waxing/Tinting/Lamination
Professional brow waxing, tinting, and lamination at Sanger Avenue Medical Aesthetics in Waco, Texas.
Your brows frame everything. The right shape, color, and structure can open up the eyes, lift the entire face, and make every other feature read more clearly, with or without makeup.
At Sanger Avenue Medical Aesthetics, we offer three professional brow services: waxing, tinting, and lamination. Each of these address a different aspect of brow appearance. Whether you're looking for a clean, precise shape, richer color and definition, or the full lifted and groomed look that brow lamination provides, our team delivers results that are polished, natural, and tailored to your specific brow structure and facial features.
Brow services can be performed individually or combined in a single appointment for a complete brow transformation.
Understanding Your Brow Service Options:
The three brow services we offer each address a distinct aspect of brow appearance.
Waxing is about shape and precision, removing unwanted hair to define and frame the brow.
Tinting is about color and depth, enhancing the richness and visibility of your brows with a semi-permanent color.
Lamination is about structure and lift, setting the brow hairs in an upward, groomed position for a fuller and more sculpted look that lasts weeks.
Which Service (or Combination of Services) is Right for You?
Patients with naturally full brows who simply want clean shaping benefit most from waxing alone.
Patients with lighter or sparser brows who want more visible definition without makeup often find tinting transformative.
Patients with unruly, downward-growing, or flat brow hairs who want a more structured, lifted look are typically the most dramatic responders to lamination.
Many patients combine all three in a single appointment for the most complete result, and your provider will recommend the right approach for your specific brows.
Brow Waxing
What it is: Professional brow shaping using warm wax and precision technique to remove unwanted hair and define the brow into a clean, flattering shape customized to your facial structure.
What it does:
- Removes unwanted hair above, below, and between the brows with precision.
- Creates a defined, lifted arch shape.
- Produces a cleaner, more polished appearance than threading or tweezing alone
- Results last 3-4 weeks before regrowth requires a touch-up.
Who it's for: Any patient wanting professional brow shaping. Suitable for most skin types. Please let your provider know if you're using retinoids or other active skincare products, as these can affect skin sensitivity to waxing.
What to expect: Warm wax is applied to the unwanted hair areas and removed quickly. The sensation is a brief, mild sting that resolves immediately. The entire service takes approximately 15 minutes. Some mild redness around the brow area is normal and typically resolves within an hour.
Brow Tinting
What it is: A semi-permanent tinting treatment that deposits color onto the brow hairs as well as the skin beneath them. This enhances depth, richness, and definition for brows that look full and groomed with or without makeup.
What it does:
- Darkens and enriches the color of existing brow hairs.
- Adds visible definition to sparse or light brows.
- Colors fine hairs that are barely visible, making brows appear fuller.
- Tints the skin beneath the brows for a filled-in appearance even between hairs.
- Results typically last 3-6 weeks on the hairs and 1-2 weeks on the skin.
Who it's for:
- Patients with naturally light, blonde, red, or gray brow hairs who want more visible definition.
- Patients who regularly fill in their brows with makeup and want to reduce or eliminate that step.
- Anyone wanting richer, more defined brows with minimal effort.
What to expect: The tint is carefully mixed to match your desired color and applied to the brow area. It processes for a short time before being removed. The service takes approximately 15-20 minutes and involves no discomfort.
Brow Lamination
What it is: A chemical treatment that restructures the brow hairs (straightening, lifting, and setting them in an upward direction for a fuller, more groomed, and more sculpted appearance that lasts 4-6 weeks.
What it does:
- Lifts flat or downward-growing brow hairs upward for a more open and defined look.
- Creates the appearance of fuller, thicker brows by spreading hairs evenly across the brow area.
- Sets brows in a consistent, groomed position throughout the day (no brushing required).
- Produces a fluffy, structured brow look that holds its shape for weeks.
Who it's for:
- Patients with unruly, flat, or downward-growing brow hairs.
- Patients wanting the brushed-up, feathered brow look.
- Patients with sparse brows who want to maximize the appearance of fullness from existing hairs.
- Anyone tired of spending time styling their brows each morning.
- NOT recommended for patients with very fine or fragile brow hairs or active skin irritation in the brow area.
What to expect: A series of solutions are applied to the brow hairs in sequence: a lifting solution to restructure the hair bonds, a setting solution to lock them in their new position, and a nourishing treatment to restore moisture to the hair. The service takes approximately 45-60 minutes. Some patients combine brow lamination with tinting and waxing in the same appointment for a complete brow transformation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely, and many patients do. Done together in the right sequence, these three services produce a complete brow transformation that requires minimal daily maintenance. Your provider will recommend the right combination for your specific brow goals.
Brow waxing results last approximately 3-4 weeks before regrowth requires a touch-up. Brow tinting lasts 3-6 weeks on the hairs and approximately 1-2 weeks on the skin. Brow lamination holds its lift and structure for 4-6 weeks before the hairs gradually return to their natural direction. Most patients schedule a combination appointment every 4-6 weeks to maintain their results.
When performed correctly with appropriate products and technique, brow lamination is generally well-tolerated by most brow hairs. Patient with very fine, fragile, or over-processed brow hairs may be more susceptible to dryness or breakage. Your provider will assess your your brow hair condition before recommending lamination and can advise on whether a conditioning treatment is appropriate. Following the aftercare instructions (particularly keeping brows dry for the first 24 hours) helps maintain hair health and prolong results.
Yes! Brow services are routinely combined with injectable appointments. In fact, brow shaping and Botox in the forehead and glabellar area are a particularly complementary pairing, as the lifted brow effect of Botox is enhanced by a well-shaped, defined brow. Your provider will coordinate the timing of services at your appointment.
Patients using retinoids, AHA/BHA acids, or other exfoliating active ingredients should let their provider know before waxing, as these products increase skin turnover and can make the skin more sensitive and susceptible to lifting with wax removal. A patch test or alternative hair removal method may be recommended. Discontinuing retinoids for several days before waxing is typically advised. Your provider will give you specific guidance at your consultation.
Brow services pair naturally with any facial or injectable appointment. Botox or DAXXIFY in the glabellar and forehead areas can be coordinated with brow shaping to enhance the lifted, defined look that both treatments contribute to. For patients interested in a complete eye area rejuvenation, Plasmage for eyelid tightening done a couple of months prior to brow lamination or tinting creates a notably refreshed appearance. Healthy and radiant skin will always be the best background for any type of brow treatment, and can be achieved through many treatments such as NouvaDERM, IPL Photofacials, traditional facials, and medical-grade skincare (such as from our SkinCeuticals and Hydrinity lines).
