Permanent Eyeliner for Alopecia
Permanent Eyeliner for Alopecia
Understanding the Technical Differences and Our Specialist Approach in Tetbury, Gloucestershire
Living with alopecia can affect far more than hair on the scalp. For many women, the loss of eyebrows and eyelashes changes how the face is framed and how confident they feel day to day. One of the most common concerns we hear is how difficult eye makeup becomes when there are no natural lashes to anchor it.
At Luisa Krayem Permanent Makeup in Tetbury, we regularly work with clients who have alopecia, including alopecia totalis and universalis. Permanent eyeliner can be a powerful, confidence-restoring solution, but it requires a different technical approach compared to standard cosmetic eyeliner tattooing.
Why Permanent Eyeliner Is Different for Clients With Alopecia
When a client has natural lashes, eyeliner can sit within or just above the lash line, using the lashes to soften and disguise the pigment. With alopecia, those visual reference points are missing, which means precision and restraint are essential.
For clients with alopecia, we adapt the treatment in several important ways:
1. Lash Line Reconstruction
Without lashes, the aim is not to create a bold eyeliner look but to rebuild the illusion of a natural lash line. Pigment placement is carefully adjusted so the result enhances the eye without looking heavy or obvious.
2. Softer Pigment Choices
We select pigments that heal gently and naturally. Colours are chosen to complement skin tone and eye colour, and to soften as they heal, rather than remaining too strong or harsh.
3. Modified Depth and Pressure
Skin that has experienced long-term hair loss can behave differently. We work at a controlled depth, using lighter pressure and refined techniques to ensure clean healing and minimise trauma.
4. Shape Tailored to Eye Anatomy
With no lashes to balance the eye, shape becomes even more important. The eyeliner is designed specifically for each eye, taking into account lid shape, symmetry, and how the eyes move when open and closed.
5. Healing Expectations and Aftercare
Fresh eyeliner always appears darker initially. For clients with alopecia, we spend extra time explaining the healing process so there are no surprises. Over several weeks, the colour softens into a subtle, smoky definition that feels natural and wearable.
