Newjersey expat Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 looked in the archive and all I could find was a posting 2013. Has anyone has eyebrows done recently? Dermika, Penache? anywhere else? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Dermika, Dra. Monica Luquin. She is an Ophthalmologist and permanent makeup Dr. She does an excellent job. Since she is an M.D., she can inject Novocaine and no pain. It takes about an hour or so to do the eyebrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jguerin Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 How much could it cost, I don't have a clue. It is not only for esthetic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I have paid 2500 to 4000 pesos locally. I would call Dermika for an estimate. Make sure you tell them if it is your first time or, if you just need more color on existing permanent make-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1mex Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 ibarra is about right for the price. I had eyelid surgery years ago and a lot of my eye brows thinned, so I have had permanent eyebrows for years. But they do fade and touch up is needed. She will draw your eyebrows with a pen the way you want them, rounded or more arched so you can see the shape you want. Then she will tattoo the pattern she has drawn. It is important after the healing to wear sun block on your eyebrows so they will not fade as fast from the sun. They will look dark at first, but the color will soften to natural.

MtnMama Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Just be aware that sometimes they look pretty good, and sometimes, as a friend found, the eyebrows don't match and look peculiar. This was from one of the above recommended folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwynne Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I had mine done by Hilda, who is now at Chapala Medical Center. I was afraid of getting eyebrows that were black, or dark brown which would look strange with my "platinum" hair. Hilda mixed up several taupe colors and I picked the one I thought would look the best. The result was perfect. I'm ready for a touch-up now and will definitely go back to her.

MoraAzul Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Do any of the recommended places offer the feather or blade technique, where the esthetician draws individual hairs for a more natural look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortshrink Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Save your money and get it done NOB. The products they use here do not last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I had mine done NOB twice and they still faded. Be aware of black. It may eventually turn bluish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The products they use here do not last. I had my brows done about 3 1/2 years ago and they've lasted really well. Now, of course, they definitely need redoing. On the other hand, I had eyeliner done, not by the same person because she wasn't available, and I loved the results but they disappeared within weeks. So if I find someone with good recommendations Lakeside or in Guadalajara who does the feathered brows, I will get the brows and eyeliner done here again. 10 hours ago, shortshrink said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Dra. Luquin did my relatives eye liner over a year ago. Has not faded. Don't know about the feathered eyebrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Just yesterday, Dr Monica Luquin of Dermika, tattooed beautiful eyebrows for me. She was very delicate, artful, quiet, focused & respectful ~ and knows her art! She sculpted graceful, perfect brows for my petite features and consulted with me, without being rushed, as to every finest feature I wanted, before she got started. She even 'mixed colors', to blend with my coloring. I admit, the anesthetic hurt, at times, across my brows, but as soon as she saw me squirm, she paused & waited. Although they appear 'dark' today, she assured me that they will look natural within the week. And friends have either not noticed the darkness at all or, when I've brought them to their attention, have all said how perfect they look, that they 'bring out my eyes' (just what I wanted!). No after-pain, nor swelling. A perfect experience! She is a true artiste The office & clinical room are extremely clean & very well-organized. When I called back this morning to ask a question about after-care, the receptionist put Dr Monica on the phone to talk with me directly. Such reassurance! I will return & recommend this clinic without reservation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I have had Dr. Monica at Dermika do my eye brows twice in 10 years, as they do fade with time. They are perfect. Be sure to wear a good SPF sun block on your eye brows when you go out to protect them from the sun, which can cause fast fading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do microblading at New Look in San Antonio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
