It is fortunate that evolution has helped us to lose facial hair, but are eyebrows simply an evolutionary vestige, or do they have some additional function?

Eyebrows have many functions, such as protecting our eyes from rain, sweat and other external factors.

Eyebrows are also related to the general beautification of the face. Initially they function as a line of contrast: for example, in Neanderthals the arch that supports the eyebrow was much more prominent and with a lot of hair, this made it easier for expressions of hostility or aggression to be perceived from afar, helping survival and reproduction.

They also contribute to sexual dimorphism, that is, the differentiation between men and women, since men’s eyebrows are very different from women’s, and let’s not lose sight of the fact that they play a very important role in facial recognition.

The importance of eyebrows in beauty was born in the 18th century, eyebrows play such an important role that there is a huge industry focused on them.

The methods to improve and rejuvenate the eyebrows and the look have evolved: from the use of tweezers to micropigmentation and facial hair implants. These methods seek to thin, define and modify the components of our eyebrows, even makeup artists modify their color and accentuate the tone to give it more drama.

Eyebrows help us accentuate the eyes, shape the face and play an important role in social and sexual communication. They are the least known anti-aging secret, enhancing the face and making the eyes appear larger and more youthful while preserving those prized neoteny features.

Eyebrows define facial attractiveness, frame the eyes and beautify the look. On the other hand, incorrect shaping can make a person look old, tired, or angry. The correct eyebrow shape and position is achieved by examining the patient’s face in detail and creating harmony with the rest of the facial structures.

There is no such thing as a perfectly symmetrical face, but most of us aspire to have one, and eyebrows have the power to completely change the appearance of the face by correcting minor flaws. For example, a flat brow tends to shorten the shape of the face, so women with longer faces may choose a flat brow shape to create the illusion of a shorter, more balanced face.

There are many treatments to get the most beauty potential out of the eyebrows:

* They can be modified and rejuvenated with the application of botulinum toxin.

* They can be made more pronounced and higher with hyaluronic acid.

* Ultrasound and radiofrequency are great options for brow lifts.

These treatments are good options since they do not interfere with the activity of facial expression and beautify your look giving it that natural touch of rejuvenation.
