New 3-D Treatment Builds Eyebrows

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then the eyebrow is its frame and many women want that view.

"A fuller eyebrow makes you look younger," said Sunita Muppagovini, the owner of The Threading Studio in Southlake and Pouf Blowout and Threading Studio in Dallas.

Muppagovini is an expert in eyebrows. For years, she's twisted and rolled thread to take out unwanted hairs on eyebrows, upper lips, chins, even entire faces.

Now, she's helping women get eyebrows where there is no hair. She's using a new 3-D sculpting gel or textured paint that lets her build an eyebrow.

"This is a 3D sculpting gel that we create an eyebrow. It's a very thin pen, so I dip it in the gel and I create hair like strokes," she said as she demonstrates. "Then I keep building on it and this is how it looks."

Muuppagovini got trained in 3-D brow building last month and believes she's one of the first in Dallas to use it.

She said so far she's sculpted brows on clients who've lost their hair to cancer treatments or to the autoimmune disease alopecia.  It takes about 30 minutes per eye to create a waterproof, smudge-proof eyebrow.

"People can come in with no eyebrows and I can create a shape, "Muppagovini said.

Others simply want the convenience that comes from one less step in the beauty regimen.

"Just like to get up and go, wash my face and go, and when your eyebrows are done, you can do that," explained Jeannie, the client in the chair when NBC 5 stopped by.

In addition to sculpting an eyebrow, Muppagovini said she can also add extensions if hair is missing. The 3-D brow costs between $75 to $150, depending on what's needed, and lasts two to three weeks.
