Chemical Burns and Eyebrow Tinting: An Unusual Case

The document presents a case of a 50-year-old woman who suffered chemical burns to her eyebrows after undergoing professional eyebrow tinting. Despite treatment with various medications, her condition worsened until she was treated at the authors' facility. After 49 days, her eyebrows completely healed without any alopecia. The study highlights that burns from cosmetic procedures are most commonly associated with hair lightening treatments, but eyebrow tinting, which often uses unregulated dyes containing para-phenylenediamine (PPD), can also cause chemical burns. The authors conclude that eyebrow tinting is not without risks and that increased awareness of its potential complications is necessary due to the growing popularity of the procedure and the availability of unregulated products.
