Nano Brows

What to Expect

Cosmetic nano brows are an innovative form of semi-permanent makeup that differs significantly from traditional tattoos. Utilizing specialized pigments designed to seamlessly blend with your skin tone, nano brows provide a natural look that enhances your facial features. These pigments are formulated to break down more easily over time, ensuring your brows maintain a natural looking appearance.

The technique involves creating photorealistic hair-like strokes, adding depth and contrast that beautifully frame your face. Given the importance of your facial aesthetics, the process requires careful consideration and artistry.

To prepare for your nano brow journey, it’s essential to understand the steps involved. If you’re ready to enhance your look with this cutting-edge cosmetic procedure, book your appointment today! We’ll discuss all the details and ensure you feel confident and informed throughout the process. Experience the transformative power of nano brows for a stunning, natural result!

A consultation is a crucial step that should take place two weeks prior to your cosmetic tattoo appointment. This session typically lasts between 30 minutes to one hour, depending on your questions and medical history. During the consultation, we will cover the following topics:

  • Your aesthetic preferences for eyebrow shape and style
  • A profile photograph for preliminary mapping
  • Selection of the appropriate pigment based on your skin tone
  • Review of your medical history
  • Completion of consent forms
  • A patch test to check for potential pigment allergies before the procedure
  • Discussion of any action items for the following two weeks to prepare for your tattoo appointment

This thorough discussion ensures that you are well-prepared for your appointment.

The cosmetic tattoo appointment typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. It’s important to arrive relaxed, as there is no rush during this process. During the appointment, we will complete the following steps:

  • Mapping your eyebrows to align with your unique facial features and aesthetic desires
  • Applying pigment in 3-4 passes on each eyebrow, allowing for a slow buildup that ensures evenness, delicacy, and beauty
  • Administering numbing agents based on skin sensitivities, either before or during the procedure
  • Documenting the process with photographs
  • Engaging in a detailed discussion of aftercare and the healing process

This structured approach helps ensure a successful and satisfying outcome for your cosmetic tattoo.

The proper healing time for your skin following the cosmetic tattoo is approximately 6 weeks. This allows you to see how the skin and pigment settle together. Factors such as skin type, scar tissue, and certain medications can influence the healing process. After the initial healing period, a second session may be necessary if you experience any of the following conditions:

  • Overall lightness of the eyebrows
  • Patchy areas where pigment hasn’t taken
  • Discoloration in certain spots, appearing grey or red compared to the rest of the nano brows
  • Any issues with color matching to the hair and skin
  • General dissatisfaction for any reason

Our goal is for you to absolutely love your new look. If you choose to proceed with a touch-up, please wait at least one full year before scheduling another tattoo appointment to avoid potential scar tissue from overworking the area.

It’s completely natural to have medical conditions, and there’s no reason to feel ashamed or fearful about them. Discussing your health is essential to ensure that your expectations are realistic and that your safety is our top priority. Some conditions may pose risks to your health if you proceed with cosmetic tattooing, while others might involve medications that could affect the healing process or the pigmentation. We will address all of this during your consultation to determine if cosmetic tattooing is a suitable option for you. Your well-being is our foremost concern, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
