Say Goodbye to Microblading – Upgrade to Nano Brows for Superior Results
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 or powder brow journey, it’s essential to understand the steps involved. When booking your consultation, make sure to write in the notes that it is for PMU, in which case I will send you my personalized Client Guild for preparation to your procedure.
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.
What will be covered during your free consultation:
- 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.

The journey to beautifully defined brows begins with the healing process after a cosmetic nano brows procedure. This meticulous technique enhances your natural beauty, but proper aftercare is essential for optimal results.
Key Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid touching your brows to minimize infection risk.
- No water contact for the first seven days.
- Wash your face carefully, rinsing below the eyes.
- Use witch hazel wipes for your forehead.
- Avoid direct sunlight for the first two weeks.
- Wear a baseball cap if going outside
- Brows will over-darken initially, then over-lighten as skin flakes off
- By day 28, expect your brows to even out to their true color.
Healing Phases:
- No touching your brows to avoid infection.
- Do not scratch the area.
- Brows will appear at their darkest.
- If excessively dry, apply a small amount of grapeseed oil with a Q-tip.
- Continue to keep brows out of the sun.
- You may wash your face as usual.
- Your brows will settle into their true color.
By following these simple guidelines, you can enhance the longevity of your nano brows and ensure stunning results for months to come. Prioritize care and protection during this critical healing period for the best outcome!
Ombre Brows:
Ombre brows are created using micro dots that outline and fill in the eyebrow shape. This technique is particularly popular among individuals with oily skin, as it heals well on this skin type. However, this was before the advent of Nano Brows.
Nano Brows:
Nano Brows offer enhanced longevity and are ideal for oily skin, with the added benefit of not causing scarring. This innovative technique uses ultra-fine needles to create realistic, hair-like strokes, resulting in a photorealistic brow that lasts longer and requires less maintenance. Nano Brows are especially effective for those who already have well-defined eyebrows but wish to add density or reshape them.
Combo Brows:
Combo Brows combine both Nano and Ombre techniques. This is the ideal option for individuals who may have little to no eyebrow hair and need a more defined shape. It’s a great choice for creating a fuller, more accentuated brow area.
Laser Removal (if applicable):
Laser removal may be necessary if you have previous eyebrow tattoos that are too dark, poorly shaped, or no longer suit your desired look. In cases where specific areas of the eyebrow are not properly mapped to your face, these areas must be removed before applying new eyebrow tattoos.
Correction Work:
Correction work involves two full sessions (not just a touch-up) to achieve your desired results. This may be required if you have scarring from previous eyebrow work, discoloration due to low-quality inks, or a shape that is significantly off from your desired brow. Multiple sessions may be necessary to apply the appropriate inks and reshape the brows to correct old work and restore the desired color and form.
Pricing:
- Ombre: $600
- Nano Brows: $800
- Combo: $800
- Correction: $1000
- Laser: $100
1st Session
2nd Session
Client came in with scaring and leftover color from previous microblading procedure. Ink was bright red and did not match the clients complexion or hair color. We had to do some laser to start, and the objective for the first session was to balance out the red and try to make it more neutral. When the client came back for the second session, there were gaps from the scar tissue, as is normal. So for the touchup we applied more pigment. The change this round is that with the improved confidence to choosing the right colors for her complexion and hair color, we added a little more warmth to the pigment as to match the current hair color, but planning for future changes.
Before
Mapping
After
Client came in with scaring and leftover color from previous microblading procedure. More importantly, the shape was in the wrong spot becasue the previous PMU artist used pre-designed cutouts and placed them improperly, mostly too low on the face and thick tails that came below the front of the eyebrows. These problems can dramatically change the shape of the face. We had to start with laser so we could use mapping techniques to adequately shape the new brows. For the first session we focused on color correction only. Balancing the dark areas and red areas without adding any contrast. For the second session, we did laser again, and finished with the final color and shape.
The Benefits of Nano Brows: Long-Lasting, Precise, and Natural
How does Nano Brows Differ from Microblading?
Is it still 2010? Let’s face it — Microblading is a thing of the past. While Microblading was once the eyebrow trend everyone couldn’t stop talking about, Nano Brows are now stealing the spotlight for good reason.
So, why are Nano Brows the clear winner? For starters, they’re way more durable — say goodbye to fading and hello to brows that last. Plus, Nano Brows work wonders on all skin types, whether you’re oily, dry, or somewhere in between. Unlike Microblading that only works on people with dry skin. Oh, and did we mention Nano Brows carry a much lower risk of scarring, especially over time? That’s right — no more worrying about your brows becoming a patchy, scarred mess.
Don’t get stuck in the past with outdated techniques — get with the times and upgrade to Nano Brows for a more natural, long-lasting, and totally fabulous look!
Professional, focused, talented, and truly makes great work.
