What is the difference between
Nano Brows and Powder Brows?
Semi-permanent eyebrow makeup enhances the shape and fullness of your brows using cosmetic tattooing techniques that gradually fade over time.
Nano Brows use ultra-fine hair-like strokes to create a natural, realistic look. They're ideal for filling sparse areas and mimicking real eyebrow hairs.
Powder Brows use soft shading to create a fuller, makeup-like appearance, similar to brow pencil or powder. They provide more definition and density.
Who Are the Ideal Candidates?
Nano Brows are ideal for clients who want the most natural-looking enhancement. This technique is especially well-suited for those with sparse, thin, or uneven brows, as it creates realistic hair-like strokes that blend seamlessly with existing brow hair.
Powder Brows are a great option for clients who prefer a fuller, more defined look similar to the effect of brow makeup. They are particularly well-suited for oily or mature skin types and for anyone looking to add density, shape, and soft shading to their brows.
Who is Not Suitable for the Procedure?
Semi-permanent makeup is not recommended for individuals with allergies to lidocaine or epinephrine. Clients who have received Botox within the past two weeks, are pregnant, or are currently breastfeeding should also postpone treatment.
If you are prone to keloid scarring, a test patch is required 5–7 days before your scheduled appointment.
Semi-permanent makeup cannot be performed over moles, birthmarks, sunburned skin, or unhealed scars.
Physician approval may be required before treatment for individuals with circulation disorders, diabetes, thyroid conditions, cancer, or those currently undergoing chemotherapy.
If you have any medical conditions or concerns, please contact us before scheduling so we can determine whether semi-permanent makeup is appropriate for you.
How Long Does it Take?
Please plan for approximately three hours for your initial semi-permanent makeup appointment. This time includes a thorough consultation, topical numbing, pigment selection, and detailed mapping and design of your brows. Brow shape is one of the most important parts of the process, and we take the time necessary to ensure you are comfortable and confident with the design before beginning the procedure.
A perfecting session is required 4–6 weeks after your initial appointment. During this visit, we assess the healed results, make any necessary adjustments, reinforce pigment retention, and refine any areas that may have healed lighter than expected. This appointment typically takes 1.5–2 hours to complete.
What Are the Results Like?
Results are visible immediately following your appointment; however, your brows will continue to heal and settle over the next 4–6 weeks. During the healing process, the color may appear darker at first, then soften and lighten as the skin recovers.
Longevity varies from person to person and depends on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare products, and adherence to aftercare instructions. Most clients can expect their semi-permanent makeup to last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
To keep your brows looking fresh and defined, most clients choose to schedule a color refresh every 12–18 months
Preparation before procedure
Do not wax or tint eyebrows at least three days before procedure. Do not perform electrolysis for one week before procedure. In order to avoid excess bleeding do not drink alcohol 24-48 hours before procedure. Also do not take Fish Oil, Vitamin E, Aspirin, or Ibuprofen three days before procedure as they are natural blood thinners. Tylenol is recommended for pain relief.
Aftercare
After 24 hours, the eyebrow area should be cleaned twice a day with a gentle non-exfoliating soap, moving in the direction of hair growth. Then apply a thin layer of aftercare serum that will be provided. Fitness and sweating should be avoided for five days. Avoid pools and saunas for a week afterwards. Avoid rubbing brow area as it can remove pigment. This includes trying to avoid excessive contact with pillow while sleeping.
