Question 1

1. What is Nano Brows?

Accepted Answer

Nano brows are a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique that uses an ultra-fine, single needle to create hair-like strokes that mimic the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs. Unlike microblading, which uses a manual blade, nano brows are done with a digital machine, allowing for more precision and less trauma to the skin. This technique offers a softer and more precise alternative to traditional microblading, making it suitable for all skin types, including mature skin. Nano brows are ideal for those looking to enhance sparse, uneven, or overplucked eyebrows with a natural, long-lasting result.

Question 10

10. Why do I need a touch up if this is semi-permanent?

Accepted Answer

Because color is implanted in the facial area there tends to be more fluid circulation than other parts of the body. Your face sees the most wear of any piece of you—exposure to the sun, food, facial products—the list goes on and on. All of these things cause permanent color to fade, this is why you need a touch up.

Question 11

11. How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

The procedure takes roughly about 2 1/2- 3 hours, sometimes more sometimes less. Please allow a solid 3-hour window for your appointment. I likely won’t need that much time, but this isn’t something I want to rush.

Question 12

12. Do I need to take a day off work?

Accepted Answer

No. There’s no downtime associated with the treatment. Redness will disappear in a day or two. Your brows will appear darker initially, but not so dark that you will be prevented from your activities of daily living.

Question 13

13. How long does it take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Healing time varies from individual to individual. Usually, it takes about a week to ten days for the epithelial crust to form and slough off. Your skin will be considered healed after that happens. Then, the pigment takes some time to settle into the skin. A good month should pass before I consider the process complete.

Question 14

14. What’s the process like?

Accepted Answer

Eyebrow tattoo is a two-step treatment, consisting of an initial procedure and then a touch up between 4 to 6 weeks after. 
After taking your before photo, I will draw the brow design in pencil so you get an idea of shape and form. (Please note that nobody’s face is totally symmetrical and you need to be realistic with your expectations. There is no point in trying to make the eyebrows identical or match a photo of your favorite celebrities' eyebrows if your face shape looks nothing like theirs.). Once we have agreed on a final shape (ultimately it is your decision – but I will always voice my opinion on what I think suits you aesthetically), I will shape your eyebrows then we will decide on the color. Shortly after that, a topical anesthetic will be administered to ensure comfort. Once you’re numb, the pigment is deposited.
During healing, it's normal to experience some pigment loss; this is why we have the touch up in place.

Question 15

15. What can’t I do after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

You are advised to keep the skin clean and dry - that means no swimming, sweating or otherwise getting the area wet; no tanning or prolonged sun exposure; no picking, peeling, scratching or rubbing the tattoo, this may result in a loss of color and scarring. You can still wash your hair and face and once they’re healed up, you treat them as your own.

Question 16

16. How do I extend the life of the procedure?

Accepted Answer

Your beautiful eyebrows will last longer if you apply sun block often and avoid abrasive facial treatments in the brow area.

Question 17

17. I already have permanent makeup and want to change the shape. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes, changes to your old design can be made with different technique.

Question 18

18. Do you have to shave off my own eyebrows?

Accepted Answer

No. Every attempt is made to retain all natural hair and integrate it into the design of the permanent eyebrows. In some cases, where shaping of the natural brow is required, a few hairs here and there may need to be removed to create a clean and aesthetically pleasing result.

Question 19

19. Can you guarantee your work?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, I can't. How the skin will react is different for everyone and many factors are to be taken into consideration. Skin type, age, scarring, diet, stress levels, facial products used, etc. all play a key role in how the pigment will hold, which is why it is important to know that more than one touch up may be required.
I can guarantee that your face is important to me and that I will act in accordance with my experience and expertise to give you my absolute best. I can guarantee that I will strive to make you gratified and content every time. But there are no guarantees in this industry. Please think long and hard before you decide to go for it.

Question 20

20. What if I don’t like it?

Accepted Answer

Although Microblading or Gradient Eyebrow Tattoo is considered to be semi-permanent, the procedure does allow flexibility for color or shape change to some extent. However, I will work closely with you to ensure that you are satisfied with the proposed technique. I will allow you to have as much control over the procedure as possible, so there’s very little room for error. If you do not like the decision you made, the Touch Up can be cancelled and the pigmented area naturally fades away over time. If you aren’t 100% sure you would benefit from this procedure, please opt for a more temporary option.
