The healing process is very similar to a body tattoo. The tattooed area will begin to oxidize and gradually get darker. The darkest will be the following day. Most redness will subside in about 3 days. By day 5 to day 10 brows will begin to scab and flake. Healing time for everyone is different, some people heal in 7 days while others take the full 14 days.

We begin with a light first pass before applying numbing, then use both primary and secondary numbing throughout the appointment to keep you comfortable.
Most clients describe the sensation as minimal — a soft scratching or gentle pressure — and are surprised by how easy the experience feels.
-
Healed results will vary by each individual client. This is a TWO-STEP process: initial session + perfecting session (initial touchup). Not everyone will need the touchup, but many do. Correction cases may need a third session to achieve the desired look.
-
You’ll notice your brows gradually softening and losing definition as the pigment fades. When the shape appears less crisp or the colour looks lighter, grey, or ashy, it’s time for a refresh.
-
We use a precise brow mapping technique tailored to your eye shape, bone structure, and personal style. Once the shape is outlined, we refine it together and only proceed once you’re fully confident.

Nano brows are a form of cosmetic tattooing done with an ultra-fine machine needle to create soft, hair-like strokes. This technique is gentle on the skin and offers a more refined, longer-lasting result.
Microblading, on the other hand, uses a manual blade to create cuts in the skin that mimic hair strokes. While it can look natural, it tends to fade less evenly over time and may not be suitable for all skin types—especially oily or sensitive skin.
Why choose Nano Brows?
They heal more smoothly, last longer, and are ideal for most skin types, giving a softer, more natural finish. -
