/NANO/brows : A semi permanent form of cosmetic tattooing where ink is deposited by means of a rotary machine.
This technique can be used to recreate the entire brow for those with sparse to no brows, or to enhance or modify already natural brows. Longevity varies depending on factors like skin type, life style, and products used.
Lasting from 1-3 years, gives the illusion of thicker, natural brows, like you have more hair than you do. It can be as subtle or dramatic as you'd like.

Tell me more..
NANO brows vs. Microblading Microblading is the most common form of eyebrow tattooing where a manual blade deposits ink into the skin with small incisions. Nano brows, however, uses a rotary machine to insert pigment allowing for delicate strokes resulting in a more hyper realistic looking brow. This method is also more suitable for aging skin, oily skin or those who are more sensitive.
What does the process look like? Based on our consultation conversation, we'll draw and re draw your brows until it's something you're happy with. Basically, you'll okay the design before it's tattooed. Your brows will require special care for 2 weeks following your procedure as it heals. We'll go into detail about the do's and don'ts and what the healing process looks like.
Is this the same thing as a tattoo? Yes, but no. Kind of. Permanent Make Up (PMU) uses a specialised ink for cosmetic tattooing, different than regular tattoo inks. PMU also doesn't go as deep into the skin, resulting in something that is semi permanent.
Who is (and isn't) a good candidate? Several factors influence the results and longevity of Nano brows - sun exposure, skin type, products used, medications, etc.
How long does it last? Under ideal conditions and proper care, results can last up to 3 years. Annual touch ups are recommended to maintain results.
Which pigments do you use? Only the highest of quality - Permablend brand pigments.
Is it safe? If done properly, Nano brows are considered to be quite safe. As with any procedure that punctures the skin there is the inherent risk of infection, scarring or an allergic reaction. Even with low risk, I've implemented practices with your safety at the forefront to minimize such risks.
