During the healing process, the area is kept moist by applying a paper thin layer of aftercare balm to the treated area several times a day. This helps to prevent scabbing and promote faster healing. The idea is that by keeping the area moisturized, it will help the skin heal faster, and the color will appear softer and more natural.
Avoid the following for the next 14 days:
- Do not get your brows wet for the first three days after the procedure. This includes showering, sweating, swimming, and avoiding contact with water.
- Do not pick, scratch, or rub the treated area as this can cause pigment loss or scarring.
- Starting on day one apply a thin layer of aftercare balm on the treated area one hour after leaving the clinic. Apply as needed (2-5x a day) for 7-10 days to promote healing and prevent scabbing. Always look at the brows BEFORE apply balm to determine if balm is required at that time.
- Keep the area clean, avoid touching the area and do not use any creams or lotions that contain fragrances, alcohol or peroxide.
- Be aware that the color may appear darker and bolder in the first few days, but will soften and lighten during the healing process.
Avoid the following for the next 14 days:
- Sauna, steam rooms, swimming pools and hot tubs.
- No makeup on the brow area.
- Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning.
- Refrain from using any exfoliating products, such as scrubs, acids and retinols.
- Avoid botox in the forehead area.
- Do not lay on your face.
- Avoid intense workouts
- It's important to protect the treated area from sun exposure, as sun exposure can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Applying daily SPF to the brows will help the longevity of the brow.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your skin is in the best condition possible for your NanoBrow appointment, which can result in a more successful and longer-lasting outcome.

We recommend a conservative approach to shaping and coloring your eyebrows during your first NanoBrow appointment. This approach ensures that the final result is natural-looking and complements your unique features.
After your first appointment, you'll be scheduled for a follow-up appointment in 5 weeks. This follow-up appointment is to determine if a touchup is needed, to perfect any areas in the brow and/or to adjust shape, saturation, color.
To maintain the shape and color of your tattooed eyebrows, we recommend 18-24month touch-ups. The lifespan of a NanoBrow tattoo is typically around one year, while Combo Brows can last up to two years. However, the longevity of the tattoo can depend on various factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle. For example, oily skin with larger pores may result in the tattoo lasting around one year, while dry skin with little to no pores may result in the tattoo lasting up to two years.

A consultation is imperative before booking a brow service appointment online. The tattoo must be VERY faded in order to work over or corrected. At least 60-70% faded. Working over other artists' work is often more work than working on a blank canvas and for that reason we DO NOT touchup other artist’s work for touchup pricing. **Extra fees will apply if color correction is needed.
