Before Your Nano Brow Appointment

I want your results to heal beautifully and last as long as possible—so preparation matters. Please read through everything below carefully before your appointment.

Botox, Filler + Skin Treatments

  • Please avoid Botox or filler for at least 2 weeks before your appointment

  • Wait at least 1 week after your brow session before receiving Botox or filler

This helps ensure your facial muscles and skin are stable, so your brow shape heals evenly and predictably.

Also avoid:

  • Chemical peels

  • Laser treatments

  • Microneedling

  • Retinol or active skincare near the brow area

for at least 1–2 weeks before your appointment

Sun Exposure + Vacations

If you have a vacation planned with significant sun exposure (beach, pool, tropical trips), please schedule your appointment accordingly.

Fresh nano brows are not compatible with sun exposure during the healing phase.

  • Avoid direct sun, tanning, and sweating for 7–10 days after your appointment

  • Prolonged sun exposure too soon can affect pigment retention and healing

If you have a trip coming up, it’s best to book your appointment after you return.

Skin Prep (Day Of)

  • Come with clean skin around the brow area

  • No makeup on the brows is preferred

However—life happens. If you’re coming from work or errands, don’t stress.
You can absolutely arrive with makeup on, and I will thoroughly cleanse the skin before we begin.

AFTERCARE

Day 1 (Immediately After Your Appointment)

  • Leave your brows completely alone

  • If you notice any lymph fluid (clear/yellowish), gently blot with a clean tissue

  • Do not wash, touch, or apply anything unless instructed

  • If your skin is tender or have any redness feel free to use an ice compress, being careful not to get water on them

This allows the skin to begin healing undisturbed.

Days 2–14

Keep your routine simple and consistent:

1. Cleanse

  • Gently wash your brows using the cleanser provided

  • Use clean hands and a light touch

  • Pat dry with a clean towel or tissue (do not rub)

2. Moisturize

  • Using a clean finger, apply a small amount of the healing lotion provided

  • Apply a very thin layer—just enough to lightly hydrate the skin

Less is more. Over-applying can affect how the pigment heals.

Your Regular Skincare Routine

  • You can continue your normal face routine

  • Avoid applying any products directly on your brows (besides the products provided)

When washing your face:

  • Cleanse your face as usual, avoiding the brow area

  • Then do a separate, gentle cleanse on your brows using the cleanser provided

During the Healing Process

  • You may experience dryness, flaking, or light scabbing

  • Some areas may appear patchy or lighter than others

  • It can feel like pigment didn’t fully “stick” in certain spots

This is completely normal.

Not all pigment retains evenly during the first session, and your skin is actively healing and regenerating.

Important Reminders

  • Do not pick, scratch, or peel

  • Avoid sweating, swimming, saunas, and sun exposure

  • Avoid makeup directly on the brows

  • Avoid active skincare (retinol, acids) near the area

Let your skin heal naturally.

Touch-Ups + Booking

  • If a touch-up is needed, you must allow your brows to fully heal for 6 weeks before your appointment

  • Please wait at least 2 weeks before booking your initial touch-up to ensure proper timing and availability

Some clients love their results after the first session and may not need a touch-up at all

Others may benefit from a perfecting session to:

  • Fill in lighter areas

  • Add density

  • Refine the final shape

Final Results

Your brows will continue to soften and settle over the next few weeks, healing into a more natural, blended result.Healing is a process—and understanding it will help you feel calm and confident every step of the way.

Immediately After

  • Brows will appear more defined, slightly darker, and crisp

  • This is not your final result

Days 3–7

  • Brows may feel dry, tight, or lightly flaky

  • You might notice some patchiness or unevenness

This is completely normal.

Days 7–14

  • Color may appear lighter, softer, or even faded in certain areas

  • You may feel like pigment has “disappeared” or didn’t stick in some spots

This is part of the natural healing cycle.

Weeks 3–6

  • The pigment begins to settle back into the skin

  • Color softens into a more natural, lived-in result

About Pigment Retention + Touch-Ups

It’s important to understand:

  • Not all pigment will fully retain after the first session

  • It is completely normal to have lighter areas, gaps, or spots where pigment didn’t stick evenly

Your skin, lifestyle, and healing process all play a role.

This is why a perfecting touch-up is often recommended to:

  • Reinforce shape

  • Fill in any areas of low retention

  • Refine the final result

Think of the first session as the foundation, and the touch-up as the refinement.
