Brows (Permanent Makeup)
Brow permanent makeup, also known as eyebrow tattooing or microblading (depending on the technique), is a cosmetic procedure where pigment is implanted into the skin to enhance, shape, or recreate the appearance of eyebrows. It’s a form of semi-permanent makeup that can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on the method used, skin type, and aftercare.
There are a few common techniques:
- Microblading: Hair-like strokes are manually etched into the skin for a natural look.
- Nano Brows: Hair-like strokes are lightly tattooed into the skin for a fluffy, natural look.
- Powder Brows (Ombre Brows): A soft, shaded effect resembling brow makeup.
- Combination Brows: A mix of microblading/nano and powder shading for a fuller, more defined look.
The goal is to create fuller, symmetrical brows that suit the individual’s face shape and style preferences.

FAQ
How Long Does It Take To Heal?
Healing should take 10-14 days, more or less. However, this could differ from person to person. You will expect to see the full results after a month.
Can I Still Get Powder Brows If I Already Have An Existing Eyebrow Tattoo?
This depends on the opacity of the old tattoo. If it’s very dark and solid, then we would recommend having it lightened/removed first before we can tattoo on it again.
Will There Be Swelling?
There will be some light swelling and reddening of the skin, but this is not very noticeable and will go away quickly after the procedure.
