Women’s Eyebrow Restoration

The eyebrow is one of the most defining and expressive facial features we have to frame our face. A well shaped brow can lift the eye and give back an element of youth that is lost with age. Over time brows can start to thin or lose shape. Over tweezing, waxing, and or threading can be a culprit to thinning or permanent loss of brow hair. Diminishing brows can be related to genetics, hormonal changes, skin conditions, medical treatment, medications, overactive immune system, nutritional deficiencies, physical trauma or emotional stress.
Not everyone is blessed with perfect eyebrows, and striving to create your ideal look every day can be time consuming and tedious. If you’ve had enough with worrying about your brows being ruined by sweaty workouts or rainy days, eyebrow cosmetic restoration may be the perfect solution for you. Eyebrow cosmetic tattooing is the most effective solution for achieving defined and or sculpted brows instantly day-in and day-out.
Eyebrow cosmetic hair stroke simulation is a non surgical way to instantly restore the appearance of missing hair. Offering a semi permanent solution to restore brows one hair at a time and look completely natural.
HAIR STROKE BROWS
This technique simulates natural brow hair and creates perfect brows using semi-permanent cosmetic pigment. Our artist has devised a specialized technique over the last decade that creates a 3D feather like hair stroke to blend with natural brow hairs. We use state of the art nano needle technology that uses a “nano” ultra fine needle to etch each individual hair one by one. This allows the artist to be an artist, and use different diameter and length strokes to blend in with texture of your natural brow, and or give back fill shade or dimension. This method gives the artist the ability to build any style brow that best contours your features. The treatment is tailored to according to you aesthetic preferences, delivering satisfying, beautiful results that look completely natural.
NEW NANO BROW TECHNOLOGY
Numerous techniques for eyebrow restoration have emerged over the past few years, and as of 2020 the Nano Brow has become one of the most popular techniques for cosmetic hair simulation. This is why we prefer the “Nano Brow Technique” also known as the “Nano Stroke Brow, Nano Needling, and Nano Blading.” Hair stroke simulation is the most popular and natural solution for restoring missing brow hair, and can be done using different modalities such as microblading and Nano methods.
Unlike microblading which uses a blade configuration to cut pigment into the skin, the Nano-needle is tapered to the width of hair, and is guided by calibrated digital device that gives controlled precise hair strokes every time. In comparison to microblading, this modality is safer because there is less risk for manual error so there is less trauma to the skin. That is why it is considered the best and safest method for hair simulation for all skin types and degrees of hair loss.
Check out this video illustrating our gentle “NANO BROW” needle technique.
We use FDA approved skin-safe pigments and a computerized technology to create consistent individual hair strokes. This technique requires a high degree of artistic skill and many years of experience to mimic the patterns and the appearance of natural brow hair. The eyebrows are gradually and carefully filled-in with delicate hair simulation until the client’s desired thickness and shape have been achieved. The procedure involves a balance of art, science, and precision to deliver custom results.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR NANO HAIR STROKE BROW RESTORATION?

This minimally-invasive procedure makes majority of our clients candidates for the treatment, regardless of age, gender, or skin type.

Nano Stroke Brow is an ideal cosmetic solution for individuals with the following concerns:

- Restoring full or partial hair loss due to forms of alopecia or other medical conditions or medications.
- Thickening naturally thin or sparse brows.
- Enhancing arch or shape
- Shaping and filling medium to full brows
- Enhancing delicate thin brows
- Restore missing tails or arches
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICROBLADING AND NANO STROKE BROWS
Both modalities achieve a semi-permanent natural hair stroke effect that is beautiful, the main difference is the application method used to deposit pigment.
The biggest difference and main reason why many clients go for nano method over microblading is the fact that nanoneedles cause significantly less trauma to the skin than the microblading tool.
Microblading is a hand technique where the artist manually deposits pigment into the skin by dipping a blade (comprised of 10-14 fine needles), and then dragging or slicing into the skin to give the hair stroke effect. There is a much higher injury risk with manual insertion methods. If the strokes are too shallow they will not retain pigment for more than a few months, and if it is too deep it can cause scar tissue or damage to the brow hair follicle. Semi-permanent cosmetics requires touch ups and repetition of this modality over time can cause scar tissue.
Whereas the flexibility and thinness of the nanoneedle prevent the pigment from going too deep into the skin, which sometimes happens with the rigid microblading tool and creates an unattractive shadow. As the nanoneedle is extremely thin, the cuts are very narrow. Thus, there is less possibility of scabbing, infection, inflammation, and scarring is minimal.
This video featured on YouTube explains the difference, and the truth about Microblading.
CONSULTATION & PROCEDURE
At Look Natural Micropigmentation Clinic our provider will help you design perfect eyebrows using a highly-advanced and customized eyebrow techniques. There is no “one technique” that is ideal for everyone, so our practitioner will help guide you based on your bone structure, skin type, and overall objectives that best contour your features. We will work with you to create your design and pallet during your consultation that matches your vision and goals. During the consultation we determine if you are considered a light, medium or full fill – based on your desired style and degree of hair loss.
During your consultation our practitioner will carefully assess your medical history and goals to determine if brow micropigmentation is the right option for you.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING MY TREATMENT?
Etching each hair stroke one by one is a meticulous art and takes time. We schedule 1 hour and 30 minutes with all new clients. The first 3o minutes is dedicated to doing an in-depth consultation to measure, balance, and create a cosmetic preview design to establish your new shape. During the consultation our artist will answer all your questions, and hand hold you through the entire process. Our artist understands the importance of trust, and that is why we work conservative on every new client on their initial visit, so they can see first hand how the process works, fades, and heals. It is more important to us that you understand and feel confident in not only the work, but the entire process.
DOES IT HURT?
We use a topical numbing agent to minimize any discomfort and dedicate an hour to designing your new artistry. Any discomfort associated with the procedure is considered minimal and can be easily managed with our topical anesthetics. We use topical numbing agents before and during the procedure to help keep you comfortable.
Do Nano Eyebrows Hurt More Than Microblading?
No, on the contrary. When it comes to pain involved with nanoblading vs microblading pain, the degree of discomfort is individual and depends on the individual.
But generally speaking, nano brows hurt less than microblading, as the nanoneedle is much thinner. On the other hand, nanoneedling sessions last longer, since each stroke is reinforced individually.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
While results are immediate following your initial appointment. We recommend coming back for a second appointment (Perfection Session) to allow us to assess how you healed and retained the pigment. Your perfection session is usually 6-8 weeks out from your initial appointment, however you have a 90 day window to book your quick touch up. This allows the artist to make small refinements to the artistry or to replace any missing hair strokes that were lost during the healing process. Once the touch- up is completed your brows will be maintenance free, with results lasting generally between 12-18 months depending on the individual.
All micropigmentation procedures are done with a semi-permanent pigment that is designed to fade, so over time you will notice that you may need a touch up to enhance the artistry again. This (Booster) touch up is usually done annually or bi annually to keep the artistry vibrant. Once you are an existing client with Look Natural you will be considered a Booster client, and will not ever have to pay the initial new client rate for restoration.
IS THERE DOWNTIME AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
Micro-stroke eyebrow micropigmentation does not require any downtime. Clients are free to resume their normal activities, however there will be some simple aftercare guidelines to follow post procedure to ensure optimal pigment retention. Please refer to Policies & Care Instructions for all the prep and post care recommendations. We provide a comprehensive list of instructions to help you prep and heal to maintain the natural beauty of the artistry.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
Immediately following the procedure the color may appear more vivid, (as if you are wearing make up), for about 3 days. The technique is gentle but can cause the skin to get a little pink or red around treatment area for a couple hours, but usually subsides very quickly as the skin calms. Unlike other forms of brow micropigmentation, our micro stroke application does not create bruising or scabbing during the healing process. Once the eyebrows have healed and final results are visible you can enjoy your new maintenance free brows.

BROW PREP & POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARATION
- Avoid Caffeine, alcohol, Aspirin, or Ibuprofen 24 hours before your appointment.
- Avoid doing Botox injections 2 weeks prior to your appointment
- Discontinue using Vitamin E, Fish oil, and any other blood thinning products a week before your appointment.
- Discontinue using Vitamin A or Retinol products at least weeks prior to your brow appointment.
- Inform your technician of any allergies, medical conditions, and medications prior to your appointment
POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Care & Cleaning – Instructions for the first 5 days after your procedure: Clean your brows gently with an unscented baby wipe each time before applying the post care ointment. (If the wipe is overly moist, dab the excess moisture off on a paper towel). Start cleaning the brows from the outside of the brow and gently massage toward the nose, forward and then back, without rubbing hard or putting pressure on the new tattoo. Your goal is to loosen the excess ointment and remove any dead skin buildup.
Blot the brows dry with a tissue after cleaning – and then allow them to air dry completely before applying ointment. *** Never apply ointment to moist or wet skin as this can cause the hair strokes to merge during the healing process. Apply ointment 3 times a day as a minimum unless directed by your technician . This would be ( morning , afternoon and before bedtime) to keep skin moist while the brows are healing. This prevents the skin from drying out so the pigment does not exfoliate. Sleep on a clean pillowcase during the five day healing process.
2. Ointment Application : Apply ointment 3 times a day for 5 consecutive days.
3. Showers: You will avoid getting the brow tattoo wet for 7 consecutive days after your procedure.
WHAT YOU MAY OBSERVE AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Do not be alarmed if your brows appear darker, and or fuller after your appointment – this is normal. Skin responses vary but your skin will settle down quickly. The color will lighten over the next 3-5 days during the healing process.
- The skin around the brows could turn slightly pink and look irritated after having this intradermal procedure. This is a normal skin response that usually subsides within the hour, but for some can last up to 24 hours after application of pigment.
- If you have sensitive skin you may observe slight swelling around the artistry, which can cause temporary visual asymmetry after procedure until the skin calms down. Extreme sensitivity cases can take up to 24 hours to resolve.
- The skin may shed some during the healing process, which can result in fading or pigment loss. Thus, you may see some pigment or skin debris on your cotton swab while applying ointment. Your brows may flake or scab a little during healing – this is normal. Do not pick at your brows, let them naturally exfoliate.
- Your brows will appear several shades lighter after healing. Pigment fading and or loss is normal – especially after your initial session. The top layer of the skin is fresh and is muting the pigment. Your brows are still healing up to 30 days after your appointment – even though the exfoliating has stopped. It is common that the color will start to return during this time, and to seem slightly sparse in spots, and not dark enough. This is the time where you will notice that you will need your perfection session, or additional touch ups to refine and reinforce the artistry and color. Your “perfection session” is your touch up to tweak shape and color.
Long Term After Care
For best results and color retention – Use Sunscreen (SPF 30). Extreme sun exposure will cause premature fading. You can use facial cleansers and moisturizers over the brow artistry, just stay away from products that cause skin exfoliation, such as glycolic and other peeling chemicals, Retin-A, and laser treatments.
Inform your technician or physician of your semi-permanent brows if you are having a laser procedure or MRI or if you are giving blood.
