Client Suitability
Beyond a safe studio space, our professionally trained and certified PermanentBeauty Specialist’s will work with you to ensure that the Nano Brow Tattooing Procedure is right for you. This includes identification of allergies, previous medical history, current health, and recent procedures that could impact your health and safety and/or the healed results of your Nano Brow Tattoo.
For example, we do not recommend Nano Brow Tattooing for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Due to the hormones being secreted during this time, a local anesthetic cannot be applied safely, healed results would show poor pigment retention, and the eyebrows would fade faster. We recommend booking an appointment after breastfeeding has concluded.
In the case of a client who is concerned about an allergic reaction, we recommend that a Patch Test be completed prior to the actual Nano Brow Tattooing Procedure. During the Pre-Procedure Consultation we will thoroughly investigate all aspects related to your health and safety and make recommendations on an individual basis.
We welcome you to book a Pre-Procedure Consultation with us free of charge.

Pre 3D Nano Brow Tattooing Considerations
Before your 3D Nano Brow Tattooing procedure, it is important to take the following information into consideration:
- You must be over the legal age to provide consent (18 years old in Canada).

We recommend that our clients refrain from Botox and Invasive Facials for one month before and after they come in for their procedure.
For 14 days prior to your appointment please avoid the following:
- Facials
- Tanning
- Skin peels
- Eyebrow hair removal
Post 3D Nano Brow Tattooing Procedure
It is important to care for your eyebrow tattoo after your appointment in order to ensure the best retention and prevent infection.
| Duration Of Healing | Stage Of Healing |
|---|---|
|
2 Hours |
Any redness or irritation will decrease. |
|
Day 1 – 3 |
Avoid sweating and all water contact on new brows. |
|
Day 1 – 5 |
Color may appear very light at 5 days as your skin is resurfacing. The color will reappear. |
|
Day 4 – 10 |
If you are not allergic, apply the Vitamin A & D ointment provided to you with a Q-Tip every couple of hours. Aveeno® Unscented may be used as an alternative. |
|
Day 10 |
These are NOT the true results of the eyebrow tattooing, as the pigment has not yet peeled completely. They will look DARK and INTENSE. As the skin beneath continues to heal and starts flaking or peeling, the color will fade considerably. |
|
Day 14 |
Eyebrows are nearly fully healed and on Day 15 regular activities can be resumed (unrestricted). |
|
6 – 8 Weeks |
Eyebrows should be fully healed, and the final color will be apparent. |
DO NOT pick, peel, or scratch as this could cause scarring or removal of color.
DO NOT touch the affected area except for applying the Vitamin A & D ointment.
DO NOT be alarmed if it appears that most of the color is flaking off – this is normal healing.
