The procedure typically takes 2–3 hours, including a consultation, brow mapping, pigment selection, and the actual application.
Results generally last 1–3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups may be needed to maintain the color and shape.
A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most clients report mild pressure or scratching sensations, but it’s generally tolerable.
Differences Between Permanent Makeup Eyebrow Techniques
1. Microblading
• Description: A technique that uses a handheld tool with tiny needles to create fine, hair-like strokes. Pigment is deposited just beneath the surface of the skin to mimic natural eyebrow hairs.
• Ideal For:
• People with normal to dry skin.
• Those looking for a natural, realistic brow.
• Pros: Natural-looking results, especially for sparse brows.
• Cons: May fade faster on oily skin and require more frequent touch-ups.
2. Powder Brows
• Description: A technique that uses a machine to create a soft, powdery effect, similar to the look of filled-in brows with makeup. The shading is even throughout the brow.
• Ideal For:
• All skin types, especially oily or sensitive skin.
• Those who want a more defined, polished look.
• Pros: Long-lasting and suitable for most skin types.
• Cons: Less natural-looking than microblading, depending on personal preference.
3. Combination Brows (Hybrid Brows)
• Description: A mix of microblading and powder brows. Hair-like strokes are applied in the front of the brows, while the rest of the brow is shaded for added depth and fullness.
• Ideal For:
• Those who want a natural yet defined look.
• Individuals with sparse brows seeking extra fullness.
• Pros: Combines the best of both worlds—natural strokes and polished shading.
• Cons: Requires a skilled technician and may be more expensive.
4. Nano Brows
• Description: A more advanced version of microblading, using a machine and ultra-fine needles to create realistic, hair-like strokes. The pigment is implanted deeper than microblading.
• Ideal For:
• All skin types, including oily skin.
• Those looking for a natural look with longer-lasting results.
• Pros: More precise and longer-lasting than microblading.
• Cons: Typically more expensive and requires an experienced technician.
Key Differences:
Technique, Look, Skin Type, Longevity, Maintenance
Microblading Natural hair strokes Normal/Dry 1–2 years Frequent touch-ups
Powder Brows Soft, filled-in effect All types 2–3 years Minimal
Combo Brows Hair strokes + shading All types 1.5–3 years Moderate
Nano Brows Hyper-realistic strokes All types 2–3 years Minimal
Each technique offers unique benefits, so the choice will depend on your skin type, lifestyle, and the look you want to achieve. Consulting a skilled technician can help you find the perfect option for your needs.
After the procedure, the brows may appear darker and bolder for a few days. Slight redness, swelling, and scabbing are normal. Healing takes about 7–14 days, but full results may take up to 6 weeks.

While generally safe when performed by a trained professional, risks include minor swelling, redness, or infection if aftercare is not followed. Always choose a certified and experienced technician.
Most people are good candidates, but those with certain skin conditions, allergies, or health issues (e.g., pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking blood thinners) should consult their technician or doctor first.
