Nano Hairstrokes
Nano Hair strokes is a cosmetic tattooing technique that mimics the look of real hair strokes using a handheld machine and needle.
What to expect?
Your brow area will be cleansed and then mapped. Once both parties agree on the mapped shape, you will numbed with a Topical Anesthetic Gel. A very fine needle is then used to deposit pigment into the skin creating hair-like strokes. Redness, tenderness and/or swelling may occur. These side effects should subside within a few days. You will also be given aftercare instructions and kit to help promote healing and minimise the risk of infection.
​
During recovery, your brows will appear darker and definer for the first few days after your procedure. Scabbing will occur shortly after. Your brows will lighten approximately 40-50% as the scabs begin to fall off.
