Permanent makeup changes as the skin heals. Color and definition soften before the final result can be evaluated.

Brows typically appear more vivid immediately after the appointment.
Darker phase
The area may temporarily appear deeper or more intense.
Light flaking
Some clients experience light flaking as the surface heals.
Healed evaluation

Healing experiences and retention vary by individual, skin type, lifestyle, technique and aftercare.

Before your
appointment.
What are permanent eyebrows?
Permanent eyebrows are cosmetic tattoo or micropigmentation treatments designed to add lasting shape, color and the appearance of fuller brow hair. Techniques include nano brows, microblading, ombré powder brows and combination brows.
What is the difference between microblading and nano brows?
Microblading uses a manual hand tool to create hair-like strokes, while nano brows use a permanent makeup machine and a fine needle. The best option depends on skin type, existing brow hair and the desired healed finish.
Are ombré powder brows suitable for oily skin?
Powder-style brows are often considered for clients who want a softly shaded or more defined finish, including many clients with oilier skin. Suitability is confirmed during consultation.
How long do permanent eyebrows last?
Retention varies with technique, skin type, skincare, sun exposure, lifestyle and aftercare. Permanent makeup fades gradually and may need periodic color maintenance.
Can previous permanent makeup be corrected?
Some faded, uneven or discolored permanent makeup can be improved. Correction depends on the existing shape, pigment saturation, color and condition of the skin.
Are permanent eyebrows suitable for mature skin?
Yes, permanent eyebrow techniques can be adapted for mature or delicate skin. Mini may recommend softer machine shading, nano work or a combination approach after assessing the skin.
How long does the healing process take?
The surface commonly settles over the first one to two weeks, while the healed color is usually easier to evaluate after approximately four to eight weeks.
Do I need a perfecting appointment?
A perfecting session may be recommended after healing to evaluate pigment retention and refine the shape or color where appropriate.
