Individuals with certain medical conditions, allergies, or those on specific medications may not be suitable candidates for permanent makeup. A thorough consultation will help determine eligibility.

Allergies to tattoo ink or permanent makeup pigments are not common, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. If you have an allergy to colorants, such as those found in food or clothing, we recommend doing a patch test one month prior to your procedure. However, if you already have tattoos, have minor sensitivities to makeup, or have seasonal allergies, a patch test isn't necessary. Please call our studio if you would like to schedule a patch test.

Nano Brows can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. However, the longevity of the results may vary based on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow the aftercare instructions.

Individuals with oily skin may find that the pigments fade faster. Similarly, those who engage in activities that cause excessive sweating, such as hot yoga, swimming, or sun exposure, may also notice quicker fading. On the other hand, individuals with normal to dry skin may find that the pigments last longer. Additionally, people who take good care of their skin by avoiding exfoliants and acids around the brow area that may cause fading, may also find that the results last longer.

Yes, a touch-up session is typically recommended 6 weeks after the initial procedure. This touch-up allows us to fine-tune and perfect the results, ensuring they are long-lasting and meet your expectations.

Not every individual needs an in-person consultation. However, we do require that you send photos to our email at contact@dermaluxespa.com when booking your appointment. If you are unsure which treatment to select, have any contraindications, or have had previous permanent makeup done elsewhere, a consultation is required.
