Nano Brows
Get beautiful, customized nano brows in Houston at Dermaluxe Spa, designed to create soft, realistic hair strokes that complement your natural brow growth. Our experienced and certified artists tailor every set of brows to your unique facial features, skin tone, and personal style for beautiful, natural-looking results.
What Are Nano Brows?
Nano brows are our most advanced permanent makeup eyebrow service, using a special digital device and ultra-fine needle to create realistic-looking hair strokes that blend seamlessly with your natural brows. Unlike traditional microblading, which uses a blade and manual method, this eyebrow technique is gentler on the skin and ideal for a wider range of skin types.
No two eyebrows are the same, so your nano brow artist at Dermaluxe Spa will customize your design with artistry and precision to enhance your features without looking too harsh or overly tattooed. Nano brows are a great option for those with sparse, uneven, or thinning brows who want soft, natural-looking, low-maintenance results that last.
Benefits of Nano Brows
01 Natural Looking Results
You want natural-looking results that enhance your eyebrows without looking overly filled in.
02 Reduced Skin Trauma
03 Versatility for Skin Types
Nano brows are an excellent choice for most skin types. If you have very oily or textured skin, we may recommend a different brow technique for better long-term results.
Nano Brows Process
FAQs
What’s the difference between microblading and nano brows?
Microblading uses a handheld blade to manually create hair-like strokes in the skin, while Nano Brows are performed with a digital PMU machine and a single ultra-fine needle. Nano Brows tend to be gentler on the skin, last longer, and are suitable for a wider range of skin types, including many clients with combination or mildly oily skin.
How long do nano brows last?
Nano Brows is a wonderful way to enhance your natural beauty, and it’s designed to last for a good while. Typically, it can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, and often even longer, depending on factors such as your skin type, aftercare routine, and lifestyle habits.
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.
Are touch-ups necessary?
Yes, a touch-up may be necessary for Nano Brows, but only if there is significant pigment loss or uneven fading after the initial session. This follow-up allows us to refine any areas where the pigment may not have retained evenly or where hair strokes have faded more quickly. It also ensures proper color distribution and allows for minor adjustments to shape, symmetry, or the addition of a few extra strokes if needed. Since all permanent makeup gradually fades over time, this step helps maintain the natural, seamless look of your brows. If a touch-up is required, we recommend scheduling it 6 to 8 weeks after your initial procedure to achieve the best, long-lasting results.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
To get the best results from your brow procedure at Dermaluxe Spa, please follow these guidelines:
- Avoid plucking, waxing, or tweezing your brows in the week leading up to your appointment.
- Do not use dyes, bleaches, or semi-permanent gels that stain the skin in the brow area.
- Refrain from taking blood-thinning supplements or medications such as Aspirin, Fish Oil, Niacin, Vitamin E, and Ibuprofen for 48–72 hours prior (unless medically necessary).
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 48 hours before your procedure, as they can increase sensitivity and bleeding.
- If you’re on anticoagulants, consult your doctor and get permission to stop usage for at least 5 days before your appointment.
- Hydrate well the day before—healthy, hydrated skin heals better.
- Schedule Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin at least 2 weeks before or after your brow tattoo.
- No chemical peels or laser treatments on the face for 6 weeks before your appointment.
- Stop using prescription retinoids (like Retin-A) at least 2 weeks prior.
- Avoid tanning or sun exposure to the brow area for at least 2 weeks before and after treatment.
What can I expect after my procedure?
Healing times can vary depending on your skin and the area treated, but following proper aftercare is essential for the best results.
For the first 10 days after your permanent makeup treatment, please avoid the following:
- Touching the Area: Keep hands away to prevent introducing bacteria or causing infection.
- Picking or Scratching: Let any scabbing or flaking naturally shed—picking can lead to pigment loss or scarring.
- Water Exposure: Keep the area dry. Avoid long showers, swimming, hot tubs, or steam rooms.
- Sweating: Skip intense workouts and saunas, as sweat can disrupt the healing process.
- Makeup: Do not apply makeup on or near the treated area until it’s fully healed to avoid irritation or infection.
- Skincare Products: Avoid lotions, exfoliants, retinoids, or acids on the treated area unless specifically advised.
- Sun Exposure: Protect the area from direct sunlight and skip tanning beds to prevent fading and irritation.
- Sleeping on Your Face: Try to sleep on your back to avoid pressure and friction on the healing area.
- Alcohol and Caffeine: Limit both, as they can thin your blood and potentially slow the healing process.
- Facial Treatments: Postpone any facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments until your skin is fully healed.
Following these steps helps preserve your results and ensures a smooth healing experience. Always refer to the personalized instructions given to you at your appointment.

Who Is not a good candidate for nano brows?
Before booking your brow treatment, it’s important to be aware of any conditions or factors that could interfere with healing, pigment retention, or overall results.
Please review the following contraindications and consult with us if any apply to you:
- Skin Irritations or Conditions: This includes active acne, rosacea, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, rashes, significant scar tissue or any infection in the brow area. The skin must be calm and healthy before your appointment.
- Recent Botox: If you’ve had Botox injections near the brow area within the past two weeks, please wait until the area has fully settled.
- Use of Retinol or Tretinoin: Discontinue the use of Retin-A, Tretinoin, or other retinoids for at least two weeks before your appointment. These products increase skin sensitivity and can lead to poor pigment retention.
- Recent Cosmetic Procedures: Chemical peels, laser resurfacing, or microneedling in the brow area require at least four weeks of healing before permanent makeup can be performed.
- Extremely Oily Skin or Enlarged Pores: Oily skin and large pores may impact how well pigment retains and heals. A consultation is highly recommended to discuss realistic expectations and alternatives.
- Eyebrow Hair Transplant: If you’ve had a hair transplant in the brow area, we are unable to proceed with additional permanent brow treatments, as it may interfere with the transplanted follicles.
