Signature treatment
Nano Brows
Hyper-realistic hairstrokes created one at a time with a single fine needle, following the way your own brow hair grows.
How it differs
Nano hairstrokes vs. microblading and powder brows
Microblading uses a hand tool with a blade-like configuration. Nano brows use a digital machine and a single needle, which allows more controlled depth and, for many skin types, strokes that stay crisper as they heal.
Nano brows
Individual hairstrokes, machine-placed, aiming for realism rather than a filled-in look.
Microblading
Hand-tool strokes. Can blur more readily in certain skin types over time.
Powder / ombré
Soft shading that reads more like makeup. A different look, not a lesser one.
Nano Brows — Initial Session
Machine-created hairstrokes mapped to your bone structure and natural growth pattern.
Individual hairstrokes are placed one at a time with a single fine needle, following the direction your own brow hair grows. The result reads as brow hair rather than as makeup. This initial session establishes the foundation; a 4–6 week touch-up is recommended to refine density and shape once healed.
- Suitable for
- Clients wanting realistic definition rather than a filled-in makeup effect, with healthy skin in the brow area and no unsuitable previous pigment.
- Duration
- 3 hours
- Price
- $600
- Longevity / maintenance
- 1–3 years, with annual colour boosts available to refresh tone.
- Preparation
- Avoid retinol, AHA/BHA acids, and exfoliating scrubs for at least 20 days. Skip Botox or fillers 4 weeks before, limit sun exposure 1 week prior, and avoid caffeine, alcohol, aspirin, or ibuprofen 24 hours before your appointment. Arrive with a clean face and no brow makeup.
- Aftercare
- Do not wet brows for 10 days. Apply aftercare cream twice daily, avoid touching or picking, keep makeup off the area, and avoid workouts, saunas, swimming, and direct sun for the recommended period. Full healing takes about 30 days.
Nano Brows — 4–6 Week Touch-Up
The second session that refines shape, density, and colour after the initial treatment has healed.
Scheduled 4–6 weeks after your initial nano brows session, this appointment assesses how your skin has held pigment and adds the density and adjustments needed for a finished, balanced result.
- Suitable for
- Clients who have completed an initial nano brows session with H.D. Esthetics.
- Duration
- 1–1.5 hours
- Price
- $200
- Longevity / maintenance
- Part of the initial two-session process; annual boosts maintain the result long-term.
- Preparation
- Follow the same pre-care guidelines as your initial session: avoid retinol, acids, and exfoliants for 20 days, skip facial injectables 4 weeks ahead, limit sun exposure, and avoid caffeine, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours before.
- Aftercare
- Use the same aftercare routine as your initial session: keep brows dry for 10 days, apply cream twice daily, avoid makeup, workouts, saunas, swimming, and sun exposure until healed.
Nano Brows — Annual/Colour Boost
A refresh for existing nano brows that have healed and faded over time.
For clients with previously healed nano brows who want to refresh colour and crispness. This is not a full reconstruction; it revives existing work that has softened naturally.

- Clients with healed nano brows from H.D. Esthetics who need a colour and definition refresh.
- Duration
- 2–2.5 hours
- Price
- $400
- Longevity / maintenance
- Refreshes existing work; results typically last another 1–2 years depending on skin and lifestyle.
- Preparation

- Aftercare
- Use the same aftercare routine as your initial session: keep brows dry for 10 days, apply cream twice daily, avoid makeup, workouts, saunas, swimming, and sun exposure until healed.

Healing
What to expect while your brows heal
Fresh nano brows always look darker and more defined than the healed result. Here is how the first weeks typically unfold.
- Days 1–3
Fresh and bold
Brows look darker and crisper than they will healed, with possible mild redness or slight swelling. Keep them dry and follow your aftercare routine exactly.
- Days 4–7
Drying and settling
The surface starts to dry, may feel tight, and can flake slightly as the first layer of pigment settles in. Apply your aftercare cream as directed and let any flaking come away on its own.
- Days 8–14
Softer and patchy — normal
Colour softens noticeably as the skin settles, and strokes can look lighter or slightly uneven. Much of the pigment is simply sitting under new skin.
- Weeks 3–4
The healed result appears
Colour stabilizes and the strokes read naturally within your own brow hair. Full surface healing takes about 30 days.
- Weeks 4–6
The perfecting touch-up
Once healed, your touch-up refines shape, density, and colour. Most brows need this second session to settle properly.
Healing is personal: skin type, aftercare, lifestyle, and individual healing all affect retention and healed colour, which is why results are never guaranteed — only careful work and a plan suited to your skin. You'll leave with written aftercare instructions, and you can reach out any time if something looks or feels unusual.
The process
What working together looks like
Cosmetic tattooing is a process rather than a single appointment. Here is the shape of it from first call to healed result.
- 01
Consultation
A complimentary phone call to talk through your goals, skin, any previous cosmetic tattooing, and health considerations.
- 02
Assessment & plan
In person, your features, skin type, and existing growth are assessed and a plan is agreed before anything begins.
- 03
Mapping & colour
Shape is mapped to your bone structure and proportions, then pigment is selected using colour theory for your undertone.
- 04
Treatment
Hairstrokes are placed individually, following your natural growth direction, with checks along the way.
- 05
Healing
Colour softens as the skin settles. You will receive written aftercare and know what each stage should look like.
- 06
Touch-up when required
Once healed, a second session refines density, shape, and colour. Most brows need two sessions to settle properly.
