Nano brows have emerged as one of the most precise, natural-looking eyebrow enhancement techniques available. But what if you’ve had microblading in the past and are now looking to switch to nano brows? If you have older pigment that’s faded, discolored, or layered, you might wonder: “Do I need laser removal first?”
Cleaner, More Realistic Brows:
Lightening unwanted pigment allows for crisp, ultra-fine strokes that won’t blend with old ink.
Greater Flexibility:
A fresh canvas gives your artist more freedom to design a new shape and color.
Long-Term Satisfaction:
Proper correction now reduces the need for frequent touch-ups or dealing with color shifts later.
Additional Cost & Time:
Laser removal requires an upfront investment and may delay your brow transformation. However, it often saves money and effort in the long run.
Mild Discomfort:
Though tolerable, the process can cause temporary irritation and redness.
Healing & Aftercare:
Each session requires diligent aftercare, such as avoiding sun exposure and not picking at scabs, to ensure proper healing.
Evaluation:
We assess your brows to determine how much old pigment remains and whether laser removal is necessary.
Referral (If Needed):
If removal is recommended, we’ll connect you with a trusted specialist for safe and effective treatment.
Post-Removal Healing:
After laser sessions, we’ll wait 6–8 weeks for the skin to heal completely before proceeding with nano brows.
Custom Brow Design:
Once your skin is ready, we’ll craft a personalized brow shape and color to suit your facial features and preferences.
Not everyone with old microblading needs laser removal. For some, minimal color correction is enough. However, if your brows are heavily saturated, discolored, or you want a drastically different look, laser removal ensures the best long-term results.
